RE: On the Run Flashbacks, Part 3: Stranded in Oregon and The Struggle to Escape

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed your writing, but it makes me a little sad. I have three kids, one grown and on her own, sorta of :). I can't imagine how I would feel, not seeing them, not knowing them, not simply being in their lives. May the Good Lord always keep you in the palm of His Hands.

Sort:  

There are certain duties required of parents and family....if they cannot hold those duties they're not worth having around because often times they directly bring issues into our lives. At that point, it's better to leave behind a toxic situation than to stick around for the sake of familiarity.

I understand, but it still makes me a little sad. Being a dad is the only thing I think I am really good at. I wish for you all God's love and His peace. And of course my friendship.:)

Just work on being the type of dad someone couldn't live without......consider it's within your childs right to leave you behind and be the type of parent they don't even consider abandoning.
