[LOSTinTHEworld]

Two tears ago my wife walked out on me and took my two daughters with her. Every day i wake up and life seems so empty, why bother wakeing up i ask myself.... then i remember my girls. This brings happiness for a minute or two then it brings the pain of not being with them. Every day is a constant battle and some times im so close to loosing it but then i see my girls and their beatiful smiles and this gives me enough strenth to continue another day. I havent seen my girls for over a month now and i am finding it really hard to keep going. My ex has decided to go to mediation for visits wich is really horrible as i only get two hours every fortnight, but i suppose its better than nothing. I just had to rant sorry for boreing you and thanks for reading. ian

Lost ((hugs)) it's good you use your girls as inspiration to get through the rough stuff, even if you're unable to see them as much as you like. It's obvious you cherish them, be sure to let them know every time you see them.

im so sorry that you are going through this pain, i cant tell you i know how you feel becoause i dont, but i can say i understand the not wanting to start each day with something missing from your life, from what i can tell from your post you are doing the best you can with what time you have with your children, they know you love them and as they get older they will form there own opions about what has gone on between you and there mum
just show them you are there for them

Why did your wife leave and take the kids? What caused the necessity of mediation?

Those two things are what you should focus on and how you can change them so that you don't have to be in this position anymore.

Use your love for your children as a catalyst to overcome whatever difficulties you are facing internally.

sending you much care and understanding.... I love my son so much... he is 23... and to be separated from your daugthers has got to be so very difficult... may I offer a ray of hope.. as you go along.. as your daughters grow older... they will seek you out... and your ex.. will not always have that "control"... and hold "steady" to the fact that you get to see them... and fight to see them more... it will keep you going... I too have sufferred from depression... and I know how hard it is...(((((gentle hugs))) if that is ok....

I understand. My ex-husband took my kids from me several years ago when I went into treatment to get help to deal with my childhood. He did it while I was there and out of state where we lived. I missed the last several years that they were in High School and Junior High. It broke my heart.

I understand waking up and they are not there. That lost and lonely feeling. But, they will figure out the truth eventually and come around. She cannot keep them from you forever. Just keep doing the right thing and give them everything you can. They will know that you really love them and in the end will know the truth.

Know that you are not alone, and that we are here to support and listen when you feel low. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
