Today, the reality of the situation with my daughter, Grace, has struck home.
She is lost to me.
Her presence on Facebook is no more; nor that of the lying Rob Silverman.
She has believed the lies fed her by the family and, worse, acted badly.
I would expect most people to understand there are two sides to a story.
But, people are idiots.
The Fairclough's and the Gelfand's are.
As are some members of my own family.
Including, Grace herself.
Bad behaviour must always be challenged.
Never supported.
Whether it is the neighbours, friends or family.
Adults have a responsibility to children.
That responsibility demands truth, integrity and courage.
Otherwise, situations such as mine become more common.
Fathers without their Children.
Children without Fathers.
Changing the law NOW to give Fathers equal rights can not mend the broken hearts of the past.
But, it can stop pain and heartache in the future.
For me, the last 11 years have been a grieving.
My child is as lost to me as if she was dead.
Yet, there is no grave I can visit to mourn.
Acceptance of loss is now my goal.
Leaving Grace and the rest of the family to God and their own Karma.
May God grant you ALL you deserve.
