After 6 weeks of not hearing from my kids and finally managing to reach them on the phone about 10 minutes ago. I found out that my youngest daughter had her first communion on Sunday.!!! NO ONE called to let me know. Today is the first contact I'd managed to have with them since February, and as I start work again in just over two weeks, I'm going to see them even less. I woke up in a good mood, and now I just feel like crap!

I'm sooo sorry uk.....I know that can be a very important thing that no called you about. I'm very sorry your family did this to you. My dad does it to me a lot so I know how you feel. I told him to call me last week so we could do dinner together and he never called.....You can only feel wanted so much and then you just tend to give up....I know how you feel SOOOO MUCH!!!

Try to get past any issues with your ex (if any) and be more pro-active in your kid's lives. You may feel intrusive or unwanted in the beginning, but your kids will learn from your frequent contact that you really do care about everything that happens in their lives and you want/expect to be a part of it. Being a pretty much everyday part of their lives, important events like the one you missed won't get past you.

Thanks guys. I've been divorced now since 2005. I found out that my ex had cheated on me with my ex best friend 2 years after I'd had a mild stroke. She always said and we agreed that there would be no problems with seeing the kids, but since she married him in September, the visits and calls have become less and less. I'm not going to let it get me down though. I'm going to keep on going and won't stop seeing them as much as I can.

I realize that the kids who are now 14, 12 and 10, will have their own interests. That's normal. It's just hard when I don't get to see them and do stuff with them every day.
