I tried before and I overwhelmed her. She doesn't have good self esteem. I messed the relashionship all up but I realize my mistakes and we have a child together, haven't been split too too long yet so I have convinced her to come visit next week.

What do I do to show her I am commited and how do I boost her self esteem so she wants to be with a healthy person and have a good life. She is depressed and got briefly involved with a guy who is a abusive. I was just afraid of commitment by very nice to her.

I need to get her to feel her value but only have ten days to convo be her and our child to stay. Help!

Dude, rule #1 - you can't fix her! Her issues are hers, she's got to deal with them herself. And a deadline??? That's completely absurd!

Need some dude rules!

And the flip side, the female rules lol.

Ok fine. No deadline. How should I act when she is here. I can't lose my child again. I though I would never see her again. If I don't get something going I won't for a long time. I tend to try to speed things up and maybe just be to fast.

Be careful what you wish for. You might look back on this time someday & wish you could undo something you've done. Looks like you're trying to enter the recycling business.

That suit from a few years ago...? Didn't fit me & I didn't like the style.. meh.. let me try it on again..

How about talking to her, ask her what she wants for herself and the child, ask her if she feels being with you can provide what is best for the child. She is the only one who knows these answers and the only one who can get things worked out between you.

Get your act together, financially and otherwise to ensure you can file for at least joint custody. If she already has a knack for choosing abusive men, you don't want your daughter learning that crap from her.
