Sheena, I would never have survived as a single parent, if it wasn't for the support of my ex at certain times along the way. He is not only a good father, but he is a good friend to me too.

Your ex (and his family) need to understand that teamwork is a necessity in order for your daughter to have the best opportunities she can have. All other animosity needs to be forgiven, for your daughter's benefit.

If it comes down to things being TOO difficult on an ongoing basis, then you will have to do what is "most" right by your daughter. You would not be the first person with MS who has had to make this grueling decision.

Again, I would just caution you to wait till you get through this first year to make anything permanent. Things can change on a dime with this disease; from IMPOSSIBLE to POSSIBLE, and back again.
