Just some of the things I need to get off my chest.
Daughter has been missing 32 years
Published on November 3, 2007 By mschleisner In WinCustomize Talk
This may not interest most but this is a true story. I have been searching for my missing daughter for 32 years. She was parentally kidnapped by her father, my boyfriend back in 1975. I have found her and she is healthy, married and living in Delaware. I live in Florida but that doesn't stop us from phone calls and emails. You just can't imagine what it's like to know your child is out there, get no help from the system, no help but hope when a T.V. show calls and acts like they are interested in doing a story only to never hear anything. That happened years ago. I finally found her after posting a letter to the Military website. Someone who knew my boyfriend and I at the time contacted me and told me where to look. He wanted no involvement directly but did point me in the right direction. Now after looking for 32 years we are in contact with one another. This is great and having the chance to talk and share information is wonderful. She knew information about me but very little was shared with her. She said she knew the family put me through hell and wouldn't give her much info during the years but had hoped I would find her someday. She now knows she has a half sister and brother, I have been blessed with two grandkids from her and she knows I have a grandchild with my other daughter. It is a new day, new year, new chapter in my life. If you have ever had a life like mine you would write a book, as many of my friends have told me to do. I however like my happy life and don't think I would like to put all my life in a book to be looked at. I would like to tell everyone that if you think you need to find someone to set the record straight or just fix a hole in your life, don't give up, keep trying. I did and now my life is going in another direction again and this time I have more to look forward too. Life is fun and now even a new day makes me smile knowing I can call or email her and say "Hi" I am thinking of you today. It's just great.

I am so thrilled for you and understand fully what you have been through. I went through a messy split in 1986 and my ex wife twisted the kids and I have not seen my three sons for twenty odd years now...no contact or anything. I guess what upsets me most is regardless of how we felt about each other I would never have done the same to her. I still accord her the gratitude of being their mother and the respect that goes with it. I do not understand why she needed to act so cruelly and....contrary to the family courts....men have just as much of an attachment and need for their children as women do. You have given some great news here!

I am pleased for your news and the great outcome for you and your family, it's gold.

Although the circumstance for my wife and I were/are different, we've recently & happily been brought back into contact with our daughter after she ran away from home a couple of years ago.



And as a mum I can honestly say its greatest feeling ever to have your child back in your life again....I wish you well this Christmas, it is going to be perfect for you and complete.

Thanks for the support, and to those still looking for someone, DO NOT GIVE UP. They may not want to talk now but they will in time. Time seems to be the thing we can afford if we are healthy. I know sometimes it seems like a lost cause but trust me, it never is. If you are trying to keep in touch with your kids and are a broken family, I know how hard that can be. Grown kids still need to know you care, even if they act like they don't. Deep inside they feel that connection when you keep trying.
