I agree it’s very important not to villify the other parent but rather to encourage a comprehension of the other parent’s behavior (e.g., mental illness, substance abuse) while emphasizing to children that they are loved by the other parent, even if the love is not readily apparent.
Thanks again, Plank – you’re definitely one of the good ones and Hanna is so fortunate to have you as a dad.

I don't think we'll ever really find out, which is sad. She's too far gone right now. I mean, there's hope, but even thats a far reach. She's had a stroke recently too.

Thank you Cella. It's nothing any relatively sane person wouldn't do under the circumstances.
Good seeing you around again.
