I have no idea what is the truth.
That is the way my kid’s mom wanted it, and that is why she moved them 2089.88 miles away. The reason given is that the father of her youngest could get work there due to the west coast housing boom. Forget that Austin, a mere 80.5 miles away, was experiencing a similar housing boom.
Her goal was to prevent me from having anything like a normal relationship with my kids and she has excelled. The oldest is now in trouble with the law. Numbers 2 & 3 think my wife and I are meddling where we don’t belong. All we have done is talk to the oldest to hear her side.
She is aware that she has done wrong and must take responsibility for her actions. She would like to come visit when “things” have cleared up. We would like that as well. We have never suggested that she move here although it would be nice.
I have missed a lot of my childrens lives. I have hidden the sorrow I felt from them and unfortunately, in an attempt to lessen my pain, not tried to call them as much as I should. The few visits there have been over the years re-open old wounds and this old bear sulks off to his cave to lick them. Most people tend to shy away from things that cause pain. It is part of our survival mode as a species.
I'm so sorry baby. I know what you are feeling and wish I could take it away from you. She will get her comeuppance, don't you worry. Remember the times your mom has told us Carrie and Arlene will be at odds one day? That day has arrived. Not of course that I think that is the best route for either, but ain't it funny? The boys have been hoodwinked. One day they will snap and realize. Anyhow, I love you!!!
