You begged me to have her but now you aren't in her life. What do I tell her when she asks about her Daddy? Drugs were more important than our family?

Admin: To the poster.. I'm sorry we didn't put your secret up earlier. I just wasn't sure it was a secret. Regardless, it's close enough and very touching. I wish you luck with your daughter.

I feel very sorry for your situation, as mine is similar she left us me being 34 and the children ages 1,2,4. dont worry it gets easier. just remember to take in stride and tell her the truth when you think she is mentally ready. (mine arent yet)

Drugs can make people behave as though they have no soul. The good news is, the effect is reversible once they give up the drugs.

i ended up being a single parent of two amazing kids because of their fathers addiction of 20yrs. i understand the whole addiction thing, but it still didnt pay his child support. hes clean and still doesnt pay child support, but he helps raise and support his wifes three kids.

Same situation here....She's way too young to understand that her (sperm donor of a) dad is in prison AGAIN. She's never asked and I am not "offering" the information. When the day comes she's asking and old enough to understand...I will tell her. "oh no sugar, your daddy is in prison. His drugs/alcohol and lifestyle kept him from being a responsible father. I didn't even know I was pregnant with you until a week after he moved in with his girlfriend." Ok so I might not used the girlfriend part until she is much older. But he turned that around and blamed ME of course.....since because of his behavior and how he was treating me, I told him to get his sorry ass out!!! We're all the better for not having a piece of dog crap like that in our lives anyways!!!

Yes she was going to have an abortion. And I knew in my heart that it would destroy us. In the end I did instead, my addiction tore our family apart. The ongoing battle with addiction is only worsened by the heartache of losing the only two people who really and truthfully meant the world to me.

If he is not in her life now due to drugs, ...be thankful! If he had stayed in her life, with his drugs, he would have surely ruined both of your lives. You will have a beautiful Daughter that will Love you unconditionally. What a great place to start off fresh. Tell her when you are both ready. God Bless You, And Good Luck!

Its so easy for people to judge from the outside in!Im not,in any kind of way,justifying the way im living right now.Our daughter was taken away,cause of our drug use!i can honestly say there were no drugs near our baby nor in the house.but thats another day.what i really want to say is that i love you both more than words can say.this shit is deep.without you and the baby i am nothing.id do anything to have you back ash.im not gonna give this up even though the cards are stacked against me!that beatiful baby girl of ours deserves the best and im gonna try my damndest to be the father iknow i can be.so im asking you for that chance?i got alot to prove but its nothing that i know i can do.i love you and tell our baby daddy loves her!at the end only two yhings really matter to a man,regardless of who he is,and they are the affection and understanding of his family. anything and everything else he createsis insubstantial!the most important thing a father can do for his children is love their mother!

You and your daughter will be better off without him in your life. If he had stayed, imagine how your and her life would be spent. Poverty and addiction go hand in hand. Hold your head up, love your child and move forward.

we all know drugs are an addiction. unforunately addictions always take presedence until they are overcome

Tell her that her father isn't there because he made some bad choices. Also, be glad that she is alive and that you are with her. I am not with my children because my husband chose to continue using after I went to treatment. Be strong for her and remember that you have each other. Protect her.

wah,wah,wah quit your crying and just get on with your life. It seemed like you didn't want her in the first place so who is the hypocrit here huh? I don't feel sorry for you, maybe you should put some effort into the father instead of posting this crap for people to feel sorry for you. Be proactive not reactive.

I know that life can be crule! If this where my child I would tell them that there father was drunk and stoned and died in a bad car crash. Thank god that no one else was hurt. After all if she is dead to him maby he should be dead to her. She should not half to think that she was not good enough to love and raise growing up is hard enough.
