If he has continued to make promises to you and then breaks them. STOP believing him. When he tells you that he is going to take you fishing for the weekend or that he is going to take you to disneyland don't count on it. Just take it with a grain of salt. That way if it never happens you are not left hanging and if it does happen, then that is wonderful enjoy it. I know that is probably a lot eaiser to say then it is to do...but if you expect nothing then you won't be disapointed when you get it. Besides he is the one missing out in the first place. He is the one passing up an awsome opportunity to get to know his daughters. And even though he might not realize what he is passing up, he will when he realizes you are all grown up and he doesn't even know you.

I would be curious to know what his side of the story is. Is the reason the medical insurance expired was because he had the insurance through his employer and got laid off? With today's national economy, finding another job in any industry is a difficult task, if not impossible. Is he behind on the child support because he hasn't found a job and his funds are depleted? The date of the original post is Mar 2002 and he let the insurance run out in Oct 2001, that's 5 months. If he did lose his job and is 3 months behind in support, he paid 2 months without the same income he once had. Now, does this scenario pardon him from calling or seeing his daughters, or course not. There's no excuse for such behavior. He's probably ashamed of his position in life right now, but he should SUCK IT UP and be a father!
