Thank you Strat.
I am thankful to have one of my sons this weekend. The younger. He won't say happy Father's Day because his mom isn't here to make sure he does.
Days like this can be hard. I had basically left my ex for a different women. I left my two boys behind. I really can't believe I did that. My own actions hurt beyond measure sometimes. I'm happy I no longer live with a hoarding negative Nancy, but I really miss my boys. My oldest son hardly ever comes over. Even this Father's Day weekend.
It can be sooo depressing. I can barely stand it. Some days I just let the tears roll in hopes of getting it out. Or I'll journal in hopes of letting depressing thoughts reside somewhere other then in my head.
Days like today are especially difficult. I am a loser of a father. I feel as though I don't deserve to have a happy Father's Day. I should be punished and have a lonely, sad day.
Those thoughts are self destructive and self fulfilling though. I may have been a loser of a father, but that does NOT mean I AM a loser father. I obviously love my boys dearly and believe I do a good job of letting them know that.

Hey. Happy Father's Day to all. I drove my daughter to the Minneapolis yesterday and spent the whole day with her. I was finally able to get her to IKEA and get her the bunk bed she wanted ( 8 yrs old ) I got it all put together, with my wife's help. It was so great to have that experience and to be all in. Before, I would have had all kinds of excuses not to do that. Very grateful to be sitting with my wife and kids this morning, not hungover and sober!
