Paul I understand how you feel as I am being branded a threat to. Which is absurd, yeah as a relationship between me and the mum it wasn’t exactly a compatible match , but this never affected how I am with Kiera or how Kiera is with me. It breaks my heart when she asks why she has to leave so soon. And the supervisor says nothing.
I also requested the session reports and was told they are only done from Dec2012 onwards … So she could lie about August to December which frightens me as I will have no real proof.

Hi,

After 4 years of hell and heartache with my ex partner for the sake of staying in my babys life , it has come to the point I have to see my daughter once a week for an hour in a contact centre which was due for review after 6weeks, that was in August.This is all over a mother that has consistently lied and had me arrested on numerous occasions over ‘alleged’ domestic violence.I would never hit a woman.
Now social services are involved and are making my life difficult. At every session my daughter tells me constantly she loves me,misses me and wants to come and stay with me, it is obvious we have a very strong bond , but yet due to my own apparent emotional blackmail I can not have access for longer or unsupervised.
The reason being the following: 1- I promised that when daddy sorted his flat (after living in rooms after the break up) Kiera could stay.
2- I promised to go to my daughters first nativity play ( I did,and walked 9 miles to do so)
3- I wrote a letter from replying to the one we sent ( at the end I put daddy said be patient ,he loves you and everything will sort itself )
On the 8th feb 2013 this is due for review again and I’m praying they see sense, I am a working man and have my own accommodation. Ironically it was me that taught Kiera to crawl,walk and talk she even nos her left and right fluently through when I taught her road safety. Most her development has been through my input.
Social services say she has started misbehaving and has insecurities , when I put forth I believe it to be that she misses her dad the response I get is we don’t think this is why.
My baby is my world and when I ask who’s her best mate she says you are daddy. This is what keeps me going I will not give up.

I am a father who was made to go through the pain of not seeing my daughter, me and my ex split up when my Daughter was 3 years old, my only crime was falling out of love with my ex wife, she saw to it that I did not see my daughter as much as I Liked, I am a Musician in a band and I even wrote a song about it, I feel this tune is empowering for all the Dad’s out there, listen to the words and you will agree here is the song: http://www.reverbnation.com/jamessmedley/song/15791832-first-half-hour-©-2009

I would like to rise an issue of devorced father and his right to abopt. My husband is a divoted parent and we managed 6 years of shared parenting of his daughter. all these years her mother abused me and loaded the child with disrespectful messages about me, my son and her father. by the age of 13 she did not want to do anything with us. she is 14 now and she lives with her mother. we always tried for a baby and finaly decived to adopt. my step daughter was inteviewed and our adoption process has been now stoped. i appeciate the social workers involved with adoption may not be experienced with how difficult is to deal with a child if yhier mother is possesive and jeasous. she left my husband to drink and party. we nurced that neglected child when she was too young to join her mothr. now havevyo watch her facebook pictures with a bottle in her hand and her mother smiling. My a drunken abusive mother has more rights than a mature respectful man

Do not be angry.Carrinv for a child requires strengths and confidence. when we are depressed and full of anger we intend yo load others with our frustration. some times these others could be our kids. tou are not a danger foryour kid. See it as a temporary break anf use it to get stronger. so you can give your baby good time when ready. some days. even when we have children we have to focus on ourselves. exactly because we want to give them our best. take care

I have not seen my son now for 2 years, It really breaks my heart and has destroyed my life. I was his main carer and was involved in his school lfe and everything, Cafcass told me not to tell my son I loved him or even talk in any way about school, if i did my contact session was cut. I feel humiliated and debased and have been treated as if im a threat to my son. I have been off work now for some time over the depresssion of it all. I dont know what to do, but I feel so angry that my own countries appaling biased laws have prevented me seeing my son. I love him with all my heart.

DSir/Madam,

I have just seen your advert for fathers to interview on your website, i would love this oppurtunity to be able to let people know where i stand and let them know there are fathers out there that do wish to be a pat o their childs life.

I havent seen my daughter in 6 months and counting,before that it was inconsitant contact. She lives 5 minutes from me, i have had the police call to say stop harrasing my ex partner for turning up 3 days in a row wanting to see my daughter, ive tried mediation the second time i tried for mediation it was declined by the mother of my daughter, ive tried the solicitors but on my wage is far too expensive as i am sure you know which however i do not qualify for legal aid!.

Im struggling for avenues to go down, she has offered contact centre but yet again i cannot afford this as she wants the £100 plus sessions for one hour suppervised with a full report and its around £150 to join the centre its extausion at its finest!If i had that kind of money i wouldnt even hesitate to pay it! We tried using mutual friends for a few weeks which the mother of y daughter didnt like, I have asked to use my daughters grandmother and grandfather as a mutual point of contact for visits etc but the reply was “why should they waste their time, F*** off”

I will be putting some papers in the courts soon to represent myelf but its depressing me and effecting my life, my work, my family and friends. Im not a horrible man i just want to be a part of bringing up my beautiful daughter.

If You choose not to ask me to participate then if there is any advice you could offer would be greatfully appreaciated

Kind regards
