'She's fine, she's safe, she's happy, and she loves you'. These words you can hear a thousand times, and never truly believe them.
I know it's hard to believe it because you don't know. I ask myself similar question and my child is only a 45-minute drive away.
I've chosen to stay near the area and advance my career, etc. since I didn't feel good about leaving the state, especially when my relationship with the mother hasn't been great even before the birth.
What you chose, you chose with a heavy heart. I hope you find solace.
At least now I know there are more "single dads" like us around.
Hey
Well done for sticking reasonably close by, sounds like you've had it tough for a while.
Thank you, and thanks for sharing some of your story too.
