Upon arising I began to think how sad it is that so many men walk from their children, while others stand proud. It is hard to understand how you walk from your family.
I was thinking about this because it happened to my children. The daughter has struggled with men her entire life. She was just wanting to be accepted and yet would attract abusive men. A son who had a kidney issue which lead to a bone issue and has lived his whole life with a hip pain, back problems due to the hip challenge and will have to have a replacement at the point when he can tolerate the pain no more. The youngest who struggled all through school for acceptance discovers as a young adult he is insulin dependent diabetic and is misdiagnosed as Bi/Polar. After several years and many struggles it turns out he has Aspergers a form of Autism. Footnote: I never forced medication because inside this made no sense. The medication would have killed him since it does not work with insulin.l
All three of these children could have used the assistance of a father but instead this man turned his back. He remarried in a short period of time and walked away from them.
I, the x, never stopped him or his family from seeing the children. When they wanted to see them I put the children on the phone and they made the plans. I would leave prior to arrival and made sure to arrive after they left. I never said bad things about their father. He was the only father they would have had, I had been married to him and the issues were between he and I not them.
Communication is all anyone can expect but for some reason many men stop all forms of communication.
The damage had been done. What next.
All I have ever known is to continue to love, be emotionally supportive, and help my children when needed. I believe it is through a belief in God, that love conquers all.
