I hated it, and I've hated not seeing them or having any contact with them for most of that time. But they recently sought me out online so all is not lost.
The worst part for me is listening to them and learning what they hope and fear, knowing that it's my responsibility to be there to help them through it but all I can do is be a face and voice on the other side of the world.

How long ago was it that you parted ways, if it's not too personal?
A little over a decade.
That's a long time without seeing one's children. I'm glad they sought you out, it means they do care to keep in touch, even if it's been a while.
