You sure got that right, my friend, you sure got that right.......I had a great 10 years with my little daughter, loved her to pieces, taught her everything I could, she could name all parts of my Vette engine at age 3, no kidding, we did everything together, everything, I gave her all the time I could possibly give, always got down to her level, but never spoiled her..taught her to ride bikes, sled, roller skate, hold snakes, plant gardens, took her to the playground every time durning the summer, bowling with me.....long rides in the Vette with the tops off, caving, fishing, out in the boat in the bay, you name it....she's 33 years old now, her mother finally got her away from me when she was 10, and now my daughter will not have anything to do with me.....I last saw her on March 19, 1999.......her mother is tickled pink that she used our daughter as a weapon against me. I only found out through Internet search that she's married and has three children....I wasn't invited to her wedding, nor in anyway notified that I had three grandchildern. She's a very successful photographer in Texas now, and guess who taught her how to take pictures??? It was very, very brutal, I could say more, but this is starting to hurt....I will say I payed a tremedous amount of child support for 18 straight years and never missed a payment...on the last year I could get my daughter, I had to drive every other weekend from Alexandria, Va. to Appomatox, Va. to pice her up and return her and only for Friday to Sunday....total time on Friday in travel: 11 hours round trip.....total time to return her: 11 hours round trip. so that really cut into my time with my little girl.......my ex thought by moving away that far I wouldn't go through that much trouble but I proved her wrong.....was she ever surprized.....so she got all my visitation taken away from me by, ah, hell, enough...my ex, on numerous times, refused to let me see my daughter on my court ordered visitation days.....I proved this in court and you know what that jerk judge said to me? "You want me to put the mother of your child in jail?" Of course, she always made sure my little daughter was sitting there right beside her.....I've said enough, but it was just beyond brutal for me, for years on end.....my ex got away with murder......worst kangaroo court in the nation. Man, this subject really gets me going, and not for the good....but just to share a little with you, as you seem to have been subject to the same crime as I was....sorry for the rant....now I'm pissed off...take care.
