A Mother’s Greed
I cannot believe what people will do for revenge and money. What kinds of things people will put their children through just to get what they want. The selfishness of some parents makes me sick! I know a couple who have a little boy together and recently split up leaving the little boy bopping back and forth between parents. Bopping back and forth isn’t a bad thing, it’s probably the best way to ensure that their little fella gets equal time with both mom and dad. At Thanksgiving the dad had his little boy with him and was beaming with pride over the fact that all his sons could be together with him for a holiday. At Christmas the dad went over to the mom’s place just so the little guy wouldn’t have to be away from either parent. The dad has really gone out of his way to make sure his little fella is happy and healthy… I wish I could say the same about the mom… On New Years Day the dad and his sons were sitting on the floor of his house playing a board game when a knock on the front door interrupted them. Police officers were there to hand the dad a restraining order to keep him away from his young four-year-old son. The police then took the young boy away from his father!!! The poor little fella was confused and scared - he had no idea what was going on. One second he’s on the floor with his dad and brothers having a great time and the next these strangers are ripping him away from his daddy! That just broke my heart! Who would do that to their own child when there is no danger to the child?!?! Just for personal gain??? Oh, I just might be sick…
This was done in greed, for reasons that would help the mom get what she wanted from the dad - nothing to do with the son whatsoever! What had happened was that the mom wanted the dad to take her back. She was over her head in the cost of the rental she had and the electric bill from the hot tub she had running all the time. She (for some reason) had quit her job and was not able to afford living on the $400 a month the dad was giving her (extra - not including child support). Pretty nice since they were never married, she had it made with this guy and she wanted that life back! There was nothing about love, just the greed for his money. He’s not a dumb guy and told her no way, she’d have to figure it out for herself. She went running to her mother - a lady who had already taken her own mother’s social security money away from her! The mother guided the mom in the “right” direction of how she could get the cash she needed to live the life she wanted (without honestly working for it - the way we all do). Then there was a knock on the dad’s front door…
The dad is broken-hearted and without his son. A court battle is the next step in this crusade of personal gain. It will be nasty no doubt with accusations that the dad has some anger management issues and is violent. I have known the dad pretty much all my life, spending weeks with him on vacation and never once did I see an ounce of a violent temperament peeking through his happy relaxed personality. I have been with him with his other two children, when they were really young, and never did he do anything that sent a red flag of concern for their well being. His boys have always been happy, healthy and very proud of their dad. I also know his ex-wife, she is extremely protective of her boys and would never allow the dad to have them if he was at all mean to them. If anything they go back home (to their mother) spoiled from weeks with dad and nothing but a fun time! Giving the benefit of doubt, I’ll say that people act differently behind closed doors and I really have no idea how their personal life played out. Although, when a child is being abused you can see a fear for that parent, a distance… something and I have never seen any indications there is something wrong. The dad’s four-year-old son was happy and all over his dad every time I had seen them together. Maybe I am a little biased, but I’ll stand my ground and support the dad all the way! I do believe all children need both parents in their life, and the best case scenario would have been the bopping back and forth. When the parents have to fight for foolish things putting their poor defenseless children in the middle - the only one who pays the price is the child. I can guarantee that this little boy will never forget the traumatic experience of being ripped away from his daddy and taken away by strangers. This is something that just might haunt him forever, and added with whatever other stunts the mom might have up her sleeve. I wonder if a brainwashing is happening to the young boy while he sits with his mom and grandmother awaiting the custody trial that will determine his fate with his dad for the rest of his life.
I just hope this sad sad story has a happy ending and the little boy is placed in the right situation for him. The mom needs a shot of reality and a smack in the face! She has two sons and her first one lives with his father full-time… hummmm… Makes you wonder a little - doesn’t it? I have a good feeling about this, the dad has many good loyal friends and family members that will support him all the way! They have the funds to fight a powerful battle if needed and I doubt they’ll stop until he’s won his son back. The dad never asked for a fight, he never wanted to go there and put his child in such a position. He’s been forced here and he’ll do whatever he has to, to ensure the safest, healthiest environment for his young child. Good luck dad!
