Giving up

Today’s the day I give up.

As we come into the 6th year of my attempts to re-initiate contact through the courts I have come to realise there is no use.

I am talking a different language to your mother and feels like I am in a battle I don’t want to be in and your mothers anxiety kicks in so high that you are placed as shields.

The premise was simple, since we cannot communicate on a logical sense the laws of the land that protect you are what the court was supposed to achieve. Give you the right to have contact with both your parents.

We both (your mum and Dad) love you so much that we want to help you navigate life and make sure you are not alone.

I give up using the courts and will just wait.

I give up trying to communicate my wants and needs through your mother and courts because it’s like we are talking a different language.

Lack of communication is the real problem.

But I will never give up hope. I will never give up faith.

But this day hurts …. I tried calling your mother and on this day it is more obvious than ever that the last 6 years was wasted with no sense of responsibility.

I am not writing this to blame your mother on anything. I just want this to be noted and let you know that I will always be here for you and this method of courts has not helped. I will look for other ways.

I leave with one advice. Never lie. Trust in god. And don’t be fooled by stories without facts.

Connecting … I am always around

Dearest princess…..

Every time I think you, the word princess is what rolls off my tongue.

Today, I got a message from you. I am only assuming that you felt the need to get my attention and try and hurt me at the same time.

The old adage stands true “Hurt people, hurt people “

I am sorry you are hurting and only hope one day you will have the peace and courage to tell me all about what was going through your mind.

I take solice in knowing you still have my number. In knowing that you still want to connect.

I will stay wondering and will always think and one day ask….How did we get to this point in our relationship from a time in our relationship where we were inseparable

I love you now and always….

And….i will always be around to connect whenever and however you want.

I love you

Time passes by too fast when you are angry

My dearest sweetest boy. Another year passes by and I can’t hold you and see you as you grow a year older.

I hope you had a great birthday celebration, I hope you were reminded of all your strengths, I hope it left you thinking about the unlimited potential of all that you can be.

I know you and your sister always challenge me back confused why I keep trying to see you.

It’s a great question … I know in the beginning is part of me wanted to continue feeling joy and happiness like any father/parent does when surrounded by his children. We spent a good solid 10 years being part of each other’s lives, not easy to just drop it…especially if they were filled with joy, laughter and memories.

That is my selfish desire and you don’t owe me that or anything. I know I owe you everything.

So I think back always to your questions, “why bother..?”

I do it for you, I want to make sure you are setup for the future, for success. That means granting you financial support, emotional support and advice different perspective of advice for you to draw from and make your own decisions. Sharing my learnings and setting you up for an independent and informed free life.

After it, that’s why Allah created families and parents. You are but a child of god to be ushered into independence and adulthood by your birth parents.

I wish you a happy birthday and miss you every day.

Seeing how much you have changed and just the physical height excites me to want to know how you are with school and how are your social relationships in life and what are your aspirations.

I leave you with one advice…let go of the anger. It eats at your soul and you are ultimately the biggest loser in life.

I will always remember you as my sweet kind and soft spoken and sensitive boy

Just want to connect

6 years on and still just trying to connect is taxing.

We now have supervised visits for 1.5 hrs every Sunday for 14 weeks.

How did we get here? Who is to blame ? These are useless questions to answer because time moves faster than the answers we can get.

Why should we keep trying ? Is the better answer.

I love you Rome and I will keep trying.

This short clip video says all the things I am scared that will happen in your future.

I can’t change the past and only Allah controls and knows the future, but today (in the present time) I want to try everything and anything to make sure you always have me in your life in no matter what capacity I can have.
