Getting access to your kids (51)
Misty1773: thank you Fred...unfortunately that is the point he is at. He cant or wont see past this and see that life has to go on. There will come time, as with you, when he will be with his kids again, so ending it all wont help them.
Im so glad you have a relationship with your daughter now, as for the rest, hopefully they will come around too...good luck

Thanks Misty - I'm fine now, it's been a very long time! But I do feel for this guy, having been through it 20 - odd years back myself. He's going to need some support for a while yet, and some good friends. I was fortunate that I had several great friends who helped me see the way ahead. Sounds like you are helping there, good for you! Tell him to hang in there - his kids will eventually need him, so he has to look after himself. Won't do anyone any good by him taking himself out of the picture. Keep up the good work -
blondeozichick: glad to hear you didn't end it all
Thanks Blondeozichick - You're gorgeous too!
blondeozichick: is there any support groups he can join? a group with people in similar situations as him? even if he goes and has counselling, it could help him deal with his loss and grief
hey blonde!! i have suggested counselling, now its up to him. There isnt much support for him in our town but there is a dads in destress group in a nearby town.
I cant do much more atm because he has now secluded himself from his friends...MEN!!!! well not all men..

Drats - and me too old, and too far away!!!
Lissen- just a bit of philosophy here - when I was going through my times of trouble, a few good friends got me through. Some have since passed on - some remain as valued friends - I can't repay them in any way for their support of years ago - EXCEPT - to do my very little bit in return, helping support others in similar distress. Hope he gets through, as I did. It's worth the effort.

The day his children no longer saw there father he was no longer there father. The only thing other than food and comfort, good advice etc any father or mother really has to offer is there example as a person. They day that stopped was the day the children lost one parent.
