My dad just got out of jail and is trying to get help and can't see me for two more months. I know that does not sound like a lot but when you have not seen him for 2 years it is truly a lot. I miss him and everytime I think of him I start to cry and run to the bathroom. One time I actually threw up. I need help. I go to a support group but it doesnt help. I am in need of help.

Thanks for answers but heres more what I found out. I found that he does care and is trying to come and see me as soon as possible. But he doen't have a cell phone or computer so we can't talk through that. Also i'm 12 and thinking about improtant stuff like whats going to happen in the future like my wedding or my graduation. Is he gonna be there? Can anyone give me advice?

This is just my personal opinion, but if I were you I would drop the support group. I know they are there to help people, but in my own experience I found that it only continued to remind of the reason that I joined it. I have multiple sclerosis & stayed so depressed about it until I dropped the group. I wasn't being reminded so much that I have it.
I can imagine how much you miss your dad, I've seen what you are going through in my own family with young relatives.
I don't want to tell you not to think about your dad because I know you love him very much. Just try to keep your mind occupied with other things. Stay busy doing things you enjoy. The 2 months will go by fast.

Your dad just got out of jail and you are excited to see him. However, your dad need a little bit of time for himself and gets things situate. Tell your mother to sign a permission slip for you to engage in counseling through school. It will help you open up and talks about your father.
Talk to your mother about how much you miss your dad. Perhaps, you can speak to your father daily on the phone, talks to him on the webcam.
Maybe your father can send you a picture through email or through cell phone. Be strong and hang in there. 2 months may seem long but count down the day will help.
good luck

Hi Sarah,
I don't what the law had limited for you to see your dad, but there are many ways you can be in touch with him. Get word to your dad to meet you on the computer with a cam. Send letters and recent photos of each other.
If the law says he is not to have any contact with you, get a third person to relay messages and photos. Most malls have photo shops you can take on your own. Have him to do the same as well, but let me also caution you on my suggestings.
I don't know the back ground of you situation. If they're reliable reasons (only you know) that you can't see your dad, you must really think this matter truly. Sometimes it is difficult for a person to know what is good for themselves.
God Bless and good luck.

Think of how much you can do to make it thru this day, by doing things for other people, be it helping around the house or helping someone with homework etc.
My daughters live out of state now and I understand about missing someone a lot that you love. You have to get involved with something else, or it will make you crazy.
My daughters are great, but email only does so much, so I do understand and sympathize with you.
Maybe befriend someone from your support group and do things with them?

Sweetie I feel sorry for you, but instead of saying "I can't see him for two months" try I get to see him in 60 days. 59 tomorrow, then 58. Before you know it he'll be right there in front of you and hopefully a better person from the experience.

Write to him, send him pictures, chat with him online, call him on the phone, you can voice chat with someone on Yahoo IM, e-mail him......If you stay busy two months will go by quickly :-)
