I got some pretty terrible news last night. I don’t even know how to deal with it. My teen daughter’s father is dying. He has a blood clot and could go at any time. That is all the info his family is giving me. He’s in Portland and I’m in Miami. My daughter has never met him in person (except for when she was a baby). He had a major drug problem until she was about 10 years old (she’s 17 now). They emailed back and forth for about a year and then she lost interest. He eventually relapsed a couple of years ago and that’s about the jist of what I know. I have to tell her but I have no info and she can’t even talk to him on the phone if she wanted to. I’m not sure why, that’s just what I’m being told. 😣😣😣 I’m also so freakin sick I have almost no voice at all so I can’t even call his mother to get any info. My mom has been going back and forth for me through email.

So sorry to hear that. I think you probably have to tell her too.

I would suggest that you tell her exactly what you told us. I didn't know my father either (didn't meet him until 2010), just had baby pictures so I knew he met me. She is young, but likely more mature than you realize.

Your daughter still has her voice (I presume); once you tell her what you know can she not ask questions over the phone? I understand your hesitation but she needs to know as soon as possible and decide for herself if she wants to inquire.

I will be thinking about and praying for you and your daughter, and her father and his family, through this emotional time.

Thank you guys. I told her this morning. She is really upset and confused and doesn’t know what to say or think. It takes her time to process things. There is a lot of hurt there. He never made the effort to really be part of her life. Although she knows why (mental health and drug problems); it still hurts. I always thought he’d get his life together and they’d eventually meet. My heart is beyond broken for my baby. The thought of her not seeing her father until he is in a casket is killing me

Blessing to you and your dear daughter

Thank you so much for all your kind words. It means a lot to me ❤️ I found out that he is in federal custody. That is why he can’t use a phone and his vitals are holding steady so they are moving him to Virginia. Seems dangerous for someone with a clot right bellow his heart

Hopefully he will be okay with the move and will be able to get the care he needs. Hang in there Dawnie. <3
