How I Got Here

I have been separated for 3 years and soon to be divorced. I have three great kids who range in age from 12 to 19. I knew she and I were having troubles but when she left with the kids, she totally destroyed my world. She took my identity and with that gone, my entire focus on life and all my objectives simply vanished.
My daughter, who was 9 at the time, called that day, crying on the phone and begging me, "I want my family back." and those 5 words crushed me. Only another father would understand how devastating it is to have your child beg for something and not be able to give it to her, no matter what you did.
The initial few months were a blur what with getting legal issues together such as custody, child support, visitation and then the turmoil of possession division and bank account changes. Add to that, having to interact with FRO (a Canadian Government support payments overseer) and it is no wonder that I don't remember specific days or minor events during that period.

Please feel free to post your experiences, opinions, links that helped you, questions, etc. I found that communication with others in the same boat showed me that I was not alone and that there are people out there that actually try and help.

It has taken me 3 years to reach the point where I can create this blog and through it, maybe help one other dad get through the blackness.
