When I hear stories like yours, I know I made the right decision when I packed up my kids and moved out of the state where my ex lives. My ex had the same package deal mentality, and there was no way I would have been able to put up with all that drama. I’m looking forward to hearing more of your story.

I'm sorry that you had to experience some of these things. You were always a very strong person and am sure things will work out in the end. I never knew Dorald.

That was an awesome story. I cant wait to hear more. It's fascinating how the moments in time in our childhood are so formative and can transform our perspective and direction of our lives. I commend your perseverance in pursuing a consistent relationship in your daughter's life despite any roadblocks place in your way by her mother. It is our responsibility as parents to never give up on our children in cases like this, regardless of the actions of the other parent because, as we know, it was because of our actions that the child is here in the first place. I hope things continue to go well for you, your daughter and your family. Wow! That was an awesome story. I cant wait to hear more.
