goodbye

as some of you know, things have really been tough for me lately. i am unemployed and my tumors have returned. when i returned from the va hospital today, i found out that i will no longer be in bryanna's and addie's life. this is not my choice. i'm sitting here looking at their gifts. anyway, this is the last picture i have of them

Oh, Sarge. I'm so sorry. Why won't you be able to see the girls anymore? Surely you have rights as a parent?

I take it that either you or they are moving away since the alternative would be that you fucked up.

No, no, no, no, no.
This is all wrong.

What happened Sarge? You adore those girls. You are such a positive influence in their lives. How on earth can a decision be made (in your absence?) that you can't see them?

If the answers are too personal for the main board then please explain via PM or email - when you are ready of course.

Surely this is something that can/ will be resolved?
I'm puzzled as to how it can involve both of them anyway.
But mostly - almost entirely - just heartbroken for you. I know your children (and those you have "adopted") mean the world to you. I can understand that this must hurt more than a kick in the nuts. With steel toe-caps.

You got Addie back once. Maybe you can again.
In the mean time I am hurting on your behalf.
I sent you a small package for Christmas. Something for Addie in there. Hope it doesn't hurt too much.
Unless Elizabeth is into Disney princesses...

Oh, Sarge, my heart goes out to you. Please, please stay in touch. I hope there's some possibility of fighting for continued contact with the girls. So sorry.

Don't we have any lawyers on this forum who can do something about this?

Sarge, that's not fair.

Adding my voice to the chorus ... how can that possibly be the case? You are so much the responsive and caring dad - how can you not have access to your kids? I really hope you can get some help sorting this out, once and for all.

I don't know enough about this to say confidently something useful.

I have questions, first among them, what the fuck?

But I do know that almost everything can be appealed. And I mean everything, from legal arguments issued by the courts to bullying threats from angry individuals. I sure wish I knew more. Until then, I'll just suffer in sadness with you Sarge. That's fucked up.

Good luck Sarge. Do everything you can to keep them in your life.
