  I could not agree more particularly as the mother of a nearly six year old

  Thank you, Roze! I hope your child is doing well. You seem like an amazing human being, and I'm sure you are a fantastic mother. :]

  That is so sweet of you! I hope i am a good mother - i adore my child - and i feel a bit rubbish that i could not make the relationship with her dad work - so i have denied her that but hey ho ....better than warring parents i guess

  The fact that you can handle the split with your child's father maturely is very admirable. It is much better than warring parents, and your child will be better off emotionally to not have to witness the, "daddy-hates-mommy-and-mommy-hates-daddy-back" fights. If that makes any sense whatsoever.

  Yes it does. My ex has proved himself a quite malicious character who seems intent on harming my life and happiness but at least in front of our child he behaves himself - well most of the time. Sounds like you had a pretty tough upbringing?

  Yeah, my upbringing was rather tragic. Not to sound like a martyr or anything... But, I think I've turned out okay, especially with all the odds stacked against me. I'm really glad he manages to (mostly) behave himself in front of your child. When he doesn't, do you generally call him out?

  I try to ignore it - i don't want her attention to be drawn there but that is probably rather naive.

  I personally think that children are more preceptive than most will ever give them credit for... It's probably wise that you ignore it, as to not stress her out more than needed. I'm sure you're handling it well, Roze. You seem to have a great ability to maintain a level head for your daughter's sake.
