A Heart-Wrenching Day: The Last Parenting Time I Had with Alys
It was a beautiful day during my parenting weekend in December 2022—another enjoyable opportunity to bond with Alys. We spent the day laughing, sharing a meal, and enjoying her favorite comedy. As she asked for an extra-long foot rub, the warmth between us felt palpable. But then everything changed.
Without warning, her mother arrived to take her away, cutting our time short. As Alys looked at her phone, fear filled her eyes. She turned to me, her voice trembling: “Daddy, I’m being forced to choose between my parents. It’s not fair. I’m only 10 years old. I just want to be a kid.” Those words are forever etched in my soul.
After I attempted to reassure her that she should never have to choose and that she deserves love from both parents, the damage was done. She stood up, visibly disturbed, saying, “Daddy, I don’t have a choice. I’m sorry. I love you.” Then she ran down the stairs, leaving behind the father-daughter bond that had been our lifeline. That day marked the last time I was able to have parenting time with Alys.
The Aftermath: A Father’s Fight for His Children
For the past year and a half, I’ve been denied my basic right as a father. Time, presence, and experiences with Alys—stolen. Every Wednesday, every other weekend, every holiday—completely wiped off the map. No explanation, no legal reason—just silence. No father should have to hide gifts at his daughter’s mother’s house in a scavenger hunt format just to get a message, love, or gifts across to them. But that’s what I’ve done. I’ve tried everything—leaving notes, dropping off lunches at school, inviting her places—but even her birthday connections are denied.
Tragically, Alys has been taught that my presence doesn’t matter, that my parenting rights are irrelevant, and that spending time with me is unimportant. This consistent undermining of my role as her father has robbed her of countless opportunities to experience my love and the joy of shared moments with me and all the people in my life.
As Edward Kruk states, “When a parent successfully turns a child against the other parent, it’s not only a betrayal of that parent but a severe form of emotional abuse against the child.” This orchestrated campaign has profound and lasting effects on both Alys and Masen, shaping their perceptions of love, family, and their own identities.
For the past 6-7 years, I have remained deeply committed to my children, no matter the challenges thrown my way. Just a month before our divorce, I received an email praising me as a great father. Yet, in court, I faced unfounded accusations of being bipolar and unfit—labeled unjustly for reasons that had nothing to do with my abilities as a parent.
Over time, this conflict became more than just a personal battle—it became a struggle to maintain my relationship with my children. Both of my children experienced a painful shift in their relationships with me at a similar age, triggered by hurtful messages from their mother claiming I didn’t love them. This was part of a calculated campaign to undermine our bond. They faced a constant stream of negative messaging, leaving them confused and emotionally torn.
Masen’s story is particularly painful. Around the time he stopped seeing me regularly, his academic performance began to decline dramatically. Before that, and even now, Masen has always been brilliant, witty, and intuitive—a boy with immense potential. His middle school teacher, Ms. Packard, noted in her observations, “Masen is a bright boy and performed well when he could rely on his natural talents. Most of my contact was with Dad, who was on top of the boy’s school assignments and grades. He did not do well at times in areas that required planning and follow-through unless he was encouraged and guided by his dad.” Despite this support, when his grades dropped, instead of addressing the emotional toll of losing time with me and his siblings, his mother placed him on a 504 program—essentially labeling him as impaired.
But Masen wasn’t impaired—he's never been impaired—he's fucking amazing and always has been. What he needed was love, support, and the normalcy of family life. Instead, he was robbed of crucial developmental time with me and his siblings. He missed countless moments—family trips with his uncle and cousin, time with his brother and sister, homework help, encouragement, and the shared experiences that help a child thrive. Instead, he was left alone for days at a time, as young as 12 years old.
Just days before he stopped seeing me, his mother sent a scathing email accusing me of favoring his twin brother—ugly emotions I can only assume were passed onto Masen. Shortly after, he started running away from me after school, instead of coming home with me—eerily similar to what happened later with Alys. The parallels between their experiences highlight the emotional burden they’ve both been forced to carry.
