When I first lost my daughter it was devastating. She was only 1 and she was going to remember me is all I could think. I remember telling myself every day it wasn’t real or it was just a phase and my kid's mother would grow out of it. I was wrong. Took me about 3 months to realize I had to get my stuff together and go to court. 

The court's proceedings were grueling, at first it seemed like the judge was siding with lies and half-truths. Other times it felt like I just couldn’t do enough to please the court and I was just jumping through hoops. All in all. it took about a year and some change to see real progress. My first visit after a year and 6 months was on Thursday, April 27th. 2023. I’ve now had a total of 15 visits, one a week and I can safely say that I realized that despite what most people will tell you, fathers do have a say and a voice and we are heard.

Hi, my name is Gerrard and I'm a father of  2 boys 7 and 8 years old. the first time I lost them it was devastating, felt hurtful and lost. Since DCF was involved, it gave me the opportunity to them and the courts that they belong in my care with confidence.. so I had to complete some courses and I was promised that I would get them back home with me. I learned from the courses and put them to good use when I completed them. One year later DCF decided they would be okay to come home. It was a little weird at first but I was jumping for joy. I don't ever want to be out of their lives ever again. It's hard to be a single father of 2 children but it's possible because I know I have my brothers, coaches, guidance, and god on my side. It's wonderful to have my children by my side.

It's been 2042 days since I've seen my daughter... It's been 2042 days since I lost that piece of my soul.. Some people assumed I was a partial deadbeat. Some assumed that I could have been a better father and others knew about my situation.... I must've brought this female to court over 15 times just to see my daughter.. So I'm about 3 wins and 12 losses against the mother.. It takes 3 months to get a Court date.. and it takes 2 to 4 months for a scheduled visitation date which is not guaranteed the mother doesn't comply or any other unjustified pop-ups. =Do the math... My story is something that shows how easily women con the system to avoid co-patenting.. I want to expose the true deadbeat, her family, and everyone she Associates with.. But I'd rather not To avoid false restraining orders, false Allegations, and/or another 5 years of not seeing my daughter.. So Shout out to the male mental health clinic For Connecting me and my daughter Mariah after 5yrs... I never stopped fighting..... #Mariah #imadeher #inamedher #realfatherthings
