lox, I want to tell you how very much I admire you. You fought for the safety of your daughter, and I am sure the price was huge in many ways. You are the kind of a man I would hope my own daughters would find to walk the world with. Thank you for setting such a splendid example. Your little girl is so lucky you are in her life, and one day will realize that.

There is no need to restate the excellent advice above, other than to second the fact that this woman must never, ever be with this child alone. You have fought so hard for her so far, that you must not let your ex endanger her in any way.

And in the meantime, I offer my hopes and prayers that this woman will hit bottom and seek the help she so desperately needs. Your daughter would be better off if she had two people in her life.

All the best,

Mick
