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???
I try to keep myself busy by crocheting,cross stitch, or making things with clay

Re: Thinking about children
Hi @Leeanne1
Sounds like a tough time right now when thinking about your children and them not speaking to you 😭. Is there any particular support you'd find helpful from the Community tonight? I know you've shared before that making things is a good distraction. Could that help you tonight🌿?
