I'm not sure why you think that you weren't part of the formative years. Yes, you weren't there for the first steps, but you can be there for her when it really counts. Don't let this woman destroy what should be one of the most important relationships in your life. Yes, it is going to be difficult and at times unpleasant having to deal with your ex, but I fully believe that it takes two parents to help raise a very well-adjusted child. I'm sure it is possible without both, but this woman does not sound like the type that could do it.
