Dear Jack ~
I totaly agree with all of the above! Karen couldn’t have said it better. You are a kind, strong, loving, decent, honorable man, and your kind are hard to find. Your kids will always remember all the great times with you & they will know how much you care & love them, so quit worrying so much! You are doing an awesome job, and like everyone has said, compared to a year ago, you are climbing to the top of the world Jack! We are all here if you need us, but I know you are going to be just fine being “Jack”. You have learned from your Dad, and that was his purpose, to teach you….how lucky your Mom & sister are to have you in their lives! I would be proud to have you as a son or son-in-law.

Smart men learn from others mistakes. You have choices. It is only when things are hard that you realize what you are truly made of, and you are made of the stronger more honorable stuff Jack.

and with your children, it is not the amount of time spent, it is the quality of the time you spend with them.

Take care, keep learning and loving and living, it gets better when you least expect it to.

The difference for you Jack above all other men who might look to a relationship for financial security, to ward off loneliness, or any other reason is kind of father you are and you really can’t compare yourself to your dad or anyone else. He was from a different time when fathers weren’t as involved and you truly get your kids as distinct individuals developing before your very eyes. Not every parent, mother or father gets that.

Any woman you chose to have a relationship will have to care about both you and your kids. Sure, you would like to have your kids with you more and having a woman to look after them while you were at work would make that more likely. However, from what I have come to know of you, you will be careful to make sure that she truly adores them and you as well. They don’t need more disruption if it doesn’t work out. Even if you can’t be with them all the time now, they have come to know that you are always there for them and they come first in your life.
Who is to say, their mother’s impending marriage will work out – she doesn’t have the world’s greatest track record when the going gets tough. You, on the other hand, have survived some of life’s ultimate tests and come through still kind, decent, and with your sense of humor still intact. And that you are a great dad makes you quite the catch.Give it time, you haven’t made it this far to settle and when you least expect it and aren’t looking for it, love will find you again and this time you come wrapped in a delightful package of three.

Jack,
You are a very strong and smart person and have endured a considerably amount of pain in the last 2 1/2 years. In due time, you will be able to switch your hours or obtain a new job to spend more time with your kids. Just think where you were at last year around this time and how life how things have improved.
I went thru a pretty nasty divorce over 18 years ago and to date I still rememberr the pain but I am currently married to a very loving and amazing husband and have been for over 10+ years. . There is hope….. have faith, a positive outlook and just remember to choose wisely. I never had a thought I would not marry again only that I would never again put up with the same crap!

Don’t worry Jack you won’t turn into your Dad because you know what you went through when you were a kid and you are not going to do that to your children. You are a wonderful father and just by what Lucy said to you so she could spend more time with you is a testament to that. I am a single mom raising my son all alone without any support from the father in anyway. I never remarried or got into another relationship because of fear and not wanting to let my son down again with some guy. Anyway Jack you are the Dad all kids want, my son has said to me I wish I had a dad like Jack. He’s 14 and I let him listen to the podcast occasionally so he knows what you are like.
You are very fortunate and your family is great to you and your kids.

Jack, you ARE NOT your father!!! You are a loving dad that just has funky hours at work, so your time with the kids is chopped up more… You do so much for them and are constantly showing them how much you love them and want to be with them!!! In today’s economic world, having a parent that is working a 9-5 job is rare… Yes, you are lucky to have a great Mom and sister to help you out, but as the children get older, they will see that your situation is just plain old different… Your efforts are clearly seen by anyone who knows you and your situation… You would NEVER let anyone seperate you from your darling kids and would do anything and everything to prove your love for them!!! You were so smitten with Sparkles, that you lost yourself in her and you are now like a butterfly emerging from it’s shell… You are strong, loving and intelligent and can stand on your own 2 feet, not having to stand with someone else to make you a whole person… We all would love the perfect job, hours and pay, but life just doesn’t go that way and we try and make the best choices to our own story… Keep it up, you are doing great!!!

Sorry about the fish, Jack.
The stories were interesting today, especially the one about the lady who kept her dead husband and sister with her in her house. Crazy, but interesting.
