Best Weekend EVAR!!!!!Follow

So this was a monumental weekend!

After waiting 11 years, and much anger, depression, etc, I saw my 11 year old daughter for the first time since she was two months old.

Crazy Baby Momma is Crazy Baby Momma, and it was all I could do to not shoot myself in the face listening to her talk for the last five days, but I got to take my daughter to the Zoo, the Audubon Society, the Pirate Festival, and finally to her first day of Middle School.

Unfortunately, I am sitting in the airport, trying not to cry into my beer, because it was the best weekend I have ever had, Crazy Baby Momma or no Crazy Baby Momma.

Not seeing my little girl for eleven years sounds like a horror I wouldn't want to live through. That would simultaneously be the best and worst weekend. Congratulations.

The aforementioned Pirate Festival.

She is the one on the far right:

You'd think there'd be some complaint over the historical inaccuracy of a chocobo riding pirate.

Your girl's cute. You're going to hate that in a few years. Smiley: laugh

Yes, it did a bit of both. My god, how did I ever date that woman? She even started an argument on the last day (one of many) so that I couldn't get pictures with me in them.

Don't really know the background story so probably a stupid question/already answered question elsewhere, but can't you fight for visitation rights or something?

So many times these.

Your reasons are your own and I won't question them, but the grave is the only thing that would keep me from my daughter for that long.

Good for you for getting back in touch and not just walking away.

Most of that time has been spent tracking them down. Once I found them, it was a matter of keeping crazy baby momma from pulling another vanishing act, so the last year or so has been a very trying process.

Believe me when I say that not a day has gone by that I didn't want to be in her life, and I did all that I could to get here, and I did it in a way that will hopefully not be traumatizing to her.

There is more to the story, but it is one I am very tired of thinking about.

As someone who grew/is growing up without a father I bet I know just how much that meant to her.

Keep it up.

Aren't there laws that are supposed to prevent that? Not to mention consequences for the parent taking the child and disappearing?

You'd be surprised how useless many laws regarding children and non-present parents are.

Doubly so when it's the father who's being excluded. The laws, and more importantly the application of the laws, are horribly skewed towards providing the mother with whatever she wants. If she wants the father involved in the child's life, the law will help her track him down and get money from him if nothing else. But if she actively chooses to avoid the father and exclude him from the child's life, the father has very very few legal options.

I feel sorry for any guy who's in this sort of situation, and wish you the best of luck.

I rated you up for putting into words what I was thinking, and have had to deal with for the last 11 years.

Wow, I rated up Gbaaji...Will wonders never cease!

Actually, in my experience, they're @#%^ed on both sides. They really do little to help out either parent, regardless of gender so long as the child is actually ok.

No they won't. The laws state that they will, but they really won't do much. They'll withhold government cheques, they'll request employers garnish wages, but they won't actually enforce anything.
