The two 8-year-olds at the computers in front of me in our little internet cafe just had this conversation:
Little Girl: Don’t you ever get to see your other dad?
Little Boy: No, they got a divorce and the court says we can’t.
Sad how matter-of-fact they are about the subject. It’s become one of those things they talk about, like “Do you have a dog?” and “I’m gonna have a little brother soon.” Now we have “The court says my dad can’t see us any more.”
Boy can I talk about this one. I have a 10 year old daughter who lives with her mom. Her mom and I broke up before she found out she was pregnant and we just never got back together because things just weren’t working. To make a long story short it’s weird hearing her talk about her “other” daddy. I feel so bad about this - but I’m doing the best I can to be the best father I can be.
