Yes, I remember encouraging you protect your rights as a father. I realize you wanted to give her the courtesy in fear of pushing her further away and in hopes that she would reconsider her decision. I get it.
Unfortunately, more often than not, most Walk Aways leave a wide path of destruction before realizing the pain they have caused. They talk themselves into believing that things will be better by making a change. Hell, logic gets thrown out the window.
Just as I encouraged you to fight for the rights to your child, I'm gonna encourage you to take the high road. I'm gonna encourage you to continue DB'ing. I'm gonna smack you one when I think it will help.
I can relate to what you are going through. I dealt with the lawyers and courts, etc. I asked myself the same questions. The whys. Is it worth it? I felt hopeless.
I type this to you as my wife is driving us to our Thanksgiving destination.
Hang in there Bruce.
