Message: [QUOTE="jleves, post: 2058540, member: 757"] I'm going to have a somewhat different take on this to some extent (although the end thoughts are about the same). Let's start with the bad: losing an unborn child is horrible. One of my very best friends went through this several times before finally having a healthy boy. It's really tough and the means to finalize the pregnancy takes a serious toll. We have raised money and walked with them for an organization called [URL='http://www.foreverfootprints.org/']Forever Footprints[/URL]. I'm sure there is something like this on your side of the country. Hopefully participating in something like this will make you closer when the event can drive you apart. So you have had one really bad thing happen, but as I see it, you have had 3 great things happen. 1) You have gotten away from someone who for some reason didn't want to be with you for some period of time - so much so, she wanted a divorce. The suggestion of infidelity seems pretty reasonable considering she later wanted to get back together. You decided to drive through the night almost crashing twice for a reason - you probably suspected the situation and wanted confirmation (tell me this didn't go through your mind continually on your drive). 2) You found a woman who loves you enough to not only move in with you, but introduce her daughter to you and 3) you have a young girl who wants you to take on the role of being her dad (or at least step dad, but it sounds like sperm donor dad is out of the picture, so she wants you to be her dad figure). That is amazing! On top of all that, you have a new house with no baggage in it. Although you and your new girlfriend have had a tough break, overall, it sounds like you are pretty blessed with the gifts you have been receiving. Focus on those things. And as many others have suggested, remove all contact with the ex. You have a bigger role to fill and like spoiled milk, that will never get better. Time to step up Daddy. [/QUOTE]
