Lee - I have been reading this quietly remembering this from 'the other side' as it were.

Remember - just like people, no two divorces are alike - yours will be a unique journey. Try not to get sucked into all the hatred that is posted here. However, it looks as though your daughter will be by your side as well. I am sure you have a good support system, but a bit of therapy can go a long way - even two or three sessions can help.

And, believe it or not, at your daughter's age kids are much stronger than you might imagine. She will go through an entire process, hurt, anger, depression, acceptance, but sometimes it helps to allow them to help heal you. You, obviously will be part of her process of moving beyond this, but she can be a huge part of helping you move on, and if you involve her, it helps to empower her. She sounds like she is growing up to be an amazing young woman.

Good luck, and all the best.
