I think it's spring -new beginnings, summer around the corner...but who the heck knows? Oh, he is not seeing his daughter -she may be 13, but it is still my job to protect her. He has not had any contact with her in almost a yr b/c he has been too busy using meth to care about anyone other than himself. Anyone can be a 'dad' -he helped in creating her being, but has not in any way shape or form been there to help create the wonderful person she has and is becoming. He does not get another chance. He blew it. I feel sorry for him, and sad that his choices will effect his entire lifetime, and he will never have a bond with his children -but he is a grown man who made his choices without his child at the forefront of his decisions. I have protected my child, been there for her, paid for everything, and not had the luxery to screw up b/c her growing up in a stable, loving environment is more important than anything else in this world. He has lost her, and lost me even caring if she has a relationship with him or his family. Her safety -and EMOTIONAL well being are far more important to me than how HE FEELS. He will have to drag me to court kicking and screaming if he wants to see her, and I have enough documentation and he has enough crappy history -he will lose..he has already lost. This is non-negotiable to me, so I am not scared or confused or torn. What I am is worried about him showing up again and dredging up all this that we -more importantly my daughter -has laid to rest. But...I will handle it and keep him away -won't be easy...but nothing in dealing with these selfish addicts who come and go at their leasure is easy. However -this time I am stronger. This time I don't feel sorry for him. This time he will NOT hurt my daughter again. This time he has no 'second chances' -it's time my daughter get a chance...to move on from a man who has done nothing but hurt her, come back, leave again, beg to come back, to only leave again. We are sooo off that rollercoaster!! P.S. Heather -I suggest you come to the same conclusion for your sons sake. ;)
