Hi All,

My toddler really misses my ex. My relationship ended on bad terms, however my toddler really misses him. My ex is the only father figure that she has ever had, he has been in her life since the day she was born. Her biological father is not in the picture, and has not been before she was born. My toddler asks to go to my ex's house and to call him often. I tried to change the subject however she is very persistent in wanting to see him. I tried to ignore it thinking that she would forget him, but she continues to ask for him. I told her that he moved away only to have her tell me that she wants to go away with him while making a sad face. I am uncertain about what I should do in this situation. My ex and I were in a 3 year relationship we broke up and go back together 2 1/2 years later before she was born, we officially ended things October 2011 after living together for nearly a year and 1/2. I do not want to get back with him nor would I use my child to attempt to have any involvement with him. I really love my little one and only want the best for her, so how do I help her emotionally with the break up? Does anyone have any positively productive suggestions?

Thank you in advance for good advice.

P.S Positive responses ONLY, I'm a great mom trying to do the best for my little one.
