Today, I got in a huge fight with my mom, so I went to my room and locked myself in there and played loud music so I didn't have to hear her. She then started yelling at me on Facebook, so I logged out of Facebook. She then started yelling at me on Yahoo. Damn technology. FML

Today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up from university, I took out my phone and pretended to talk to someone. I didn't think people still pointed and laughed, but apparently they do when your mom pulls up and shouts, "Stop pretending to talk to someone." FML

Why did a divorce stop you from knowing where your kid is

If the mom won custody then she doesn't have to let OP see the kid if she doesn't want to.

YDI! Take responsibility of your daughter! You have rights don't pretend like she was impossible to see.

Not everyone has rights to see their child. If the ex wife was this crazy to stalk him, she sounds like someone that wouldn't let him have say in anything.

And they what? Moved to Asia? You didn't know where your kid was? That is awesome parenting right there.

So.... You had no idea where yer daughter was? Why is that? Given the fact that yer ex was also apparently trying to find you, it sounds like you did some disappearing of your own.

Is your ex your daughters mother? Because, if so, YDI. She shouldn't need to track you down.. Even when the break up's nasty, you should be around to be a real Dad.

Why was she trying to track you down? Could it be because you haven’t paid child support? Yeah, there’s too much missing info here for me to pass judgement.
