My love and influence were dimmed by 70%. It's a shame when this happens to good dads or moms.
This Father's Day I will recommit to being the best father I can be. I will strengthen my relationship with my kids whenever possible.
My recovery focused on a lot of supportive activities and rituals. The Al-anon meetings provided a healthy and spiritual community for me to stay connected. My Al-anon sponsor continued to show up in my life as a guide and cheerleader.
I can offer hope and ideas for navigating the most difficult co-parent behaviors. Divorce is hard on everyone, please don't use your former partner as a target for your rage and frustration.
