Every once in a while I pop back to read your insights.<br /><br />In my situation, I was an at-home dad. Though I personally had an ever present and involved father, per se, I have no recollection of him spending any quality time with me...so, I was determined to have a different role in the lives of my children. Yet, the separation has meant I have gone from full time care to not seeing my kids at all as my ex wife and her family work together to ensure I see them as little as possible. Frankly, it's appalling....and it's totally soul-destroying for someone like myself who defined himself solely as "Dad".<br /><br />I am full of anger and bitterness! I understand that those sentiments won't help me in the long run but it's my reality at the moment. I both admire and despise your ability to accept graciously the ramifications of your divorce in regards to your relationship with your daughter. Missing out on my children's lives (mostly my 8 yr old daughter, the youngest) is absolutely killing me inside.<br /><br />At 45 years of age, without a home or a job, it's pretty difficult to get excited about "starting over". If this is God's plan for my life, I'm not so sure I want anything to do with that plan.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />BenjaminBenjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06345019877917569226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2532545828899975303.post-66728279337806874382012-06-11T00:47:44.316-05:002012-06-11T00:47:44.316-05:00Shawn,
