Oh Lord

Okay ladies,

 

My daughter's father who I haven't seen in 6 years.....Yes 6 years will be here in California on Friday. He is coming to see my daughter's dance recital..I am having a complete anxiety attack because we haven't even talked in 6 years. we have been communicating since February of this year, but it hasn't been all that great. I am completely angry with him, which is to be expected, but i am also afraid.

I don't know what I'll say or do when I see him. My emotions are so freakin out of wack right now that I could explode. I want to keep a cool face for my daughter because this is a big deal for her. I don't want to blow it over my own ex-girlfreind issues. He seems like he is really sorry for being such a dead beat dad for the past 6 years. He has even spoken with my mom and apologized for all of his irresponsible behavior.

 I don't know ladies I guess when you count someone out and they just pop back up what can you do???

Pray for me girls, I need it so much right now......

 

Thanks

My mom went through similar issues with my father when I was little. I think the best job you can do in this situation is let your daughter decide the relationship she wants with him. Your issues with him should only effect you and him and their relationship needs to be what he makes of it. I hope that he can step up and be there for her, but sometimes they don't come through and you have to be there for her if he let's her down too. I know it's only the first meeting and this is a big deal but there is so much to think about and I totally understand your concerns. Just take a deep breath!

All you can do is just try to stay postive and hope for the best. Hopefully things will turn out to be OK.
