hi how is your girl now , and the situtation of her blankie
I want what is best for my daughter and all my kids. I understand what you are saying.
I have offered mid week visits but Mother does not want them. She says she wants to get a job but has not found one in 2 1/2 half years. She gave the kids up. It was a bad situation. It was very stressful to live there ( the kids use to live with her) now it is fun time as there is no day to day stress only weekend fun. I think this is confusing at least.
I would still be married to her if she did not leave me for another man. I have moved on and re-married now. I could never do it without my new wife she is a God send.
I believe that children need both parents in their life and I sympathise with your daughters and their mom, it must be very hard, I dont see this as mannipulation at all ,I see it as simple emotional need./love is it possible for them to visit with her more, having a blankie and a teddy is their way of expressing they need their mom in their lives, I am touched she sprayed perfume so they could smell her ..Sometimes love comes before balance in my opinion .loosen up a bit and walk in their shoes ...
