what a total disaster
after the death of my first daughter i brought up my other daughter till she was five years old as a single dad,the mother was american and i we were never married ,so when my daughter was 5 years old and could go to school she snatched her and the was nothing i could do about it ,my ex got married and changed my daughters name ,america is a big place and just having a first name to go on for my daughter it was worse than looking for a needle in a haystack 5000 miles away
but anyway year after year i kept plugging away plugging away sending emails and after 12 long years by pure fluke i sent an email to the wrong adress and the people who got the email asked around and some one knew her
to cut a along story short after going to america lots of times and my daughter coming here to the UK
we had the family re union yesterday
my sister and my 25 year old son ,got drunk and totally ruined it
my daughter said i never want to see those horrible people again
damn i am so glad i dont drink ..would it of hurt them to just stay sober for one day ..it meant so much to me
years and years i had dreamed of that day ..its all ruined

I'm so sorry your day was ruined by the selfishness of others. Sending you big hugs. :ghug3 I wish I could be there in person to give you a hug but a cyber hug will have to do. Again, I'm sorry your day was ruined. (((hugs))) for you.

we are getting on great
it was heartbreaking at first ,i of course had all the memories of bringing her up but she could not remember me at all
she told me she is really proud of her new sober dad though

At least it was them she didn't want to see again. So glad to hear that she notices and is proud of her new sober dad...that's the most important thing of all...that the two of you get to reconnect. Good job of staying clean thru all of this.

Boy,baldjim, doesn't that just figure? Sorry to hear that, but you DID manage to find her. Just nurture your newfound relationship & things should be fine. A more controlled enviroment next time would be my suggestion..........

whats the bear bones Jim.
you and you daughter re-united.......lovely.
sometimes we cant control how everything goes....
imagine trying to deal with all that ... if you were still drinking...!
funny how god likes to shift the chess pieces around sometimes.
you were a drunk with a lost daughter.....now your not a drunk with a daughter in touch.
i dont believe in coincidences.............enjoy it.
