can you help him?
what does he need?
he needs a father, not a book reading baby-sitter.
yes you can.
use your mind and your heart. it's different than it ever should have been.  but different isn't wrong.
use what you have. there is a vein of wealth inside you just waiting to be mined. think differently than you have ever thought before. worker harder than you ever thought you could. love these children like they've never been loved before.
the answer lies within. quit worrying about how these misguided events have torn your life apart. quit dwelling on all of your misgivings. look around you. you're not alone. but you, and you alone, will make the difference.
