Daddy's Children Page

Welcome to My Children page.

I just want to start off saying the opinions on this page are mine (probably only mine) and should be read as is. There are no hidden statements or meanings included here.

Now to the children which are now not really children as they have all for the most part grown up to adults. Most of what I have to say about my 3 step-children is only a small part of what is going on in their life's. Since they are grown and I don't have much contact with them now.

Since I met Roxanna, Micheal and a few months later Nathan I have had a hard time adjusting my feelings to not influence their lives without their father. I at times had to bottle a lot of hatred and bitterness toward their father. I would have to say he is a sorry example of a human and male. Most of his problem is his obsession with possession, a thing some people have with owning the most toys. I for one do not want to come across as saying having toys is a bad thing but, when the toys come before your children thats another thing altogether. Holding back my feelings was a hard thing and I have learned to do this well when I need to. As they are all to aware of now their dad is a jerk to put it mildly. I hope I did the right thing and I think maybe they have more respect for me. I never thought all these years later that they would introduce me as their dad! I have to say I get a good feeling when this happens and feel sorry for their real dad. He has missed most of their growing up and becoming adults. I hope since they are grown now this won't have much to do with their course down the road of life.
Now Angela and Ricky are another story, both are my children and there is no mistake about that. They are very much of me I must say. You can see much of me in everything they are today. I haven't had problems but, my children have become less like family members and more like individuals. I understand they have grown up and such. I also see them less and less attached (if you will) to their siblings. I also see the time soon that they will be leaving to be on their own. I just hate to see any of my children not have the kind of bond between themselves families need. I am much to blame for this since I was not able to make a life with their mother after my were born. The three of us, Angela, Ricky and myself have been separated from the rest of the family since 1992. I am sorry for this but I have to think about tomorrow and not dwell on yesterday.

Roxanna was about two years old when I started dating her mother. She has always had this thing for looking just a little bit differently at things than most people. She may have gotten that from me, or maybe her father I don't know. She does have an different outlook on life as a whole. She is now 20 years old and out on her own. None of the family has had much contact with her for some years. She made a choice to live with an individual that more or less controlled her life. His control had a brainwashing affect on her. He told her that her family did not care about her since we could not contact her, our mail was intercepted, phone calls were listened in on and we could not visit her. She was more or less abducted and indoctrinated into a one man cult.

She has at this time (I hope) been able to escape from him and get her head screwed on straight. She has been living far away and may not been in contact with her former male friend. I for one surely hope this is the case. I do hope things are on the turn in her life now and I wish her luck, and love her very much. I think deep down inside maybe she never forgot how much we all love her. She has grown into a very beautiful young woman which needs to be free and live life without a mate old enough to be her grandfather.

Michael was about 6 months old when I started dating his mother. He has to be one of the toughest individuals I have ever met. When he was about one year old and at the same time Nathan was born, Michael was very sick. He probably does not remember and is better off if he don't (for the most part). He had a blood disorder called ITP (idiopathicthrombophysitopenea). Please forgive me if I misspelled this but, I for one can see why doctors call it ITP for short. It is as it name infers (idiopathic), a disorder from unknown origin, of the blood system. It causes the blood to lose its ability to clot and attack foreign matter in the bloodstream. It affects a very small amount of people and can cause death. That is not an ordeal for a weak person. It makes one very weak and sensitive to even the lightest touch, in the sense a touch could cause a bruise or hemorrhage under the skin. With a small cut a child could bleed to death. After being legally taken from us by the Oklahoma Dept. of Human Services, his mother and I were branded as child abusers. Later the day we took him to the hospital one of the nurses on staff discovered a small blood blister in Michael's armpit. This is when it was discovered he had ITP and was hospitalized. We spent 3 long weeks in the intensive care unit until he was able to return home.

He has never shown any signs of ITP since and is 19 years old. He has moved away from his mother and living with friends. He has a job and is making good money. He has grown into a handsome young man and the girls follow him around. He has curly blonde hair and the girls love it.

Mom was pregnant with Nathan when we started dating. Neither one of us know for about four months or so when she started to show and gain weight. I had been around small children and pregnant females but not this close all the time. Nathan is the proverbial middle child, and has voiced that fact many times. He was and has been in a hurry to do something. I wonder just what it is he is doing sometimes. The day he was born he didn't wait and he hates to now. About to turn 18 years he is now very much grown and another handsome young man. He has posed for a little modeling locally and can have several different looks. He can appear older and younger with a turn of the head. He again has no problem with female friends. He is very "cut" like his older brother (they get that from their father).

Nathan has had to endure a lot lately, he has not had a job or been in school. He is for the most part the most intelligent (IQ wise and common sense wise), I think of the older children. He has never had a problem with school work, it is the going part he has a problem with. And as for common sense he has not used much of that for a few years now. He has been in and out of trouble this last couple of years. He is as is his older brother a great artist and one day could be famous for it. Hard work and being in the right place is all he needs.

Angela has had and will always be my little "angel" as her name implies. She has been very strong and forgiving since we have moved in 1992. She is now a ninth grader in junior high and is quite a young lady herself. She is on the varsity girls basketball team an undefeated and dominating team of girls. She may even be nominated for basketball queen this year. She is a very social girl and has many friends. She made friends the first day she lived in our new home. She has seen many friends come and go these last 7 years (there are a lot of military families around). She is very interested in young men and has had a steady boyfriend for quite a long time now. Angela is 15 years old going on 21, she wants to be older so bad (if she only know). She was as much a tom-boy as a girl could be just a few years ago and is still not afraid to play. She can hold her own with most guys and not afraid of much. I see her in a few years as being one strong half of a marriage to (better be) strong male.

She has a very artistic head on her shoulders as her older siblings. She listens to many very different types of music. Watches very little television and talks more than her share on the phone. Angela makes me very proud as do all the children, but her being my first child will always have a special spot in my heart and life. After all I am her father and protector, I also am pretty strict with all the children. Their mother and I have always been this way due to so many crazy people in this world today.

Ricky is the only male in his branch of our family tree. He is and will probably be my only male offspring. If any person is ready for this he is. He is now a teenager and tough as nails. A few years ago he broke his right leg above his knee about 8 inches. He was as I say playing chicken with the curb. Needless to say neither moved and Ricky lost the battle. He was lucky and only had to stay in traction in the hospital for 3 weeks. Thats when the fun started and my little boy started to grow up in a hurry. Before this accident he was the baby of the family, after he was as I said tough as nails. This year he broke his pinky finger on his right hand while playing football and kept on playing. I think that was the first time I had seen him cry for about four years. He has been very good in school and in all the sports he has played in. Ricky was my only child to go to one school through grade school, he was one of only a handful of children in his school to do this. He is also a whiz in school and has very little time for many things other than his sports and school. He is about to make the big change into a young man and he as the older boys has no problem with attracting the opposite sex. He is popular to say the least and he was nominated for the 7th grade wrestling king this year. He likes to play games on their computer (Angela and Ricky share one I have my own). Watches many sports on television when he has time, he likes to go fishin' with grandpa. He has is the last few months become very interested in water craft riding and has been known to launch a rocket into the sky. I see him as a very strong individual and say the girls better look out because he is not just a pretty boy.

Ricky is an avid bicycle rider and loves to inline skate. I think it is about time for him to start learning how to work on cars. He will need it in the future, and all his girlfriends will want to ride with him. He is going to be quite a man very soon.
