Any advice on supporting a five year old through divorce?

I just kicked my husband out and will be filing for divorce. I'm having a hard enough time keeping myself together right now but I'm doing it for our five year old daughter. She however is mad at me because I kicked daddy out and is crying. I'm at a loss as to how to help her and it's only making it worse on me. I can handle me, and I can handle this extra of her being heart broken, but I feel like I should somehow be able to say something to help her.





I don't need anyones crap about making my marriage work because trust me when I say I wish that were possible, but it's not and I've tried and tried and tried... but marriages don't work when only one person is trying... so please save your crap for someone who doesn't have a logical reason for it.Any advice on supporting a five year old through divorce?
Well, my sympathies for the unfortunate situation. I am a single dad myself, so I have walked in your shoes. I agree that some marriages just will not work out, no matter what. If your ex-husband intends to stay an active part of your children's life, then you can reassure your daughter that way. Let her know that mommy and daddy still love her and always will. It will be tough on her knowing that daddy doesn't live there anymore, but she will adapt.





I have joint custody with my ex, and I cannot suffer a deadbeat dad. Hopefully, your ex will do the right thing and not just pay child support. You are doing everything you can. You are there, being a mom. How this will affect your daughter really depends on her and your ex.





You are doing your best and that is more than what is expected.Any advice on supporting a five year old through divorce?
People CRAP is exactly what you do need. Your going to be joining the millions of VERY unhappy single parent women out there. A woman with a child is NOT going to attract a better man then what you have now, or had. Hell I have no idea of the circumstances here but I can tell you this EVERYONE has it in them to make anything work.


Fact the world seems to happily ignore is children that do not grow up in a house WITH a father are ALWAYS messed up in the head about men.
