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.

June Weddings

Went to a friend's wedding last night. Both the bride and the groom's parents were both divorced and remarried, making four parent-couples to include in the ceremony. They handled it spectacularly, everyone was smiling, laughing and having a great time enjoying their children's wedding day. The Bride even had her Dad on one arm and her Step-Dad on the other arm walking her down the aisle. And the two men embraced each other and their daughter at the altar. What a lucky girl to have such a loving supportive family! I'm very happy to be surrounded by friends who are such wonderful people.
