Keel-hauled, but, more time with my kids

That's sweet Fib,

When I hear of people having surgery, I always pray for the doctors and nurses that will be caring for the person. I would imagine most people do they just don't tell you about it.

I really have only read this thread and parts of others and WOW, I am left speechless.

I can only offer my respect for your actions and decisions. I am proud to know that you have not left your children in order to free yourself. They will thank you one day for that.

I did my dad at the ripe age of 35 when for the first time he shared with me the legal battles that he had to try to get custody of me. That was in the 70's and the law wasn't on his side then. He never mentioned it to me, or the reason why because he didn't want to slander my mother and her poor decisions.

PS..... my mom was a great mom except she remarried an abusive man.... he wanted us away from that.

I have always admired my father when he told me that, I had no idea and he thought I knew... he thought my mom would have told me.

Strength and Honor
