When my daughters father and I divorced he made many promises and he just didnt always follow through.. It was hell seeing my daughter age 6 or more be let down over and over.

My Therapist finally got me to realize that I HAD NO CONTROL over what he did or didnt do, or forget etc.

I just made sure that my daughter knew I loved her and if she ever needed me I was right there for her. I was angry at him, My anger didn't help me or my daughter. So I quit getting angry over it. It is what is it.

I dont know how old your daughter is . But by the time my daughter hit about 10 she figured out how her dad was and made peace with the fact that he wasnt always going to do and be what she would like him to be.
