A father asks questions about being excluded from his daughters’ life.
The answer to each question is a resounding NO!

I just want my baby girl back.
I was there when she was born.
I was there changing diapers and feeding her, getting up in the middle of the night with her to let her mom sleep.
I taught her to ride a bike, to tie her shoes, to climb trees.
I took her to her first day of school, I volunteered in her classes, I cooked her dinner, picked out clothes, washed those clothes and taught her how to fold them.
I did homework with her, read stories to her, ticked her in each night and kissed her good night.
We sold lemonade together on the street corner and I sold Girl Scout cookies with her on the side walk at the store.
I took her to gymnastics, and to soccer and watched all her games.
I combed her her hair, we did our nails together and watched movies together over and over and over.
Her mother and I have separated. I went from a stay home dad and her primary re model to a visitor who requires supervised visitation?
Now it’s in her best interest that I’m no longer around? Because her mother and I separated?
Now, I suddenly only get 4 days a month with my baby and my every move and spoken word to her needs to be monitored, recorded, reviewed and critiqued?
I am only a father so I am disposable?
Only required if and when the mother deems I am needed?
I can’t sleep at night, I can’t function during the day, what is she thinking? That I don’t live her or care about her anymore?
That her daddy has abandoned her?
I can’t keep paying for these supervised visits.
Am I to just fade away and disappear?
I just want my baby girl back.
