Hi! Thanks for this AMA. My partner and I are going through this subject right now. He hasn't seen his 12 y/o daughter in almost 2 years and currently is on medication for his depression from missing her. They both where super close, even more than she is with her mom. Her mom was diagnosed with cancer and became mean to everyone in her family and try to put daughter against her dad. The little girl is now afraid she's gonna get kidnapped by her dad and his gf (me) and everyone who has seen her says she's not the happy girl she used to be. We are currently waiting for visitation rights to be set so we can start healing our relationship with her, which was marvelous. My q is, how could we restore all that has been lost and what can we do to don't let this hurt her more?

Thanks a lot foryour answer and for bringing light to this matter, it was about time as we all know or have been in this situation, too.