It wasn’t just his grades that declined. Masen’s interest in school, his willingness to attend class, and his engagement in learning steadily dropped over the next few years. Rather than acknowledging the true source of his struggles—the heartbreak of separation—he was labeled as the problem.
But Masen was never the problem. He was the victim of a calculated effort to diminish my role in his life. For nearly three years, Masen missed every single moment of my parenting time. And while we’ve reconnected occasionally—through shared dinners, concerts, and a few fleeting experiences—the damage is clear. The love, support, and stability that should have been constant in his life have been missing.
One of the most powerful reminders of this is a Christmas card Masen gave me after a few months together following nearly three years apart. The words he wrote prove how much he knows he needs his dad, just as every child deserves.
The true tragedy isn’t just what I’ve lost—it’s what my children have lost. What Masen missed out on, and now, what Alys is being robbed of as well.
Desperate Attempts to Reconnect: A Year and a Half of Silence
For over a year and a half, I have made every effort to connect with Alys. I’ve sent loving texts, invited her out, and even hidden gifts in her favorite scavenger hunt style. I’ve delivered food to her school, trying to remind her that my love for her remains unwavering. I even arranged for a custom singing telegram to surprise my kids on Christmas Eve last year. A man dressed as an elf performed personalized songs for them and read my heartfelt cards aloud. Even though my scheduled holiday time wasn’t honored, I did everything I could to show them my love.
However, my ex has made every effort to prevent any interaction between Alys and me. Since December 2022, every Wednesday, every other weekend, and all scheduled holiday plans per our legal custody agreement have been completely violated. There has been mainly zero response or communication, and no legal justification for her actions. This isn’t simply a lack of effort; it’s a deliberate and purposeful effort to keep me from Alys. If anyone reading this is connected to Alys's mother, whatever story you’ve heard is likely complete nonsense or heavily exaggerated to suit her agenda and avoid being seen in a different light.
When I’ve encountered my ex at various events for the kids, she deliberately avoids contact, rolls her eyes, while I engage with her family and others cordially. On one occasion, I attempted to pick up Alys from school on my scheduled parenting day, bringing a friend as a witness. My ex forced Alys into the car, made it clear not to speak to me, and when I calmly asked, "What are you doing? It's my parenting day," she refused to even roll down the window before peeling out in front of the school.
There are countless absurd incidents like last year’s back-to-school night, where I greeted her, only for her to roll her eyes and sigh in irritation. Despite that, I still helped her navigate the school since I’m familiar with it. Her behavior is unhinged, though masked by a veneer of goodness and material success, while the real damage is inflicted on our daughter.
Father’s Day this past June, I finally had a moment alone with Alys—one of the only times since this all began. Though it seemed conditional on discussing a passport renewal, Alys expressed genuine love, saying she wanted parenting time with me, that she missed me, and that she loved me. This moment stood in stark contrast to the narrative being told to her.
I could feel the internal conflict she faces, caught between her love for me and the conditioning to live without giving or receiving that love.

Health Decisions Without Consent: A Father’s Rights Ignored
I hold legal shared custody of Alys and share decision-making responsibilities, yet these rights have been completely disregarded. Medical procedures have occurred without my consent. Despite my repeated inquiries about important health decisions, including her tonsil surgery, I have received no answers.
One egregious instance involved the false claim that Alys had a dairy allergy. After qualified doctors confirmed she had no reaction, I had to send a letter to her school to ensure she could participate in birthday parties—only to learn that my ex apparently called the doctor an “asshole” when his office sent the results to her home.
Disrupted Time Together: A Father’s Love Sabotaged
Scheduled playdates and activities have frequently been arranged on my designated parenting days, undermining my time with Alys. Numerous times, Alys was checked out of school just before dismissal on my parenting days.
