[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 757871, member: 4040"] I was in a similar situation with Miss KT and her father. He moved, several times, and was generally absent her entire growing up years. Miss KT, now 28, has just about had enough of her father and his efforts at contact, even though he makes the attempt now that she is an adult. Even though it is heartbreaking to see the kids cry for (and about) their absent parent, my advice is to let Mar know that you wish things were different, but you don't know why her mom does what she does. Don't lie to Mar, and don't contact your daughter saying Mar misses her. Your daughter needs to give a damn, and right now she doesn't seem to. During one of my conversations with Miss KT, she thanked me for not lying to her about her father as she was growing up. She said she knew she could count on me, even though we had our moments. Be that honest person, that rock, for Mar. [/QUOTE]
