My wife walked out and took our daughter when I lost my job over boozing

DEAR DEIDRE: THE school bus drops my daughter off outside my bedsit every morning, so I can see her from a distance.

She’s the person I get out of bed for every day.

I was married for 16 years and our daughter is 12.

Our marriage broke down during the pandemic when I lost my job and we struggled financially.

I got another job but my wife asked me to leave.

I thought it would be temporary but despite my pleading with her, she didn’t want me back.
