It is good to see your D15 sharing her feelings about her mom. “If mom cared she would be in my life”, my D15 also has a similar viewpoint about her mom. It’s nice to see them talking about their feelings, as infrequent as it is, instead of holding them in.

I am glad D15’s was brave for her tests. It sounds like there were quite a few and it took some time. She is a strong girl and I know you’re proud of her.

Just need patience for a few more weeks and then the results and some answers.

That was an interesting conversation with XW. Her comment my minds racing and it’s like I am going crazy, if that doesn’t scream MLC. She still won’t do the work and face things, so unfortunate. Maybe someday, hopefully, for her own sake.

Stay strong Irish, you’re a great dad and a damn fine example of how to get through this.


Feelings are fleeting.
Be better, not bitter.
Love the person, forgive the sin.
