Some of the most painful situations for moms and children are the no-show dads.
I was visiting with a few moms and the children after church when one little girl said: "I wish I had a dad".
It just tore my heart out. Time, distance, and forgiveness had not significantly diminished the pain of emotional abuse of a parent who is unavailable for the over-fought custodial visitations time and time again.
Some of us are flexible with distractions. Sometimes we outright lie (Daddy had a flat tire) etc. Some of us enable the negligent parent with our apathy.
Send us your comments on how you cope and overcame. We'd like to encourage other women who become the firewall between dad and the children.
Hugs!
