Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Yeah I've tried as hard as humanly possible to make things work. I reach out at least a few times a week but I get mixed responses most of the time
It's probably worth noting that the last time she seen her, I had to facilitate everything. She moved 10 hours away, with a guy who doesn't have a license. The guy had to pay his friend to come pick her up while I was at work. He's not working because he has "back problems" (we're all early 20s, he's fine) and he gets a government check
She says she regrets leaving and misses her etc, but her actions speak far louder than her words here. Thank you for your advice, it's greatly appreciated!
Great, well knowing that you’ve done everything that you possibly can, continue in prayer. Please follow my other advice. It will change your life, and the life of your daughter in a big way. Not only does she need you and her mother, she needs God, more than both of you. I know you may not understand that now, but God will be the one to get her through all her tough times now, and in the future. Be a godly father, and example of that to her. That will change both of your life forever.
We're a part of a really great little church. A close family friend teaches the Sunday school there, and once my daughter is potty trained completely, she's going to start attending!
I’m not sure if you saw this posted here, but it made me think of you

Perhaps this is one of the things that your wife is looking for. And effort! It seems to me you’re making one, and that makes a huge difference. Continue to press on making an effort. God will honor that.
