You are not sad and this is not a stupid reaction. You are caring and have worked very hard for what you have achieved. The thing is that your ex walking out on you and your daughter has been a defining moment in your life and your life and your expectations altered at that point. If you had seen this picture at any time since you would have felt the same.
You have managed to rebuild your life since and although it hasnt been easy you've done it. It is perfectly natural to feel this way when confronted with an image of a seemingly happy and perfect lifestyle. But i agree with everyone else on this, that a photo just tells a story of one moment in time. It is not a true reflection of someone's life.
I am recently single and feel quite alone at the moment. I went to the local shopping centre on Monday and felt that everyone else was in a couple and I was the only single (sad ! ) person, but a friend pointed out to me, that those couples may have been together but who knew if they were really happy? And if they really wanted to be together?
You should be very proud of what you have achieved. You have done your absolute best. Your ex-husband deep down is probably very guilty and ashamed of how he walked out on you and failed to support his daughter. And if he isn't, then shame on him. You have your daughter, something he hasn't. x
