After 53 Broken Promises, My Daughter Finally Gave Up on Her Father

Synopsis

My eight-year-old daughter Sophie recorded every promise her father broke in a journal called Dad and Me. The soccer game he missed. The birthday breakfast he forgot. The empty seat he promised he would fill. For years, Arthur always had a reason. Until the day Sophie reached page fifty-three. That night, she closed her journal and wrote the words I never thought I would see: I don't believe Dad anymore. I had spent years waiting for my husband to choose our family. But after my daughter stopped waiting, I knew I couldn't stay either.