In my attempts to connect, I would bring her favorite lunches, hoping for a moment of engagement. However, most of the time, my efforts go unanswered.
I've received text messages from her mother claiming, “you don’t love Alys,” “you don’t know what love is,” and insisting that I should “leave our family alone.” These disruptions are not just frustrating—they create profound confusion and insecurity in Alys.
A particularly painful example occurred in May when I filed a court motion regarding my ex’s violation of my legal parenting time. That evening, Alys texted me, “Mom says you think I have mental problems.” This manipulation not only misrepresented the focus of my concerns which referenced “Alys’s emotional well-being,” but further drove a wedge between us.
Isolation from Family and Friends: A Daughter Cut Off from Love
My concerns regarding Alys's lack of connection with her family have been met with dismissive responses. Alys has essentially been removed from half of her life, losing valuable relationships with friends and family who care about her.
I have not been informed of any dance recitals—a true passion of hers—nor was I told about her tonsil surgery or that she had broken her ankle a few months ago. I found out about her injury from Vole, which deeply troubled me. To show my love, I dropped off a heartfelt bouquet and card through the head of security at her school, ensuring she knew I was there for her.
The Pain of Parental Alienation: Alys Deserves Better
The emotional and psychological toll on Alys is profound and deeply troubling. She has gone from a loving, carefree girl who cherished her relationship with me to someone struggling with anxiety and confusion. In a matter of weeks, she was manipulated into feeling contempt for her dad, running away from me at school, and eventually being conditioned to believe she should reject the love we once shared—all without ever seeing or speaking to me.
Yet, during our last encounter, it was clear that beneath the surface, Alys misses me and loves me. Her acknowledgment of the truth highlights the treachery of this situation—she has been forced to adopt a façade that doesn’t reflect her real feelings. This manipulation has not only strained our bond but also left her grappling with uncertainty and distress, trapped in a narrative that isn't her own.
As Edward Kruk, a prominent expert in family dynamics, asserts, “Turning a child against a parent is a form of child abuse that can lead to grave long-term consequences.”
Despite every obstacle, I refuse to give up on Alys. I’ve sent messages of encouragement and shown her through my actions that my love for her is unconditional. Each effort I make is a testament to my commitment to her well-being, even in the face of manipulation that seeks to erase my presence from her life.
Yet, Alys continues to be used as a pawn in a larger conflict, and the silence from adults around her—including my ex’s family and friends—has only contributed to her pain. They may not understand that their silence perpetuates the cycle of confusion and fear she faces daily.
A Constant Campaign Against a Father’s Love
Since the divorce, there has been a relentless effort to remove me from my children’s lives. For years during our marriage, I was hailed as the “greatest dad ever.” Friends and family witnessed our close relationship, yet once the divorce occurred, that narrative shifted dramatically. Mistakes I made were amplified and twisted into reasons for my children to hate or reject me.
During Masen & Vole’s graduation party, Vole approached me and shared that his mother had asked him, “Why the fuck is your dad here?” He boldly replied, “Because he’s my dad.” This moment encapsulates the ongoing effort to undermine my role as their father, even during significant life events.
Professionals have noted that a parent who turns their child against the other parent is essentially trying to erase half of the child's identity. This is often presented as protective behavior, but it’s a facade that leads to profound emotional harm. “Bad-mouthing your ex to your kids doesn’t just hurt your co-parent; it damages your child. The child sees it as an attack on half of themselves.” -Dr. Joshua Coleman
This ongoing campaign to erase my presence from Alys’s life is a stark reminder of how drastic and damaging these actions truly are.
Alys Deserves Your Voice
Alys is being denied the love and connection she needs. She’s trapped in a painful situation, isolated from the very person who cherishes her most—her father.
The truth is simple: Any parent who tries to erase the other parent from their child’s life is not serving their child’s best interests. As Jordan Peterson said, “When you hold your child’s relationship with the other parent hostage, you’re using your child as a pawn in your own power game, and that’s a recipe for resentment and damage.” No matter what narrative my ex believes justifies her actions, it’s Alys who is suffering, trapped in a cycle of manipulation while being forced to pretend everything is fine.
