Mourning

My summer was turned upside down when My Princess called me from her dad’s house in Utah to tell me that she plans on staying there to finish high school. I did not agree to her plan. I felt horrible. Summer was ruined, because my daughter is my whole life! She is my only focus, the reason why I do anything…

The day that she was supposed to fly home, she didn’t. Her dad didn’t even take her to the airport. He told me that he could not physically put her on the plane and he wouldn’t make her.

It turned into a legal battle.

The police department there would not enforce the law that protects custodial parents from the other parent keeping their kids, all because she is sixteen. I guess Utah law enforcement officers think that sixteen is the new eighteen!

In the end, my attorney and I put together an agreement for a year. The first day of school came and she wasn’t here… I’m still in shock. I’m just so hurt.

In a matter of two months my life has changed drastically and I know that it’s not going to be the way it was ever again.
