I saw a photo of my daughter recently. She was wearing a sweatshirt and necklace that I bought her as a gift for her birthday. I was very excited to see this, because I haven’t had a relationship with my daughter, or my son, since early 2008. I thought, “she can’t be that mad at me if she’s wearing the gifts I sent her.”


My excitement was squashed when a friend of mine asked if I thought she knew the gifts were from me. This thought hadn't occurred to me. I thought “no, my ex wouldn’t do that”, but then again, I never thought she’d make good on her promise that if anything ever happened to our marriage I would never see my children again. I stayed in a loveless marriage just to be with my kids. I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel disappointed and manipulated.


So, I’ve started this blog in hopes that my children will see it and know how much I love and miss them ~ always have and always will. I will never ever give up on them, and my heart and my door will always be open and waiting, no questions asked. And speaking of questions, maybe reading this will cause them to question some of the things they have heard, or not heard, or been led to believe. They are smart kids, I'm sure they will be able to see through the fog surrounding them eventually.

Bubbles of Love Day ~ April 25th

Come join us in blowing bubbles of love to show that children should be able to show love and be loved by all their family members without feeling like traitors. Visit bubblesofloveday.com for more information.


Twenty Texas mayors have proclaimed April 25, 2012 "Parental Alienation Awareness Day" in their cities. These mayors recognize that the children in their communities need and deserve parents to encourage positive and loving relationships with the other parent and that it harmful to children when their parents do not do so. Thank you, Texas mayors, for being community leaders that care! This is happening all across the U.S. and the world, although not too much support here in New York...imagine that.

Hope my children get to blow some bubbles on Wednesday. I will certainly be on my porch blowing mine ~ won't you join me?
