🙁 hi guys dads, i was hoping to see my littel one before christmas and its not going to happen,, ive wrapd all her little presants up, ready to take to the contact center , and no go,, mother the ex, didnt sent her agreement to her solicitor , and i did ages ago,, all mother cares about is her profile pic after pic, on fb,, makes me sick to the bottom ov my hart,, so so low,, i wanna , give up fighting,, the ex will never let me be a dad, ive last hearing in jan,, so long to wait,, im half dead, well feels like i am,, and all ex wants to do is get a new daddy,, i cant feel anything anymore, inside,
Man, so sorry to read that, it's devastating. if you don't mind, I'll share something I haven't written here before. Earlier this year, for father's day, I sent a text to the ex asking about seeing our child. Guess what her response was ? That I wasn't gonna see him because that was her legal advise ;;)
When you say you can't feel anything inside anymore, it reminds me of how I felt at the time. I have a tendency for depression, and what kept me going was family and friends.
I remember at that time also wondering if I was ever going to be a dad, and someone told me that I already was. You are your child's father no matter what. I really hope you can find the strength to keep going. At times like these, the only thing you can do is try and take care of yourself, eat, sleep, [censored], exercise. Taking care of yourself to become the father your child needs and wants.
But yeah, right now it's super tough. Let it out and tells us more if you need to. We are here for you.
