A few Long Distance Parents Speak Up
The Daily Breeze, a Los Angeles area newspaper, published a story about virtual visitation this morning. I had the opportunity to speak to the report as did two other long distance parents.
Consider this your long distance parenting information buffet. Long distance parenting is such a vast topic. There are three or more people involved, court cases, and situation specifics. All moving through months and years together. It’s not a read once and done kind of thing. It’s an experience you live that changes as time goes on.

The posts in this section are sometimes specific to a particular situation and sometimes about general long distance parent related stuff.
