How would you feel about someone else raising your child?

wow!, i think it will be not easy situation specially to your daughter, she still young to understand the situation, also it is not fair to you if someone take good care of here, we dont know what kind of attitude she have for your daughter still we cannot judge, but the thing is yu will feel guilty that someone will raising your child and the love will be deferrent even we are the parent.

I wish that I could say something, or had some advice. I don't have kids, so it's hard for me to say that I understand. I don't know how I would feel. I can imagine that I would probably feel pretty uncomfortable. I hope you figure out how to fix this issue. Good luck.

Well my eldest actually is my ex husbands child and I think at first it was hard for him to accept that my partner had a huge part in his sons life especially as he lives in another country and doesn't get to see his son every week or every other week! Having said that I have always bent over backwards to make sure that we work around the times his father is in the country and rearrange our schedule if he is here in short notice, over the last 11 years I think my ex has come to appreciate my partner's input into our sons life - specifically since we had a daughter 6 years ago. When I told him I was expecting he refereed to the baby as a half sibling and I told him everyone knew that but that our son would be raised as an ordinary brother or sister and we wouldn't be using the 'half' part of it and to give him his due he has never said that again - he knows how close my kids are and how much they love each other! If the situation were reversed I am not sure how I would cope - my son goes to his fathers for a month most summers and I always miss him like crazy and feel lost as I am not a part of his daily life. I am sorry that this is hurting you sweety and I do hope that it all works out well for you! Hugs xxx

I understand your sentiment. Empathizing your situation, it's really hard to accept such thing especially if you think that your child came from your own womb. There's a sense of ownership or property in this case. So you may slowly accept this, you need to visit or bond with your child once in a while. Kudos.
