A real relationship with my father is something I never had. There were definite problems with him, and problems that happened in my mother’s marriage to him, so when I was six years old they split. The divorce was final less than a year later. To this day we’re more like acquaintances. I last spoke with him on the phone for about ten minutes a few weeks ago, and before that last February, which was when I last saw him. There was actually a six year period when I didn’t hear from him or see him at all.
Believe me, each and every day I am not only thankful for a wonderful husband, who is my mate, my life partner, my best friend, but for having such a wonderful father for my daughter. They definitely have the father/daughter relationship I never had, and I am so thankful for what they have.
Alyssa is definitely a Daddy’s girl, and anyone who sees her with Dan instantly knows it!

My relationship with my dad was/is an ok one, but my daughters relationship with her father is non-existant. They’ve never even met and she’s almost four, which at this point it’s my full intention of keeping it that way until she can decide for herself what to do about him. I do wish that things were different, though.
That picture of Dan and Alyssa is adorable, they look like they have a really great relationship.
