What is the most difficult thing you have ever done?

That is a right (or left for ya) statement/wish. Because there really are a lot of people that feeds of their wits for such a long time so that they do not need any extra effort to compete until a point they realize they have missed an entire life chance to do greater things that they realize they should have done back then. I'm not sure frank is one of those people though, only a person can know herself/himself if she/he fits.
 
Two of my daughters lived with their mother when they were 9 and 5 (3 years ago)I got remarried and was still HEAVILY involved in their life.

Well my ex got mixed up in drugs (I didn't know) and while the 9 year old was at school DCFS and the police raided the home and removed her boyfriend in cuffs and searched the home while they made my 5 year old watch her younger sibling (not mine) while another showed them where all the drugs and firearms where.

Here is the hardest part for me. They removed the children from the home on a Monday afternoon and placed my 9 & 5 year old (along with the two other younger siblings who are not mine) in protective care. Against DCFS regs I was allowed to see them Tuesday night for about 15 minutes. During that 15 minutes my daughters literally begged and sobbed for me to take them home and I had to leave them there. We had to pry them off of us and walk out on them and drive away. I was able to go back and get them and take them home the next night.

But leaving my young kids there and listening them cry out "no daddy! Why!!??" Is the single hardest thing I have ever done. It's not even close. I'm not a cryer, at all, but I sobbed and sobbed. Have tears even typing this. I will never forget or forgive for that. It's been 3 years and if I am ever even by that part of town my now 8 year old goes into a full on panic.
 
This is the kind of thread I love about the Jazzfanz Community, and the reason I still stick around to exchange thoughts.

Got married to a girl with a 1 y.o. while still in college and was promptly laid off from my job 2 weeks later. So I had a brand new wife, a baby and no $. **** sucked.

Heart-wrenching to read. No doubt in my mind how good of a father you are.

Damn, I got a little misty myself reading that.
 
Happened recently. Wife is preggers, in first trimester. She called me and told me that she was experiencing some bleeding. So naturally we're freaking out. It's our first pregnancy and neither of us know much. It's stopped bleeding, but we still don't know if our baby is ok or not. We'll find out today. I bawled when she called me though.
