<BR>Am I right in assuming my H feels guilty about what he's doing and that's why he puts off seeing me and the kids?? The woman he's with more than likely doesn't encourage a relationship with his children. She has 2 children that I know of and they were taken from her years ago. From what I understand, she doesn't see them either. I don't want my kids to lose their father.

I just hope I can do this. I've never had a lot of patience. But I am doing a lot better. I know that's what it takes and I'll do anything to get him home!!!!

I've tried to put myself in his shoes and feel what he's feeling. I can't imagine it!!! I was only 20 when my oldest was born, but I decided right there that my children were my life. My family was the most important thing from then on. I'm glad to say that I have a very good relationship with all 3 of my sons. And I would never jeopardize that.
