I'm having a hard time saying the word "stepmother" or "stepmom", it's not something I ever thought I'd have.
Anyway, things have been going really well, we are talking every day via email. I brought up a bunch of "stuff" on my therapists' advice, just telling him how I felt and his response has been wonderful.
Basically what we are all doing right now is trying to build a relationship. We all (when I say all I mean my father, my mother, my brother and I) recognize that some mistakes were made, and some things could have been handled differently. My mother admits she had a hand in keeping him away from us, and he admits he could have tried harder to see us and didn't.
We're going to meet in May. And, then things will go from there I guess.
Anyway, in case you were interested, I have some pictures you can see.

I'm so glad that things have been going well!! I'm glad that your therapist is helping to guide you through this experience. I really hope this is the start of what will be a great relationship for you. ((Belle))

Tom, I'm curious! There any particular reason you thought he'd look like that?
BTW, got an email this morning, he has requested to serve some active duty here in the States, even though the Army hinted that they'd like him to go back to Iraq. He's asking to be assigned to Ft. McPherson (? hope that's right) near Atlanta so he can be closer to us. If he gets it approved, I may be weekend guest at Olivia's a few times.
That would be cool. Not just because I could see my father, but because it's an excellent excuse to go hang out with Olivia. Posts: 14428 | Registered: Aug 2001
