When we split it was very difficult on all of us because of the child. It got to the point where the girlfriend was begging me to come around just to remain a stable figure in her child's life.

I'll never do that again. It was heartbreaking. Loosing the girlfriend was one thing, but loosing her daughter hurt even more.
