You still have the fantasy that things are going to work out and that you're going to live in this house you've already given up.
Newsflash: This is as good as it gets.
Once you let go of that house psychologically you must make sure you are completely financially divorced from this slacker. For your sake I hope that mortgage is totally his. You must also not expect ANY financial help from him (although he mustn't know this) and budget accordingly. Anything you do get from him should go into a rainy day account, and under NO circumstances do you give even an inch in your demands, even if he doesn't meet them. Document, document, document everything. Make sure he gets copies of all your daughter's bills he is supposed to pay or share so there can be no question legally what is expected of him.
He ain't changing, baby, so you'd better.
