Ok this is totally fucked up. A father who couldn't even manage to stay in his daughter's life 30 years later decides he's going to try to get custody of his daughter's kids???? Oh yeah I can see how that's gonna go. You know, my father has got to be the biggest asshole out there on the face of the earth.
My son and daughter WANTS to be with their father. After hitting their teen years, while it was necessary to go for the summer, have found that they WANT to live with their father. It's hard knowing my kids are not with me. I raised them since birth and have always had them with me. My Johnathan is my life as well as my Sammy. But you know, I can not always keep them away from their father. Their father has the right to be a dad. He's been a dad finally for 6 months and doing a damned good job at it.
Larry isn't innocent by far. He does some things that strains the relationship between myself and my kids. However, it is his time now. It's his turn to be the parent and raise these kids. I've worked so hard and sacrificed everything for them. All three of them reminded me today that I've dedicated my life since 19 years of age to being a mom. It's my turn now.
Where does a man who couldn't even be a father to his first three kids get off thinking he can be a father to their children? I mean he could have stayed in town and dealt with visitation but he didn't. Like a coward he ran 8 hours away. In 33 years I've only had but one birthday present from him. My last two birthdays he has been in my life. Did I get a happy birthday from him? Hell no. Did I get an email saying he loved me? Hell no. But Ya know He can try to fuck with my kids' lives.
Dad, I wish for once you could read what I write in my blogs. Actually you don't even deserve the title Dad...you're a stranger. You're no one in my life. You don't deserve me as a daughter. You don't deserve my respect or love. Richard, you're not my dad. My dad, I buried four years ago after he died of complications due to heart problems. He's the one that raised me. He's the one that screwed up yes...but his love for me didn't change.
I wish I had never met my father. I wish I had never given him the chance to know me. I wish I had found other solutions than I did because had I found other solutions, my father would never have seen my children. EVER.
