Best of Dear Abby: My kids were told I abandon them decades ago ... that’s not true

DEAR ABBY: After 40 years, I just started talking to my daughter again. I explained why I hadn’t been in her life, which was not at all what her father had told her. He told her I abandoned her and her brother and wanted nothing more to do with them -- this is NOT TRUE. Those kids were my life. Now, she can’t understand why her father lied to them all these years.
