My life is pretty easy right now. My wife and kids own my life though. Nothing I would not do for them.
How often do you get to see your kid (s). Did the wife take you in court. Is that the reason why you don't want to work.
Bitter divorces can be bitter
This much I can tell you; without exception, everyone in court at our divorce and custody assignment proceedings was impressed at our selflessness and dedication to seeing our daughter get the very best possible opportunity for a head start in life.
My ex and I remain friends and communicate regularly.
My daughter has gone on to be student of the year at her elite school in Africa and was instantly accepted at an elite boarding academy in the South of England, where she'll be attending starting this fall.
Her goal is a scholarship at Oxford and no one who has met her doubts she'll reach it.
My parents imbued me with truly awful parenting instincts. I could not give her kind of opportunity she deserved here, in part because Colorado is 47th in the 50 States for school funding.
Instead of being cursed with middle class mediocrity, she's gotten the kind of education and home life children of royalty have told her straight to her face they're jealous of. It's true I don't see her much. It's worth it because it's not about me.
If there's one thing that's squared away in my life, it's my daughter's future. Whatever else happens is a bonus.
I'd do anything for her, including walk into a running turbofan. So you see, you and I do have something in common.
