Hello

[714Dad]

1. I always listen to my girls and address their concerns (when it's not a tantrum).

2. I stay calm as they spiral out of control, telling them I love them and that I am here for them.

3. I keep my promises to them, and if I can't, i talk to them about why and make a compromise.

4. I GAL'd with them and went to the fair. Seeing them laugh was amazing.

5. I have them all vaccinated.

6. I let them run naked in the back yard if they want to.

7. I am finally making games out of work and they are accepting them (something i could never do and that my W did well).

8. I love their mother. (it's a Leo Buscaglia thing).

9. I am working every day to be more calm and centered so that I can help them with the undulation of emotions.

10. I love them unconditionally.

11. I am writing an entire fictional children's novel based on them.

12. I am being strong and positive in front of their mother, hearing her and validating her feelings no matter how angry she gets. I am not giving up hope.

13. I am fighting to keep the house they came home to as infants so that they have someplace familiar and solid to hold onto.
