Amanda is my world, so to speak. She is not my daughter, per se, but my girlfriend's daughter. We've been together for three years. I see Amanda as my own though, and care and love her as though we share the same blood.

True fathering is not the physical act of planting a seed, it is the conscious decision to tend and nourish the seedling. Real fathering is not biological-it is the conscious choice to build an unconditional and unbreakable connection to another human being. Once that choice is made, it cannot be unmade.

She started dating a boy back in February. Two months into the relationship they had sex. She was 15 at the time. Need I say more?

I completely lost it with her when I found out. My world had ended. I felt like this little girl I adore and love so much was violated and forced to grow up much faster than she should. I tried being a parent to her because she said that's what she wanted. Now she doesn't want to have anything to do with me. She can't see past her nose and all she cares about is this boy. She said she doesn't love me anymore. I know she said this out of spite and to be hurtful. It worked.
