You know what real love is? It's a teenage boy crying in front of his fellow football players because his father shows up to surprise him. This is what family is all about.

I've been split with my wife for 5 months after a nightmare of a marriage... but she took our toddler son to the boonies and I've only seen him twice, for an hour each, in 5 months. The last time was over a month ago. The custody battle is vicious and taking forever. I miss him sooo soooo much. I just find myself watching endless strings of videos like this. I'm a 6'3", 240 lb man reduced to a bumbling mess of emotions.

thats sad. dont know how far the 'boonies' are for you but its very important you establish a set visitation time as often as you can (keep a record) for the courts to see you are serious about bonding with your son. also keep a record of the times the mother refused you visitation & reasons. an hour seems ridiculous esp. if you have to travel so i would try to extend that. it may be hard but you have to 'olay nice' with the mother in the meantime to gain more access. also i hope you're paying child support & by check (records) dont give up. kids do need a good father.

It's not just the service member that we owe a huge amount of gratitude, but the wives who raise the kids and run the household solo, and the kids spend a great part of their lives growing up with a parent at sea, deployed, etc. This kids emotions speak volumes. Thanks to those who serve, and to their families for both supporting them and allowing them to do so.
