Hi it's been a tough fathers day for me second year without hearing from my adult kids after the nasty marriage breakdown and divorce involving domestic violence against me by my ex wife. I am very down because l care and think about my kids every day and l have a granddaughter that l haven't seen for 2 years also. I feel my ex wife is controlling the kids having turned them against.me .I worry about my granddaughter growing up without her grandfather because my daughter is too selfish to allow her to see me. I have never hurt anyone but l feel like l am.such a bad dad and l hate to think what crap my granddaughter is being told.It takes away meaning to my life. I doubt the situation will ever improve. Why why do people still hurt me???
No I don't talk to them about their brothers or sisters

Re: Family separation
that's fair @Leeanne1 you mentioned you're worried about her - what about your daughter is worrying you? did something happen to make you feel worried?
have you been doing some self-care recently?

That's really tough @Leeanne1 I'm so sorry. Are you able to do some gentle self-care tonight?