Alys deserves both of her parents, without manipulation or interference.
To those who’ve seen the reality—who know the love between me and my children—your voices can bring the truth to light. You’ve witnessed the harm this has caused Alys, and you’ve seen what’s being done to prevent her from knowing the love she deserves.
For those who may not know Alys well but have spent time with me around my other kids, known me from past experiences, or even been through something similar, your positive words and shared stories can make a difference. Whether it's speaking to my role as a father or the harm caused by situations like this, every voice matters.
Speak up. Share your experiences. The more who stand up for Alys, the harder it becomes to keep her isolated. The truth will come out.
I am here for Alys with love, with truth, and with the strength of those who believe in what’s right. Together, we can restore what’s been unfairly taken from her.
Your support can make all the difference in restoring the love and connection Alys deserves with me, my family, and the friends who deeply love, cherish, and miss her.
Alys and Me on Kindness
One of the most special projects Alys and I worked on together was a video about kindness—a message that was close to both of our hearts. Alys helped write this tribute to reaching out to others with love and compassion, and it shows her beautiful spirit in action. I hope this video serves as a reminder of her true nature, and what we all need to embrace as we work toward healing.
Alys Explains Kindness – A lesson from my daughter
Share Your Support
"Thank you for your support and for taking the time to hear our story. Together, we can make a difference."
I know firsthand how painful and devastating divorce can be for kids. My good friend Darek and I have had many long talks about this – about our kids, our divorces, our ex-wives, and the broken judicial system. As a dad, I’m honestly disgusted by the whole situation. My own kids have been through a messy, tough divorce with circumstances that mirror Darek’s.
When both parents are alive and want to be involved in their children’s lives, there’s no reason both shouldn’t be fully supportive of each other’s role. Sadly, that’s not always the case – and that’s been true for Darek and me. Society, and especially the legal system, tends to favor the mother’s perspective over the father’s. In many cases, dads are completely disregarded, as Darek and I both know all too well.
A father plays a crucial role in the raising and development of his children. When a father is absent, it can lead to long-term emotional issues and insecurities for the kids. A study conducted by the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) found that father absence is linked to depression in adolescence and early adulthood. The research shows that the earlier the father is absent, the more it can affect a child’s mental health long term. They concluded that more research is needed to understand how to reduce the risks of depression in children who grow up without a father. (Source: PMC article)
Every child deserves the love of both parents. But unfortunately, the blame game often starts, with one parent trying to turn the kids against the other. This can lead to narcissistic behaviors that hurt the children and the other parent. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) affects how someone sees themselves and relates to others, and it can be toxic in a co-parenting situation. There’s simply no reason a divorced parent shouldn’t encourage their child to have a healthy relationship with the other parent. But sadly, that’s not the case in Darek’s situation or mine.
A mother can have just as much influence on a child’s development as a father can. Sometimes, she might even go so far as to manipulate how the child views the other parent. I’ve heard the same hurtful words Darek has, like my ex-wife telling me, “The kids don’t even care about you or ask about you.” For any dad, those are some of the most painful words to hear – especially when you’re already feeling distant from your kids after a divorce.
It’s taken me over five years to start rebuilding my relationship with my kids. I still find myself in situations where I don’t hear from my 9-year-old son for weeks, sometimes months. I know it’s because his mom has taken away his phone, and he’s halfway across the country with no way to contact me. The same thing happened when my daughters were younger. But as they grew older, they began to see the truth about what their mom had been doing to keep them from me. I’ve had long talks with my daughters about the lies they were told – and showed them proof of my ex-wife’s dishonesty. At first, they blamed me for everything their mom said. But when they were old enough, they could finally see the narcissistic behavior for what it was, and they realized that my love for them had never wavered.
