I had a pretty terrible Father's Day weekend. Friday while driving back to my apartment from work I got in to a car wreck. I was rear ended pretty good by this girl. My truck is drivable but her car wasnt. Saturday I went to get something to eat before I went to see Batman and I had a grand mal seizure and was taken to the hospital. They kept me over night and have no idea why it happened. They still dont. I've never had anything like that happen to me and I'm pretty freaked out. I called Sunday to tell my mom what happened and she didnt even act like it was a big deal. Nor did she tell me Happy Fathers Day. I was supposed to have my kids this weekend but my ex decided that she was going to move back to Houston last weekend. She didnt give me any type of warning so that I could have bought a ticket to go home and see them. I've only seen my kids twice in the last 8 months and its driving me nuts. Yesterday was just incredibly depressing. The only bright spot is my girlfriend who is incredibly supportive and is the only person that offered to come up here and stay with me. I know I said some things not too long ago about her that were not very flattering but I think I was just trying to work out my feelings for her. Its scary to commit again to someone and I really want to with her. She is absolutely amazing and treats me better than I could ever imagine. I hope that eventually I can give her everything that she wants. I just wish life could get back to something that resembles normal. My Kids Me and my girl at Vic and Anthony's last weekend
Thanks, they are awesome. That pic was in my backyard the weekend before last. I bought them this really cool slide for christmas and they on sitting on top of it. Today is better. I got a lot of sleep yesterday and I'm feeling better. My head is still a little sore because I hit it on a table when I passed out but other than that I feel ok. I thought I was feeling ok before that too though. I dont know, its all just really weird. Everything will be much better when I can just go home (to Houston).
MB: Sorry to hear about that. However, you did get to see them a couple of weeks ago. As for me? I've given up on the holidays with my son. It's not a battle worth fighting over, IMO. I just let the ex have him on the holiday, and I see him that month and do the celebrating then. (although father's day isn't going to happen with me, yet. He's still too young to understand everything)
MB, Hang in there, and your kids are adorable!! JV, Just thought I'd take a moment to tell everyone what a wonderful father you are to Lydia! Have a great day
happy belated father's day everyone! this thread has lots of ups and downs, wow. Hang in there dads. Love the pics of the kids. here's my oldest, oskar here's the little one, learning to ski last x-mas. his name is hugo
Stop it! They'll start saying I'm soft! Yesterday was my first Father's Day. And it was very nice. It's weird having a new holiday.
Happy Father's Day! (belated) 11 years ago, I hooked up with my gal. 9 years ago I married her. 5 years ago we had our daughter. I don't drink. Don't smoke. Don't cuss (much). I've never used or abused illegal drugs (never even tried 'em). I go to bed and wake up early (usually). I work hard at a stable and providing job. I've never raised a hand at wife or child. I've never called them names out of anger. I spend every day of my life trying to be a better husband, a better father, and a better man. .. and my back hurts.
Hey Gary: How old is Hugo?? We put our eldest on boards last winter. One time, He'd just turned three. Loved it...but too young (and fearless) for me to set him free. He'll do lessons next year!
