What advice would I give someone when facing my situation … Will I listen to my own advice?

My situation: left my house at 4 o’clock this morning to get to my daughter’s school at 7:30 to wish her a happy birthday, give her a hug and a gift. I let my ex know I would be there So my ex-wife chose to go in another entrance of the school so I could not.

I’m fuming mad, astonished, and amazed at how bitter and selfish and Vindictive my ex is.

What advice would I give someone else?
Don’t expect more of a person than who they’ve already shown you they are…
You can’t expect kindness from someone who repeatedly shows you are not capable of kindness…
Manage your expectations… don’t expect other people to behave like you think they should
You can’t focus on what somebody else does just make sure you do the right thing…
Don’t let her get to you she’s just trying to provoke you…
She has to live with her actions and she asked answer to God for them no matter how hard I try I can’t change who she is…

OK let me take my own advice and focus this energy on something positive

It is time to break the silence about su***de.

Su***de is at an all time high.
There is a Su***de Attempt every 13 seconds.
Su***de is the #2 killer of kids from 10-25 years old.
Divorced Dads are the most likely to choose su***de of any group.
After each/ 1 su***de, 25 others close to him will attempt or plain their own su***de.
3.5 million people a year plan their su***de.
12 million people right now are are consumed with thoughts of su***de.

It is time to face the truth. Su***de is a common. Ignoring su***de has not made it go away. Our current methods of stopping su***de using hotlines has not worked.

Will you help United Under God and Dads Matter implement a new/true preventative program in your organization. Our program focuses on those who are at the highest risk of su***de, Dads, at the even that is identified with leading to su***de, Divorce.

One of the most damaging parts of divorce is staying in the pain. It’s like sitting in an ant bed - it gets worse the longer you sit in it. It hurts but don’t let the ants consume you.
Don’t get stuck, it only makes the pain last longer and cause greater problems. Don’t think you can ignore the pain, it will keep biting. Don’t think you should be able to handle this yourself, people are built to need people, allow yourself to accept support. Letting other people help you doesn’t mean you are not a man, it means you are a smart man. Warriors don’t fight alone, they are part of an army who work together.

Dads, your kids love you and need you to be at your best. They need you to be hopeful, optimistic, and strong, encouraging and loving.

You may only have a little time together now so make it count. Devote every second to them and you will give them something to remember when they are away.

Focus on becoming what your kids need from you. They need you to be their hero, the example of what is possible for them.

The effects of divorce on dads and kids is a serious matter that needs to be addressed. Divorce is one of the leading core reasons for su***de. A divorced dad is the most susceptible of all people groups and a kid of divorce parents is 5x more likely to attempt su***de that a child of an intact family.

Dads Matter is working to coach Dads on their path to recovery. To help them find their new identity and purpose.

If you know any Dads that are dealing with any stage of divorce please check in on them frequently. Don't give advice, just be a friend to let them know they are not alone.

We are certified and available to help any Dad facing the disaster of divorce.
