Ehhh, I still can't get over my parents divorce.  My mother had custody and tried to keep me away from my father.
Wow , that is something most people don't really get over, I think. That was kind of selfish of her, in my opinion. 
Well she might be doing it for my own good.  There was a reason she was awarded full child custody.  BUt that was years ago, and I want to see if he's changed since then.
If you are old enough , then I don't see why you can't make up your own mind, if you have all the facts.
I would like to know why he didn't even try for full child custody.  One of the isues is that I don't know where he is and he hasn't kept in touch.
