Theoden,
I understand exactly where you are coming from. Even if a noncustodial father/mother tried to stay in contact, he/she is not with them everyday and misses out on those little things in life that matter. I even told my H one day a few months ago. I said you are missing out on so much with youngest D. I said you don't know what she and her friends are doing, who her latest crush is, etc. I would be so sad if I didn't know those things about my D. I would miss the funny little stories she tells me about her day. In other words if I was the wanting to leave I would do everything in my power to work it out so I wouldn't miss out on those important things. Theo, I know you would also, as would other LBS.




Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.
