My ex left me after 5 yrs, a child, and having ask me to marry him in March and cheating and leaving at the beginning of May. My dilema is our child. Here he has let the woman he is with disrespect me(he left on Mother Day, no Happy Mother's Day, no gift, then that night let's the woman he left for but swore he didn't want to be with text me and try to send pictures of them together just to rub things in and make them hurt worse). Since he has left, he has done nothing but continually give me and his daughter false hope of him returning. He didn't bother to call or come by on Father's Day but spent it with her and her 2 kids. On our daughter's birthday, he came to the house with new shoes and new clothes but no gift or even a card for her, spent 5 minutes with her and do nothing but say hateful things about me to her. Then for 2 months he didn't even call or try to see her at all. Now that summer's over and he feels he has time for her again, he acts like he cares but still never even calls to speak to her. He doesn't pay child support nor does he try to get anything for her. Many times I have called or texted him to let him know she wants to talk or see him and he doesn't. He has even hung up on her. I don't want my child thinking that what he has done to me or that him walking out on family the way he did is not right. He has continually put the woman he is with above his daughter in his life and that isn't right either. I do not want to keep Kayli (our daughter) away from him but at the same time he is not doing right by his child. I want her to have good morals and family values. Here he is wanting to be a parent only when its convenient for him, only when he has time. How do I deal with this when I am hurting so much still and really I don't want our daughter around him if this is how he is going to be?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
We tell our kids and tell our kids that there is consequences for doing bad things, but how do you instill it when they see no consequences for what thier parents do wrong? What consequence does he get? He gets what he wants. He gets the joys of a parent when he wants and that is it. He has gone out of his way to purposely make things harder for me. He has made me lose my daycare, he has tried to make me lose my job, people in his family that think he is wrong for what he did he treats like crap and causes problems so much that they don't want to come around for fear of what he might start. Friends we had have been made to choose. Its a really big mess that he has created and I am so torn on this issue.
