I haven't seen or spoken to her since she was 12. So, I've missed many parts of her life. I also send cards at each holiday and believe she probably never gets them. I don't know where you are, but I'm in New York state, USA.

The last time I tried to even send them a present the mother had the police calling me for "harassment". I spent over $30,000 in legal costs and thousands in child support but the courts do not care.

As a father to understand my history with my daugher I have to journey into my own past, and see what happened to me as a child. Many parents dont want to accept that a child only turns against a parent if the child feels hurt.

I didn't hear much from him and he never seems to be able to remember the exact date of my birth although I am his only child. Now that I am 28 he has started threatening my grandmother to give him information about me and harassing her because I will not return his letters.

I last saw them in November 2006 (they are now aged 11 and 8) because my relationship with their mother broke down and she refuses to allow me any contact with them. I send letters, birthday cards and Christmas cards but I know they never receive them as their mother likely destroys them on arrival. <BR/><BR/>Now their mother is claiming these letters Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
