It kind of all depends on why you haven`t spoke to your father in 15 years. If its something small, that really shouldn`t have kept y`all apart 15 years, then I say reach out, talk to him, but don`t have any real expectations about what may or may not happen, because if you do, you`ll probably be let down. Once you have done your part in reaching out, then you can say `you tried`, the ball is then in his court, and hopefully things will go good for y`all. If the reason y`all haven`t talked in 15 years,is something really serious, then you really need to stop and think if its worth it, that is ONLY up to you, and you alone.

Ive never once spoken to my father, I`ve wanted do...but I really don`t think he deserves to be apart of mine, or my daughter`s life. It all depends on your relationship with him, if it was rocky...then I`d say no, because you have a good life and a shitty person doesn`t deserve to be apart of it. If it was a good relationship while you did talk to him, then I`d say go for it.

I say go for it! No matter how it turns out, you did what you needed to do. Make an effort to reach out to him. I know for me, my father and I did not have a relationship growing up and in 2001, I reached out to him and things are steadily improving. It is going to take time, but again, you did your part! Also, congrats on your accomplishments! Best wishes on your journey! :-)

Only if you think this meeting will improve your life. Either through having him be an active part of your life, the encounter will give you closer, or you need to make contact to improve your mental health. Otherwise, it sounds like you have all you can ask for. Congrats on everything, it is far to rare that people can accomplish all of their life goals at such a young age :-)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
