[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much. I am so happy. Now I have to of course protect my kid now that we share custody and such. The separation is just two weeks old. He told his family a whitewashed bullshit version that we are amicably separated and working to show our daughter this is for the best. The REAL truth is I spent MONTHS preparing DD for something that, once it happened, he spent 1/2 hour in a phone call talking to her about it.

Thank goodness she knows he is off his rocker. I have a therapist lined up for her for next week- someone I have seen a few times and I want to make sure I provide her with all resources.

He has moved into some rich bachelor friends mansion. He is all a-twitter about how he is going to "spread his wings".

Just don't poison her against her father. You should be trying to facilitate a good relationship between them. She needs to know and believe that he loves her.[/quote]

Op here. Yes, I always have made sure that she knows loving him is right and good. However, he was also diagnosed with depression and was on meds, and was being "treated" for the anger. So my message was always "Daddy is not well. He is getting help for his anger. We can love and support Daddy while he gets better". So now the message is "Daddy is still working on getting better. You dont need to do anything but love him. That is the best medicine." However, she also knows that if he says/does something weird, she can talk to me about it.

She is with him now for three days. I think he stands a chance at being a better dad now that he has concentrated time and several days off. He was not up to the task of full time parenting.[/quote]
