My daughter picked up on a Thursday, 2 years ago. And I have seen her maybe 10 times. Haven't spoken to her in 5 mos. It is killing me. I feel as though she died but she's not. Don't know anything about her. The boyfriend supports her. She has killed me with this action. Imagine I have missed 4 birthdays, xmas, mother's day, countless days all for a guy who encourages this action.

“One day she told me she was getting a lawyer.  I tried to play catch-up, but it was too late.  Apparently I wasn’t enough of a leader in the relationship.  We’d fallen into too much of a routine.  Or at least that’s what I was told.  I’ve been alone for thirteen years now.  The hardest part for me was losing the sense of family.  My youngest daughter barely speaks to me anymore.  I’ve seen her maybe fifteen times since the divorce.  I have a five-month-old granddaughter that I haven’t even met.  I don’t understand it.  I wasn’t that bad.  I didn’t openly argue with their mother.  I never had an affair.  I was present.  I was affectionate.  Maybe I was a little strict, but she was a tough teenager.  We were afraid for her.  She was only fifteen and going to nightclubs.  There was a lot of screaming back then: ‘you’re an asshole,’ ‘you’re not my father,’ things like that.  And maybe her mind is still locked in that time.  Now we speak maybe once a year.  Whenever I ask her about it, she feels attacked.  It’s awkward.  There’s no familiarity anymore.  And it’s not getting any better.  Time is working against us.  Because I feel like I’m losing the feeling of being a dad.  Of loving.  Of caring.  Obviously that’s not true, or I wouldn’t be talking about it.  But everything fades eventually.  At least when someone dies, you can mourn.  It’s so much harder when someone just disappears.” (Paris, France)
