Matt I am so sorry you are having to deal with all of this. Justice does come in the long run but maybe not right now.

Your D's see a father who loves them and is trying very hard to parent under difficult circumstances. You are the first man in their life and by staying present for them you are accomplishing so much more than you realize.

Sometimes when parenting teens the best thing you can do is stand your ground no matter what chaos surrounds the child. I think you are showing them through your actions what love is and what family means to you.

Hang in there.
