State of constant confusion!

~~I wrote this to the mother of my children but since I don't know where she is I couldn't send it to her. So, I thought I'd just post it here in hopes that someone in this situation will see how much it hurts all involved and realize that what they are doing is wrong.~~

Living each day with this emptiness
Makes the night seem Oh, so long
I can't run away from this hole you left
In the middle of my heart
Can't you see what this is doing to me?
Or does it even bother you to see?
To keep a father from his children
What kind of person cam you be?
I did all I could when we were married
To keep our love alive
But I guess the past doesn't matter now
Since we've both moved on with our lives
But what about our children?
Have you considered how they feel?

Oh Jeffrey, it hurt to read this plea.  Well expressed, and I truly hope that she soon realizes that you have a right to love your children and be with them.

Take care,
Melissa~

Jeff, you have my deepest sympathies. There can be no greater sorrow then having your children taken away from you.  I hope that you will be able to be with them again soon.

It's good to see you posting...

Thanks to all of you for your support and encouragement. It is greatly appreciated. I have done all I know to do in trying to find her and my children; I will not give up my search until I do find them, but my options are wearing thin. Anyway, thanks again.

Mother's can be so cruel.  They think they are hurting their ex, but they're only hurting their children. (sigh)

My heartfelt condolances to you, Jeffrey.  Perhaps what may help you is her SS# and the Internet...  with those two things, you can (sometimes unfortunately) find out anything you need to about another.  Good luck to you.
