I just saw your post in my thread on P&CE and wanted to say thanks. You're right, B is DD's daddy 100%. I feel very fortunate that he came into our lives. I'm sorry that your dad let you down sometimes as a kid. I don't want DD to go through that- I want so bad to insulate her from it. It's hard when you know that your kid's father adores them but, for whatever reason, just isn't reliable. Hearing you talk about your relationship with your dad now gives me hope that when she gets older he'll still have his place in her life.
BTW, I've noticed you pop up over there from time-to-time. You should come out and play more!

Yes, there is hope for the future. I never went long periods of time w/o seeing my Dad, but I remember times, and my Mom tells me that there were plenty of weekends when he chose work over seeing us.
Once I was old enough to drive, and didn't have to rely on anyone to take me anywhere my relationship with my Dad was better.. and since i've been an adult it's that much better and easier. Plus he lives w/ us.. We actually went to dinner last night, just us..
I hope that DDs Dad gets it together soon so that they can have a good relationship.
I lurk a lot on PC&E.. I don't know a whole lot about about politics so I stay out of those posts.. but I do read them. maybe I Can learn something.
