Hi thanks for replying.. I don't have a great relationship with my family and there the ones who have custody of my daughter until she is 18. I made mistakes when I was younger and at 31 years of age I am still making up for them. I've gone to mediation to increase time with my daughter and I got what I was asking for ..

I'm at a cross roads I have spoken to professionals who have told me how to approach introducing my child to my now partner of 4 years and it worked for some time but out of bo where her behaviour towards me and my entire family has shifted.

And when my family member finally gets her to come snd vist me at my house or speak to me on the phone it's very cold .

My partner is the reason I have reunited with my child and no longer suffer with my addictions. I just don't know what else to do ... View more
