Quote: but I honerstly feel like whatever I do for him or them is not good enough (even the people on here think I am not a good enough mother, I can tell) and it just makes me want to run away and hide somewhere.
I'm not judging your mothering, just reading into your posts that your daughters want you in their lives and looking for ways that it would be possible to see them. And trying to offer you hope that if there was any way to see them consistently that you could feel more like their mother. I actually think Andy is about the worst parent I can envision. Seriously...what kind of person sees children as possessions? I'm pissed at him. I don't have any suggestions because it sounds like you've been there and done that. I guess my only suggestion is to get Andy out of your life. Don't text him, don't talk to him on the phone, don't IM, don't open the door for him. Just let him go completely. If he truly loves you the way he should he'll figure out a way of regaining your love. Just MHO.
