Dear O and C,

I am writing you because yesterday was father’s day.  I still hold out bleak amounts of hope that I might receive a phone call, letter, or even just a text from you wishing a happy father’s day.  No such luck.  Doesn’t mean I won’t stop hoping.  I’ll never stop hoping, or praying, or loving the both of you with all my heart.  I think about you every day, and wish nothing but the best for you.  I hope each of your lives is filled with peace, love, joy, happiness, fulfillment, and contentment.  You both deserve that.  This is the fourth father’s day I’ve spent without you.  While it has become easier, that is not to say yesterday went by without a deep sense of pain and longing for you both.  I dream of a day where we can be together again.  I am now acutely aware that that day might never come, but again, it won’t stop me from dreaming.  You will always be with me in my dreams, thoughts, prayers, and memories, and for now, that will have to suffice.  I love you both so very much.  Take good care.


Love,

Dad

Introduction

I am a father who has been alienated from his two children, O and C. The alienation began in September 2020. Hearing the judge grant full custody to my ex wife was the worst moment of my life.  I was in complete shock and disbelief.  I had an out of body experience, and thought I must be dreaming.  I could not comprehend the decision that had just been made. The pain and heartache that followed from that point on was unbearable.  I wanted to die on numerous occasions.  I followed the court order to the T, and yet, no progress could be made because my ex wife and her attorney sabotaged every effort I made.  It was a losing battle the moment the judge made her decision, and I knew it.  I tried to keep hope alive, but my hopes kept getting destroyed every time a new declaration was filed with the court, every time a new series of false accusations were made, every time the judge made a new ruling in my ex-wife's favor.  I could not catch a break...

Dear O and C,      I am forty-three years old today.  I wish I was able to spend my birthday with the two of you.  I miss you so much!  The victory I had in court, and the prospect of getting to see you guys soon is the greatest birthday gift I could ever receive.   I can’t wait to begin reunification therapy with you; in person! Love, Dad

Dear O and C, I miss you so much.  Lately, it’s been tearing my heart apart when I think about how much I miss both of you.  I watch videos from when you were little.  We didn’t have a perfect home, but we had a darn good one.  It’s obvious to see how much you and I loved and cared for each other.  You felt safe around me.  I was so happy to be your father.  There is also a video where O, you are lying on the floor with your blanket, asking your mother for something.  She is, of course, filming you, and telling you not to throw a temper tantrum.  It is very clear that you are not throwing a temper tantrum, and are only asking for something.  Your mother goes on to threaten you and says, “if you don’t stop throwing a temper tantrum, I’m going to film you, and send it to all of your friends so they won’t want to play with you anymore. When they see this, they won't want to be your friends anymore.”  This is so cruel.  Yet, this...
