Missed you today!

Dear Hailey,

     I came home today to get the rest of my  things. Truth be told I was surprised to see Mommy and our friend Wendy there. I thought she wasn't going to be there when I was for a while so we could avoid a fight. I had Papa come over to help me get the couches, but Mommy decided it was a good idea to start trouble again. She tried to demand that I pay a couple of bills and I told her that I wasn't going to because they were in her name.I was not trying to hurt Mommy because I have paid everything else that I said I would and these bills were very small, not even totaling $50. I will have paid $700 towards bills when it is all done.
      Mommy got really mad at me and then went to scream at Papa and I thought that was rude. I know she hurt his feelings and I felt bad because I didn't want to put him in the middle of that. Just like I don't want you to be in the middle of that.
      At this time I thought you were in your bed taking a nap, but you weren't even there. As I was getting ready to leave, I asked Mommy where you were and she wouldn't tell me. Its my job to protect you and know you are safe at all times and when she didn't tell me I got very mad.
Hailey, Mommy is going to try to say that I haven't been there for you or don't care about you. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE!
     The truth is I have been busy trying to secure a place for myself and making plans for us should Mommy and me get back together. I know that I haven't seen you or heard from you in a couple of days, but from this time forward because of the way your Mother is acting, I am afraid of not being able to see you very much or if we get a divorce having bad things happen to me.I know you were at Court and Janelle's house earlier today at about 630, but haven't heard about you since. I sent Mommy a text message saying that I wanted to know where you are at all times and now I mean it.
     I have been too relaxed and foolish about this whole situation with your Mother and now she is playing hardball. I need to protect myself from legal action and ALWAYS put you first.
I promise things will get better soon.  I hope you understand that is very difficult for me and I'm sure for your mom as well.

Love,
Daddy
