that’s your fault not the kid’s
your job is to dedicate your life to being a father to that child
you figure it out, you make the sacrifices, you take your lumps. This must be a quest for you that you will not shrink from nor ever be deterred from completing
there is literally nothing else you should be doing with your life
good luck

If there's anything I learned through this, it's that you can't beat a rigged game. I hired four different attorneys over the years that all claimed that getting visitation would be no problem. None of them delivered on their promises.
If the mom doesn't want to let you see your kid, at best you'll be doing supervised visitation in a room for an hour every other weekend. How is that in the best interests of the kid?
People that act like family court isn't totally biased and that all you have to do to be in your child's life is put out a little effort really make me sick.
And btw, my daughter is 23 now. The damage is done and so am I.

Dear Beauxcefus,
Wish the same for you brother. Sounds like you've done pretty good for yourself. Happy for you!

Let's say that your ex tells you on the phone that the next time that you bring your child back, she is going to take them to the emergency room and have them checked out and try to imply that you did something inappropriate.
Do you continue to come get your child and let her try to accuse you of doing something hideous?
I don't think some of you have any idea how some females can be in situations like this. Lucky you.

yes, yes you do
default to the conviction that you WILL be that child’s father and take your beatings to make sure that happens
again, good luck I know how hard it can be
trust me
ETA your daughter may be an adult now but it’s not too late.
make it better, you can do it

Risk/reward told me to back off until my daughter was old enough to be a credible witness. Because there was no doubt in my mind that the mother was crazy and evil enough to follow through on the threat.
I wasn't about to go through what would follow an accusation like that. And, of course, by the time my daughter was older, the bond was broken and her mother convinced her that it was my choice not to be in her life more than I was.
There's 2,500 miles separating us now...and I'm totally okay with that. I held onto false hope long enough.

I wanted her to finally hear my side of all of this, now that she's an adult. But she made it pretty clear in our laat conversation that she has no interest in hearing it.
I have been going along with her mom's lies for her entire life...just to keep the peace and to continue to be able to see her.
Not going to lie, it totally crushed me when it finally seemed like the right time to tell her the truth and she basically said that she knew all of the facts and had no interest in hearing it.
When I make my final payment on her college tuition in October, I'm moving on with my life. This nightmare has been a major part of almost half ot it already.

If you’ve dutifully paid child support and other expenses despite all the drama, and your ex and daughter have continued to reject you, i say you’re justified. She’s an adult.

Yep. The man has paid his debts and it sounds like daughter has written him off without just cause. He needs to let time ease his daughter's pain and hopefully when she becomes a mom she will want to hear his side. Just sad sometimes when the dad gets written off for no reason.

I flunked out of college. Lost so many good opportunities to bad decisions. Ruined some good friendships. But when I met my wife, almost 30 years ago, and had my daughters, everything changed.
All I wanted for my younguns is that they were better than me, and they are. All of them.
It's hilarious when parents think having kids makes them special
ETA: All of your kids have weird shite they are ashamed of, probably brought on by your efforts raising them.

On a better note all 3 of my now grown adult children came over for lunch and brought me gifts. Best thing about my life is I raised three beautiful children that turned out to be great and wonderful people. Too all Dads it is easy to be a sperm donor but it takes alot of time, patience, and understanding to be a father. Happy Father's Day

Same here OP. Best decision ever.
