X... I feel your pain in this. LSS told my boys (not biologically his but his none-the-less since they were 1 and 2...now 8 and 9) that he never loved them and hoped he never had to see them again.
Pretty heavy fortow little guys. I told them he was sick and that medicine wouldnt help and that they had a whole bunch of other people that loved them and then we made a big list and added everyone's pictures to it. IT's a nice reminder onthe wall for them.
Your daughters are very lucky to have a man in their life so they know what to strive for. They are also lucky (?) to know what they do not want to be and the kind of parent they never want to be to their own children.
