Thanks everybody for commenting.

Rob nailed it... "fighting... losing battle from the start." I guess if blame were to be placed on myself being made homeless then I would have to be the blame. Simply because I did know I was fighting a losing battle. But I couldn't stop. To my kids I represented hope I didn't have it in my heart to take that hope away from them regardless of the outcome.

One thing that kept me going was hoping that someone else would step forward and help... that never happened.

Some friends I had before the ugly court thing I no longer call friends. How can anybody watch a child's future being so blatantly destroyed and not lift a finger to help? Sometimes I just don't understand human nature. Maybe that is why I am so much more comfortable with Mother Nature.

Wow. That is a horrible series of events. I hope things begin to turn around for you. At least you will always know you did everything you could and literally gave up everything to try and help your kids. We all like to think we’d be able to do something as courageous but when it comes down to it, I bet not a lot of people are willing to become homeless fighting what seemed to be a losing battle from the start.

I’m so sorry about the way things turned out. You absolutely did the right thing eventho it brought you to the brink financially. I don’t think you could have lived with yourself if you hadn’t. I’ve heard many stories similar to this from mostly men, but from women too. It’s so unfair. Good for you for putting up the good fight. You’re a very good dad for making the effort to help your kids.

Denny,
Everytime you bring this story up I get so pissed off at the “Laws”, or “The Judicial System” and get so burned up because I was there when you were going through trying to get your kids back and doing the right thing by them. Sometimes the laws are ignorant or the “So Called Professionals” they turn a blind side to the whole situation just so they don’t actually have to do the job their getting paid for. It’s a sad situation with the results you were trying to prevent from happening. I saw how you were with your kids. I know the whole situation you, and they, were in. The “System” was dead wrong on their decision. You and I both know that but what is a person to do. I give you credit for doing what you did knowing you would probably lose everything you’ve ever worked for. But, it was for a good cause. Your kids know deep down what you tried to do for them, they know how deeply you care about them. I think they will realize some day exactly what you tried to do for them and spend more time with you than the ex could ever imagine. Sorry about the long comment, I just had to say something about this.
Hang in there Buddy!

Denny – so sorry to hear that this has happened to you and your children. We don’t understand why but we have to go on living and make the best of it. Please be safe and take care of yourself.

Thanks Morgan… I done all that I could do… at least that is what I convinced myself after almost a year of being homeless. When a person looses everything in pursuit of doing the right thing then I believe that qualifies as doing all that you can.

Maybe I’m still trying to convince myself…

Anyway, good to see you.
