      I hope this reaches you king. I was in almost the same situation my daughter was 2 when I last saw her she's 14 now. My daughter Found my family through Facebook then me. About a year ago. At first she snuck around to call and text me. Now we meet openly. Her mom finally realized there is no keeping a child from their parent. She's your blood and always will be KEEP YOUR HEAD UP KING.

    Man. I got a 32 year old daughter that i just started building a relationship with. My first born. She came to find me after she found out the truth. How I fought for her and her Mom alienated me from her. This the best time in my life building a new future with my Babygirl. There is still hope fellas... Im just glad I lived to see these new days with her and my Son.

    Don Trip saved my life with this song. can't count how many times I took the trigger from my dome after listening to this song. She took my boy from me. Spent thousands of dollars till I went broke. Depression set in deep. not to mention already had my previous wife die by my side @ 3 months pregnant but I fought and lived through that too! Finally worked past nearly being homeless and losing my job. found strength and after a year not seeing my son I won. now I see him every other weekend. thanks Don Trip

      I'm SORRY you had to deal with all of that. Some people TRULY ARE just HEARTLESS and ALL they CARE ABOUT is either BEING RIGHT or else DOING WHATEVER THEY CAN to make us LOOK as AWFUL as POSSIBLE. My ex is EXTREMELY NARCISSISTIC and just NATURALLY a HITLER CLONE at heart and thinks he can do NOTHING WRONG.....and when he DOES DO SOMETHING WRONG....there's NO WAY IN HELL he'll EVER APOLOGIZE for it because with NARCISSISTS....they're just CONVINCED that they WEREN'T WRONG and NEVER WILL BE. Co-parenting with a narcissist is probably the BIGGEST NIGHTMARE and CHALLENGE I have EVER had to face in MY LIFE and I don't WISH for ANYONE ELSE to ever have to deal with it. ONE DAY though our kids WILL be ADULTS and IF by SOME MIRACLE of a CHANCE the OTHER PARENT hasn't COMPLETELY BRAINWASHED THEM....they WILL eventually come to KNOW the TRUTH....so HANG IN THERE....it's NOT just the MEN that get pounded in the ass by the courts and the legal system as I'M LIVING PROOF it even happens to GOOD PEOPLE.

All i wanted to to get my kids. the judge told me i was a deadbeat dad gave her custody. 4 years late me still fighting finally she got arrested for drinking and driving with my kids. i never gave up. I have had my kids for 2 years now. found out she broke my daughters arm and abused my aon because he looks like me. This song was my motivation. All you fellas that are doing right, keep doing it.

    • @indiangoddess3025

      It basically pushes the father further away & causes resentment towards the mother. Like killing someone who's already dying, it's better to allow the child to see for themselves if the absentee parent is deserving of such access. Personally I find it utterly disgusting to play house until the moment of conception, 9 months later a baby is born then all of a sudden the same bundle of joy is in the middle of the "adults'" sadistic game of control 😠... GET IT TOGETHER!!!

    This shit hits so fucking hard, I was fortunate enough to get 50/50 but that time I had to be away from my son was purgatory.

    Who's still here. (2020) This song is so real, I haven't been able to see my son except for maybe twice last year and baby momma is still refusing to let me see my son. I've been trying to reach out to contact lawyers but ain't got the funds to pay out. It's so unreal and I feel like everything around me I'm letting down because all I really ever want to be able to see my son and be able to have the chance to help raise my son to be the man he needs to be. I've tried to commit suicide more than a couple times but I also realized of how unfair that is for him for him not to know who his father is. I'm hoping and praying that either I can continue to save up for a lawyer or he will find his father one day.

    The song got me through some of the craziest days I've ever experienced as a black male in America who grew up searching for "a Father's Love" and the concept that drives certain men to love their creation to lead and guide their creation and to ultimately be a man. During the stages that I was forced to get custody of my daughter do to her mother's drug use I had set out on a mission define myself and defy all the opposition.
