Ok my story is not of the norm, so I really hate having to take this class. here's my story - I got married when I first moved back to Ohio when I was 18 to my 17 year old girlfriend 66on June 16th, 2006. We had a daughter 3 months prior to this. Well she left me 2 days after we got married and went back to Florida. I saw my daughter once when she was 6 months old. After that the circumstances hasnt allowed me to see or speak with her. She is 3 years old now. And her mother has moved her from state to state. Her Mother and I do correspond through email about her, but thats as far as it will ever go.

I have lived in CT now for 2 1/2 years with my girlfriend of 3 years and our 1.5 year old daughter. (we had known each other since we were 13/14 yrs old, and kept in contact even when we lived in seperate states. We were only friends up until July 2006, then we started speaking again on the phone. Then in August we got together, and moved in with eachother.

Anyways Im a great father to my daughter that I see everyday. If I was able to be in my other daughters life, I would. But honestly I do not want to confuse or hurt her by only seeing her once a year, and talking occassionally on the phone.

This class will be a waste of time for both me and my soon to be ex spouse. (the reason why we havnt gotten the divorce till now is because of the costs).
The child hasnt seen me since she was 6 months old, she has never actually "SEEN" me and her mother together, and she has no idea we are married. So what will this class do for me?
