[QUOTE="Daddywayhaar, post: 718640, member: 22252"] Thanks folks for the advise and you are correct they both are tax paying citizens good at their jobs. I am being selfish I admit trying to push my way into their adult lives when I wasn't really there for them as children. We played all the time when they were little but once teen years hit I literally froze, had no idea how to associate with them, especially in this day of social media and instant access to everything. I love it but did not grow up with it. My daughter is making up stories about her childhood getting pity from the, lack of a better word, lower income type folk she lives with (sorry if sounds wrong I mean no offense) and sometimes they call my wife. She however, whom is also adopted and never found her birth family, easily puts that down as she is a social worker and victims advocate. I hate to say this about my son but he is and always has been a d*ck. To his siblings also. Best way to describe. One comment was about attachment and thank you I honestly forgot about the attachment therapy we went thru until my son brought it up in our last conversation ripping on it how he hated it and it didn't work. I agree with the logic they may need you as adults down the road, but because my 2 little ones are here still I have elected to cut them out my life right now. I cannot take my daughters lies with these, the only people ever to believe them therefore she's latched to them people (she's tried for years with multiple people, just a coincidence this boy came along her senior year booted out of another school half way thru). And I can't stand my sons arrogance just unbelievable. Maybe next year we can reconnect but my sole goal this present is my wife's happiness and the success of my last two children. Thank for everyone's advise I truly appreciated it much!!! [/QUOTE]
