After the Divorce, Bullet holes through my eyes. #rebuilddad #divorceddads #parentalaliation

They hated me so much they turned my photo into a shooting range target with bullet holes and fake blood dripping down my eyes. And just when you think you've hit rock bottom, the universe tests you again. Triangulation, alienation, lies sharp enough to cut away all your friends, your extended family, and even your own kids. I know, it happened to me. I'll never forget my eldest telling my sister, with a smirk eyebrow raise that her mom's family hated me so much they turned my photo into a shooting range target with bullet holes and fake blood dripping down my eyes. That was just pure evil. And I thought, what the fuck? How could she twist things so bad? How could she turn my kids against me? And all I ever did, well, and still do, is love and provide for them. And you know what triggered it? I started dating again after 3 and a half years of separation. That's it. That's all it took. The moment I choose to move forward, the moment I stopped pretending that the marriage still exists, the full force of alienation came crashing down.
