Hi Everyone,
Thought I'd say a quick hello, I should have thought about finding a site like this some time ago now. It's been just over 3 months (which have seemed like an eternity) since my ex left me (half an hour after returning from spending 3 days shooting a wedding in Cornwall), and to cap it all off my Father died just over 3 weeks ago now. We have a beautiful (biased I know) soon to be 4 year old daughter, I thought I'd have a look for somewhere like this after just experiencing I guess what a lot of Fathers on here go through, the giving out of christmas cards at a child's birthday party where I was seemingly non-existent and was forgotten about. I guess perhaps it's partly down to the women in relationships doing the writing of cards and they all seem to stick together. I'm not looking forwards to Christmas at all at the moment for the first year ever, especially having so much on my plate and 'little things' like that seem to set me off. Anyway, enough of my rant, good to see that there's somewhere for us to unload and discuss things ^-^
Thanks,
Dom
Hi Dom
Welcome to Dadtalk and please feel free to rant whenever - there are people here that will have gone through what you have experienced and will be able to offer you the voice of their on experiences.
Times like Xmas are hard, and this is the first one since your split and loss so you will feel it this year.
Are you planning to see your daughter over the festive period? or is she with you still - you never said.
Remember she still needs her dad and you need to focus on her, once Xmas is over then regroup and decide what the future should hold.
You are amongst friends here so please stay in touch and have as good a Christmas as possible.
SM
