Just have to put it out there somewhere. No need to reply. This is more for me.

I'm 50. It's been 3 years. My two daughters are 23 and 20, and out of state for college. I divorced her, and her family. Leaving me and my Dad. My world shrunk immensely. I moved out of state for work, leaving behind the small friend group I had built up over decades.

Now, my ex grabs my daughters' calendars and blocks up time with them, and I get the leftovers. A hand full of days to hang out, unless I go to them, which I try to do regularly.

If I don't reach out, I don't hear much from them.

I'm invisible, really.

What a weird existence. If you call it that, I guess.

Maybe it will get better over time? I hope so. But, what if it doesn't? Is this all that's left of the next 30 years? Wow.
