SEPTEMBER has been a roller coaster, to say the least.

When the month started, I hadn't seen two of my daughters for weeks as their mother found herself in some trouble and checked herself and our children, without my consent, into a woman's shelter. Legally hamstrung, I devoted all my time into my business and saw some exciting growth.

A couple weeks later, busier than I've ever been in my life, the mother found her way into some trouble, landed in jail, signed over her rights to our kids to her mother and without her parental alienation campaign at full strength, I've been spending considerably more quality time with my kids. Then over this past weekend, I was in an accident and fractured my left humerus and dislocated my arm, severely limiting the time I can spend blogging or even performing my business duties.

I've been resting non-stop for the past few days and have had some time to reflect on all that's happened and my only regret right now is not being able to blog. Sometime over the last year, I became addicted, focused on publishing as much free, quality information as possible for fathers. Some of you have been invaluable supporters in this mission, and it is you I thank most and feel most indebted to.

I've decided to finish the current Personal Development series over two months instead of one or scrapping it altogether due to the fact it won't be completed this month. I'm slowly regaining some motion in my arm and when possible, I'll be writing new articles and brainstorming ways to make Dadviser even better for the end of the year.

Until then, I hope to see you all continue to make your lives better, so stop by now and then to let me know how things are going.
