Well, let me tell you....at about 3 PM EST today my daughter called me and it was one of those conversations where you know something is "wrong". She didn't tell me initially what was the issue so I called my "ex"...urghhhhh! After about (2) minutes, all of a sudden, I had a problem. It was so ironic (not really, everything happens for a reason!) that you and I were talking about your upcoming camp for single parents. First of all, thank you for the generous ear as you skillfully guided me to the conclusion that...this wasn't "my problem" but, I could help with the solution. As you relayed, I called my ex and asked of few simple questions (thanks to you of course), then spoke with my daughter and then my son to determine how they were feeling about being spoken of as someone else's child in public. Bottom line is we came up with a great solution that all parties could live with and now life goes on :) Way to go Brother! Stay blessed!
