I saw the reportage in Aktuellt (Swedish Television 4th of Feb 07, publ.not.), this evening and was very moved and angry. I always get angry when reminded of my so called father. I am so terribly upset and disappointed and have been so during my whole life - since he has never been in my life, never showed any interest in what IÂ've done or am doing in this life. Never questioned how I am or what IÂ'm doing in my sparetime. What I like and dislike, and so on.

Today, if heÂ's still alive - he is an old man. He can sit in the elders house in his diapers with nicotine coloured fingers. I donÂ't care!

You remind me of how I feel sometimes, angry and hateful. Sometimes I really hate my father, and it feels so good to write it. I wish he wasnÂ't my father! IÂ'm so ashamed of him! But sometimes I think IÂ'd care if he died, I always wish he would love me.

Hello,
I saw an interview on the "pappa"-evening on Swedish tele recently and just wonder if Lost Daughters United is only dealing with girls and women who have been left and more or less ignored by their fathers (which is a shame) or if you also take into account girls and women who have been separated from their fathers by mothers who have decided that their children should not have any more contact with their fathers just because of their anger and with NO serious reason like violence or abuse or misuse of drugs or alcohol?
I am in that terrible situation right now that I want to see my daughters, but their mother does not want them to see me though the girls would love to.
Not all men are the same and not everytime fathers just abandon their children. There are a lot out there who desperatly try to see their daughters. I will never give up fighting for them, because I donÂ't want them to have to join your network. Though it is good that you are there to help others.
