I discussed D7's medical issues from last year and truly gave her a fair mature picture of what was going on without denigrating XW. I told her I was a hand's on father, what days my parenting times were and the teacher responded that she would make a second packet for me and put it in D7's backpack on Wednesdays. Finally, I told her that I had a special relationship with D7 and that it was very important that she have 2 parents involved.
The teacher then seemed to get choked up:
D7's teacher: I know. On the first day of school, your daughter was having a rough time and was crying. I asked her what was wrong and D7 said to me, "I miss my daddy".
A lump came up in my throat. I must be doing something right.
Strength and honor.
