Being there for my kids is hard. All but one,which is my youngest,live with there mothers,or in my eldest case, in another state with her daughter. My middle child lives about fifteen to twenty minutes away, my other lives about an hour.
I admit that I've always tried to do my best for my kids,I truly have, but sometimes my hardest just isn't enough. I fear that sometimes my children resent me for the things that I've done in the past.
I hope that my children love me. Because,even though I show them in different ways,I love them too. Without my children I would be nothing. My life and all of my sacrifices would mean nothing to anyone else. My kids are my life.

Hi tech7inc, Being a good father is often difficult after a family break up. It's easy to tell that you love your kids and want the best for them. Sometimes kids do resent parents for things they did in the past but most get over it later. Let them know that you do care about them. Blessings.

My kids are my life too, I'm sure that no matter what you have done in the past if you truly love your kids and have show them this then they will love you in return. My oldest son resented me after my wife left. SHe had some major problems and I had the courts take away her privilages to see the kids. He has gotten over it now that he is old enough to realize why it had to be done, and respects me for the hard decisions I had to make for him and his brother.

I know it must be hard on you to live apart from your kids...Soemtimes I beleive any parent does question if they can do or do enough for their children..i believe this is just a normal feeling and question you have...Just always be there for your kids and make sure they know even though you might be far apart your always close in heart...Thats all you can do as a parent is to just love them and be there for them...I am sure they know how much you love them...Just love them back and don't worrie about it...I know how you feel my kids are my life too...:)
