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.

Sweet 16

Wow, what a beautiful sunny day for my daughter to turn 16. Sent her a bouquet of flowers almost as beautiful as she is and a box full of gifts. Sure hope I was the first man to send her flowers...ha ha. I'm sure she would have rather they come from JB or "Peeta" but perhaps her daddy is an okay second choice.

Wishing her a fantastic day and hope she has a lot of fun tonite and over her "birthday weekend" ~ maybe she'll have a slumber party at her house with her girlfriends. Would love to be there to celebrate with her, but I guess I'll just have to wait for her to see thru the fog surrounding her and want me around. I will always be here waiting with open arms and lots of love. The whole family sends their love and birthday wishes! Happy Sweet 16 Sweetheart!

    Thanks for reaching out Chuck, all kids need the love of both of their parents, regardless of how the parents feel about each other after a divorce. So sad for my kids to have half their life ripped away. Appreciate your reading and support.
