An open letter to those who care

Dear Friends and Family,

I need your help. For the last two years I have been fighting for overnight residential time with Max (8), Hope (6) and Liam (4). As it stands now, I am allowed 10 hours a month with my kids. My ex wife, Moira, has been very successful in turning our children into strangers to me and Buster. It breaks my heart daily and this may be my final stand until they are old enough to sort it out for them selves.

I am sending this email to people who know me and have seen me with my kids or know what kind of parent or person I am. My kids mean the world to me, and the last few years have been the toughest in my life. I want to see them, and they want to see me; but Moira and her high dollar lawyer have convinced the courts that throughout our entire marriage I was a crazed drug addict with no concern or regard to my family's welfare or safety.

What I am asking of you is some of your valuable time. If you want to help me in my fight, I need a letter from you stating your honest and heartfelt first hand observations as to my parenting abilities.

Some of you provided a similar letter a few years ago in my initial fight. The reason I need a new one is because things have changed since then. At the time Buster was living with Cricket. In the year that he lived with his mom, he flunked out of The School for the Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati. In the last year and a half he has become a straight A student. This should speak volumes to the court I would hope.

Some of the recipients of this email knew me in Cincinnati, others have only known me since my move to Seattle. Regardless of our connection I am not asking you to do anything other than speak the truth. If you think that I am a good father and that it is in the best interest of my children to be able to spend the night at my house and have a normal relationship with with me, then I respectfully ask for your help.

Please write a letter to the judge telling him how you feel. This document must be notarized and sent to me in the next 30 days.
