SO glad to hear you are on the path to healing.
As far as visitation goes for her father, just try and focus on her best interests, and not fall into that easy way of witholding his visitation as a weapon. I know it would be very easy to do. As long as he is not abusive to her, I would give him more time. Look at it this way, you are not only giving him more time, you are giving your daughter more time. So don't look at it just one sided. She needs her father. Again, as long as he is not abusive to HER either. If that was the case then forget those rights. But it doesn't sound like it. Don't punish her by withholding her daddy from her. When my parents divorced (when I was 21) I had to really seperate my dad from my mom's husband. If that makes sense. I had to listen to my mom, support her, HATE what my dad did to her, but walk away still loving my dad because he was my dad and was an awesome father to me. That was hard as a 21 year old to seperate. I can't imagine trying to work all that out as a small child. With your help I am postive she will move in the right direction. You have done the right step in removing the violence from the home. I am extremely proud of you. Extremely. May God's blessings continue to heal you and your family.
