Breaking the cycle
So I come from a broken family. My parents were divorced when I was 8. They got a divorce bc of my dad's infidelity. I grew up sayin I wanted my husband to be nothing like my dad (dont get me wrong I love my dad with all my heart but he's not a good husband) I swore up n down when I have kids I would have a "complete" family. Well...Kay's dad n I r not together bc of his lying n cheating n he reminds some what of my dad...just what I said I didnt want. I want this cycle to end. How do I try n prevent Kay from going through the samething when she gets older?

Only advice I recommend is finding a good man that will treat both you and your daughter like you are his world. Always have respect for one another. You are leading by example and she is absorbing everything like a sponge.
There is no need telling her how horrible her father was to you. She doesn't need to know the details. All she needs from the two if you is unconditional love and guidance.
My dad was an ass too. My Mom left him when I was 4 cause she found out something she didn't like. We tried for years to call him, as his daughters, but he was always 'busy'. Then he passed away at 50/51 when I was 12. Hit me hard cause the time I did actually have with him, I was such a daddy's girl.
@mimi36 I didnt think he was like my dad until we split n then I saw it.
