"MY SIDE OF THE STORY"
  by Lo Key


i never intended on it ending the way that it did.
i mean me and your moms wasnt a match, but i wouldnt abandon my kid.
Not my first born, first son.
Shit i was present at birth, i remember cause i was the first one
to hold you,
that's when i told you that i would never leave. And i meant that,
but i was bent back
and forth and torn into pieces,
just like that child support order---torn into pieces----
she put papers on me? like i'm some dead beat? i had you every other Day of every week not weekend. gave her money when she needed.
i went without to make sure that you could eat. she thought that she had me beat...but i'm smarter than that, i held on to my receipts.
still they ordered that i pay 20% of my monthly income.
she ended up getting less than she was,
she gotta feel pretty dumb.
but i never try to disrespect her no matter how she behaves,
because i know that sometimes her actions are based on my dumb mistakes.
so i take the punches, she's trying to knock me out of the picture...
i guess that's why for two months i haven't been able to get ya!
but i keep trying every other weekend but she doesnt answer my phone calls.
and i want NO MORE DRAMA that's why i dont get the laws involved.
even though if i did, i would probably win
but it aint about winning, you need a healthy environment to live in. so if your ever in a position to question, "WHY DOES DADDY IGNORE ME?"
you now can make your own judgement to what would've been
a one sided story.

Beautiful, sounds similar to my brothers. I feel your pain I haven't seen my nephew since 2002, that shit hurts cause if he sees' me he wouldn't even know who I was. So just to let you know don't give up, don't let her win this is not tug-a-war, but you can't let this end. Don't allow him to believe daddy doesn't care. Show him on you he can depend, I know the drama sucks, but do you want him to grow up thinking daddy doesn't give a fuck?

Got damn it...I feel ya on this shit...my baby girl now 6 took 5 yrs to get her momma to finally act right...man the grudge of me not wanting her after she had shown me that she did not want me is a mutha fuckka. it took really an act of GOD homes. Hang in there patna and all will surface in your favor...
