No, I don't think you're robbing her of anything. You must give up the guilt, Trippin.
You know that we all do the best we know how at the time we do it, so there's really no room for guilt in your mind. What's the expression? "Don't ever measure yourself by someone else's standards because there will always be lesser and greater ones than ourselves". It took me a while to learn that it's okay to compete; it's also
perfectly all right not to compete.

Enjoy your life and your child while you can. She loves you and that's what life is
really all about in the ultimate meaning of it, Trippin.

You're really a very fine person battling some ghosts and some real problems financially, and I hope they're going to clear up.

Be careful about whom you fall in love with, though; never let it be out of a need, but, rather, out of a partnership of two independent people.

Take care.
