I am a lone parent with a 16 yr old daughter, I was married to her dad for 15 years, he expected me to do all of the childcare, we both worked full time but I worked nights, there were times when I was worried about my child and his temper, when it was his turn, and we've divorced 5 years.
I work full time and I don't know if the wounds are healed fully, I feel guilty about working and I'm not in a profession, so I'm just a carer and i prepare for being away for 12 hours a day, I call and check and prepare a meal for my daughter, she will always tell me on my days off work where she is going.
I just have only worked as a carer and I have never had child support from the dad, I'm constantly exhausted and angry because of this, and I feel so much guilt. I feel my daughter is ok, but I work long hours and I'm neglecting my daughter, anyone else with an absent father that can help me get over this total hate and lack of understanding as to why a dad would do this?
