Hit me right in the feels. I once went to pick my kids up at 6pm on Friday for my weekend like the divorce papers said. Once again, she had just left with them for the umpteenth time. I was pissed so I took my divorce papers to the sheriff and asked him to find my kids and ex-wife so I could have them for my weekend. His response, "You'll have to get a court order before I can do anything." I waved my divorce papers in his face and yelled in despair, "THIS IS A FUCKING COURT ORDER!". I missed a lot of time with my kids because that was the day I realized that there was nothing I could do. Today I am proud of the fact that, although it took me many years, my kids who are now grown and married, and have their own lives.......they are both more comfortable with me than they are with their drug addict Mom in every way. It was a number of painful years, but I stuck to my guns and continued to be the biggest part of their life that I could be. Never giving up was my vindication.

It's a damn shame that this is how it works.

My dad was a pos. Glad he never got a chance to ruin me. When he died, I got a call, "your dad died." Could not feel anything. Like someone told me a perfect stranger died. My son was 6months old. It hit me. My son will never say "meh" when I die.

I do my best to not judge people. The one thing I can NOT abide, is being a shit parent. If you love your kids, try your best, and your kids feel loved, I will accept a whole lot of other shit about a person. If you're a shit parent, I have absolutely no time/love/compassion for you.
 
To ODD and Peter. I get what you 2 are saying.

My parents were part of the "greatest generation". Lived thru the great depression and then WW2. As the result of what they had to deal with neither were good at emotion or showing it. And not good with communication. I also had to deal with a bit of hypocrisy and doubletalk. Such as it is.
As the result I swore to myself if I had a child I would play it straight. And that bore itself out. Even tho the problems between his mother and me caused issues, he will tell you that he knows that I always played it straight with him and told him the truth.
And, regardless of whatever if he ever needed me I would be there. And that worked itself out a coupla times and involved thousands of miles.
Now he's 38 with a wife and daughter(i'm a grandpa) and we had a coupla heart to hearts several years back. And he knows to this day if he wants to talk he can call or come by and we'll talk about whatever.

Yeah, some people man or woman should never ever under any circumstances be a parent. And some who would love to be parents can't concieve and have to deal with the rat race of adoption, while some crack whore can get pregnant and have the gov pay for her to squirt it out.

Well, whoever was the first to say life ain't fair told a big truth. Such as it is.
