Excerpt
All I know is I could not take it and the only way to deal with it was to let her go. I talk to Nikki several times a day and she convinced me she would never do it again; she asked me or begged me to come back. Her statement was, "Who can you trust if you can't trust me? I would be a fool to do that again and cause you pain. God would take my life if I did it again". Well, it sounded okay and I did not want to lose my daughter, so I figured maybe I should shallow my pride and see what happens.
