To all those Fathers like me, who are estranged from their children, my heart goes out to you. Nothing lasts forever, so live in hope that one day you will form a part of their lives & have many happy Fathers Day together.

Um...”live in hope that some day?” .... ya, keep on daydreaming. It will never happen. If you want it you gotta go out to your children, reach out and insist ..you want to participate in their lives. Just living and hoping (in your head) will not magically make it happen
@SW-User what makes you think I haven’t tried. I regularly contact them with little to no response. Please do not assume I am sitting on my hands waiting for them

Contact, how? @DaveE54 They probably have no interest in you by now....means you must not have been there or good to them from birth? I do not assume just out of thin air. There are millions of you...like this, like my own father. Whining...now. On the other hand there are these other dads...that have always been there through changing every diaper and holding every bottle etc etc. They don’t have this “estranged” problem. If there is nothing in your power you could do now, then, please, contact God...He can change it for you.

@DaveE54 FIVE kids...and no messages??? And you are telling me to please not assume? Please.....
@SW-User dont take your frustrations of your own father out on him. You don't even know the full story. There are also plenty of women out there that make it as difficult as hell for dads in splits.

I am not taking out anything on anyone @Primnproper Just saying how it is. FIVE kids.... I think the full story is there and super clear. Anyway. I am done here
@SW-User actually no you're making assumptions which is not cool without details. Its rude. Try having a neutral view till you know for sure, its a wonderful thing.
