Reminder to hug your kids and enjoy every minute with them - No matter what

[Crookhunter]

Prayers sent, you sound like a great dad and that's all she needs even if it's limited time. Your still in her life brother and she knows that you would do anything for her. Stay strong and continue to show her how a man should treat a woman.

Hang in there Champ. I know the pain. And thanks for the reminder. Cause your babies will always be "your babies", no matter how old they get.

One of the conclusions about life I have come to know is:
The Gift of life is not just the one we are given. Or just the children we are blessed with. It is all the lives that surround us each day, and every moment. For "life" as we know it, is a very delicate thing.

Prayers Up. I can only imagine how tough it is.

Best thing you can spend on kids is time.

I've been in your shoes before, what really got me was dropping my girls off at the house of the man my wife was cheating on me with. I still to this day despise them but I act cordial when I see them at functions, for the grand kids. It's hard but it does get easier the older they get. One piece of advice is when she gets to be a teen she may try to use you to get back at her mother, just be aware of the whole story before acting.

Ugh. As a father, it's really hard to imagine. Prayers for you and the amazing relationship between a father and daughter. You get to control that part. Thank you for the reminder.

6 years later and it's still the most difficult situation I deal with on a weekly basis. I do have them overnight Tuesdays, but picking them up Friday after school and dropping them off Mondays at school are the most happy and depressing times of my life, and I dont see that changing.

Luckily for me they are both very involved in sports and activities that I get to go to on some of my off days. I dont miss a practice, let alone a game.

Thank you for the reminder. I seriously do not know if I could emotionally survive being away form my son like that. I grew up with divorced parents. When I look back on it, I could not imagine being in the same situation with my son.

Prayers up for you and your daughter.

I'm in your shoes my brother. I hate the drop them off every other Sunday. It was super hard yesterday when all three of them told me that the did not want to leave and that miss me and wanted to stay longer. I just broke down and hugged all three of them as hard as I could, told them I loved them and gave them a big fat kiss.

Prayers to you and your daughter

God Bless

Prayers up!

Every other Sunday at 6 pm sucks, and the other Sundays are ecstatic at 6 pm.
