"Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham opens up to the new issue of Us Weekly about the death of 18-month-old daughter Sophia&amp;apos;s dad, Derek Underwood.&amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s getting easier,&amp;quot; says Abraham, 19, of Underwood, who died in a car accident just two months before Sophia was born in February 2009. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s hard to deal with the fact that Sophia never got to meet her dad. But now that I&amp;apos;ve come out on the show about it, I&amp;apos;m really happy I did.&amp;quot;\r\nPHOTOS: Controversial star momsDespite her rocky relationship with Underwood (the couple -- who dated on and off for two years -- hadn&amp;apos;t spoken for four months before he died), Abraham says he would have been a great father.\r\nVIDEO: Another rocky reality relationship&amp;quot;He would have been loving and supportive and taken care of both of us. When Sophia was born, her face looked just like his, and so did her toes! I wish he would have been there,&amp;quot; she tells Us. &amp;quot;I made Sophia a baby book with notes that he and I wrote to each other. It&amp;apos;s a big collection of our relationship. I have pictures of us going to dances and lots of memories written down to share. I want her to know that he was a happy person who liked to have fun.&amp;quot;\r\nPHOTOS: Stars who grew up too fastShe&amp;apos;s waiting for the right time to open up to Sophia.&amp;quot;When she can comprehend everything, I&amp;apos;m going to open up about what happened,&amp;quot; says Abraham, who will get her associate&amp;apos;s degree this November. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s not going to be easy, but I want her to&amp;#xA0;know she&amp;apos;s loved and not feel the void of not having her dad there.&amp;quot;Now, she is leaning on her parents for help. She calls her relationship with her mom, Debra Danielson, &amp;quot;a work in progress.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nDanielson was arrested and charged with domestic assault after their tension over Abraham&amp;apos;s seeming lack of attention toward her newborn escalated into an altercation and police were called. Danielson pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of interference with a police officer and was ordered to take anger management classes.\r\nPHOTOS: Infamous moments in reality TV&amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re a lot better. We try to go to counseling at least once a month. We&amp;apos;re definitely past the incident, and we&amp;apos;ve forgiven each other,&amp;quot; says Abraham. &amp;quot;I see or speak to my parents [Danielson and dad Michael] daily now, and they&amp;apos;re the best babysitters I could find!&amp;quot;For exclusive interviews with Maci, Amber and Catelynn, pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands today!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
