| Every waking moment I'm thinking about her. |
 My daughter is at the babysitter's right now, while I'm at work trying to earn enough money to help us "get by". I miss her more than I ever thought I could miss a person. Of course her going through separation anxiety and the thought that one day soon daddy is going to take her away from me doesn't help. You know, if he at least answered my phone calls or let me talk to her while he has her, I'd consider one overnight, but I don't even get a courtesy return phone call from him when he has her for his 10-14 hour visitation times. And just the same, I've told him to call anytime he wanted to talk to her, and of course he hasn't. He can't be a daddy two days a week and forget about her the rest of the days!
I found a great article online about how bad overnight visitations are for young infants. I hope Keara's Daddy learns that it's not all about him and his wants, it's about Keara's best interests. |

| Just stay focused on why you are working. For your little one! And as far as her dad is concerned, they are all the same. He will faze out real soon. It is great that he's playing a role now in her life, but it probably won't last no matter how much he says he isn't going anywhere. His only control over you is not picking up the phone when you call. He thinks he wins if he can make you upset. Don't let him. If she's in no harm, let it go for now. Still make the attempts, but don't get mad. It won't do any good. Just give her all the love she needs and you will be the best in her eyes. Good Luck! |

I'm sorry to hear about what's going on. We have the opposite problem in our family. My step-daughters mom rarely tells her that her father (my husband) has called, and he does almost everyday until he calls her back. It's really sad. We were supposed to have her all summer and then her mom said it was too long ( she's 7 yrs old) and when we brought her, she spent the week at her step-grandparents because her mom works. I work from home, and my husband took his newest job so that we could spend more time with her.
I don't know if you'd like to start working from home or moving toward that direction, but I know a lot of ladies in the company I work for who supplemented their income after 2 years so that they work from home permanently now. If you're interested, here's my website:
