Making Progress

Like most separated dad's I've found myself in a situation where I didn't have any access to my daughter Rahnia. Rahnia is only 3 and my greatest fear is that, if my ex's plans come to fruition, I will never see her again and she will not remember me; that she may also be told negative things about me that just aren't true. Things stay around on the internet forever so I decided to leave this blog as a legacy for my daughter and as an encouragement to desperate fathers in my situation. If Rahnia finds this when she is older she will know that I didn't leave her, that I love her and think of her every day.

I fought very hard in court and have 2 out of 3 weekends access to Rahnia. I have now won 2 battles in court 1) to keep my ex from fulfilling her promise to relocate back to Africa to deny me access to my child and 2) to have her back in my life.

The next battle is to stop my ex-wife from assaulting Rahnia when she is "naughty". In Australia, contrary to UN mandates, if my ex-wife continues to assault my daughter when my daughter is "naughty", it's OK! If I, against my principles, were to assault my ex-wife when she abducts my child, blackmails me and cuts down her work hours to legally extort money from me; I can go to prison for a very long time. Resolve this inequity; children are MORE vulnerable than women and not LESS.

I have been very involved with Rahnia's upbringing, being Rahnia's primary caregiver for most of her life, whilst working full time and I miss that role very much. I AM a super dad!

Good job it is low sugar ;)

Playdough

Don't start my new job until Monday, don't have a lot of money, and Rahnia found her playdough toys. Unfortunately there was no playdough left. I can't really afford to buy playdough so we made some. Rahnia really enjoyed the 'making' part of the playdough as much as she enjoyed playing with it after.

Missing you

As it gets closer to Christmas I miss you more and more. I know I will see you soon and that makes me happy and relieved that no one will ever be able to stop me from seeing you again. I love you Rahnia.

Going to see you soon

Daddy was very excited today. He found out that he will see you very soon because some very important people are going to make some very important decisions that will mean he can see you before Christmas. That would be the best Christmas present I could possibly want.

Coffee

Daddy and Thanh Ha went for coffee. We both love you and miss you very much and can't wait to see you again.

Daddy is at the airport

Daddy is off to see Thanh Ha again. We all miss you and love you very much. Sometimes in life things change and there is nothing you can do about this. I will see you again and I do love you so very much. I haven't forgotten about you and I never will. I'm counting the days until I see you again. Daddy loves you so very much.
