SUBJECT:

Confused & Guilty

I have an 8 year old daughter. I was married 2 years ago again. I moved to California after the wedding and my daughter stayed with my parents for 2 years before she came to California. She stayed here for about a month and went back because we saw that she could not accept my husband as her dad. Now, she is back with my parents and misses me a lot and i miss her a lot too. I feel depressed that she is not with me and on top of that, my husband wants to have kids of his own. Therein lies my problem because i feel that i cannot have another child whilst i already have one and she cannot be with me. It is guilt that i am feeling. What will my daughter think when i have another child and that child will be with me and she won't? How can i love this other child when my daughter is not with me? The only solution that i can see is divorce. I love my husband a lot and i know he loves me a lot too but it is hard for me. I dont know what to do.
