About Letters To My Daughter

Letters To My Daughter comes from a need to have a connection to my children who have moved eight hundred miles away to live with their dad after a six year drawn out exhausting and expensive court battle for custody. In this huge shift in my relationship to my kids there is very little private communication and openness between us. My ex, being the narcissist that he is, monitors all communication. Despite what our current legal agreement says about it. These letters are a way to show my children what I was feeling as this all transformed our lives. It is also meant to answer their questions and shine light on why it all ended like it did.

There are two parts to Letters To My Daughter. The first part being letters I am writing currently to document what it is like to live on this side in the aftermath of something our family feared happening for so long. The reality and grief of our worst case scenario. The second part being the chronicles of the past to fill in all the holes as to why we landed where we are today.

The overall purpose for sharing such an intimate window into our lives is to help others who might be going through similar experiences in life or just loss in general. There will be more shared than just facts and feelings. There is much to be said about loss and how grief can overtake a life. There is much to grieve and so many ways to do it. This is mine. Let me light the way for you. Let me be the lamplighter. My hope is that in reading this you won't feel alone and maybe I won't either.