Narcissism and the blame game are destructive behaviors that often go untreated, and the judicial system rarely addresses them during divorce proceedings.
Darek’s love for his daughter Alys is undeniable, and anyone who knows him can see the depth of his efforts to rebuild their relationship. Darek and I have shared countless memories of our kids and the moments that have brought us so much joy. Sometimes, these precious memories are all we have when a child becomes distant. I know in my heart that Alys loves and misses her dad, but she’s been led to believe he’s not a good father. Darek is a caring, loving man, and this situation has caused him so much emotional pain. I truly believe Alys will eventually come around, just like my own kids did. I’m confident that, one day, Alys will be filled with the same joy and excitement when she sees her dad again – just like my kids did when we reconnected. Darek wants nothing more than to be more involved in Alys’ life and create more beautiful, loving memories together. My continued prayers for Darek and Alys to rekindle and strengthen their relationship.
I write this today to not only express my deep admiration and love for a truly wonderful man, but I write from the perspective of a daughter who recently lost her father. I am almost 50 years old; my dad was almost 75 and I still believe I lost him too early. Some may say it's different, I am an adult, and my father passed away. I happen to believe what's happening with Alys and Darek is far worse. Alys is a young, beautiful soul who adores her dad in every sense of the word. Darek is a young, kind, beautiful man who is very much still alive and yearning to give Alys not only what she needs and wants, but more importantly, what she DESERVES. To strip them both from this unspoken, magical bond that they have shared from the moment Alys was born is not only devastating and so very wrong but extremely damaging to Alys on so many levels.
I vividly remember the day Darek and I reconnected. I was with my husband, son and mom and dad. We were in line waiting to get frozen yogurt. I heard "Jeni Epstein, could that really be you?" I turned around and saw the same sweet, dimply smile that I remembered from high school. He was with Alys and Vole. The pride that emanated from him when he introduced his children to my family was palpable. I truly don't just say that lightly. He lit up when describing their favorite activities and shows that they liked to watch. He even extended the greatest compliment to me when he stated that Alys reminded him a lot of me. He went on to tell Alys a few stories from high school about the importance of being kind and how he remembered after all these years that I was so kind to him. She grabbed on to him and gave him a big squeeze and said "Oh, I know Daddy!" I wasn't surprised that he had such beautiful, wonderful children, Darek has epitomized the word love since the day I met him. I turned to my dad, who was also my very best friend and said, "they remind me of us, don't they, dad?" He nodded his head and smiled. We all left that simple interaction with such a happy and joyful feeling. From that moment, Darek and I have only gotten closer. He has become part of our family.
Being a wife and mother, I am sure, just as my husband has, that Darek has made mistakes and has faults of his own, none of us are perfect. We are all human. However, nothing, absolutely nothing, warrants punishment of this magnitude.
It's truly inexplicable. The Darek I know, is full of life, love, passion and loyalty. He, without question, has one of the biggest hearts I know. He exudes joy and is the definition of what a perfect father should embody. He's strong, capable, resilient and proud. He's a shoulder to cry on, and ear to listen and the one person everyone always goes to for encouragement, advice and honesty. All qualities that are imperative for Alys' future self. If I feel like a better version of myself just by being with Darek for a few hours, I can't even imagine the loss Alys is feeling every single day that she is without him.
I pray for the day that Alys and Darek are reunited! Too much time has already passed. My dad was such a vital part of my growth, independence, maturity, self-love, self-empowerment, I could go on and on. He is truly one of the most important reasons why Darek remembered me so fondly. Every daughter needs her dad. Every daughter deserves her dad. To rob Alys of this is a crime. My greatest wish is to be there when Alys and Darek finally come back together and get that heartside hug that they both have been desperately aching for.
I first met Darek when I was seven years old. Even at a young age I remember noticing his positive energy and intense love for his kids. I’m now 21, and I’m proud to call Darek a close friend of mine. He is such an amazing guy and his love towards his kids has been so evident through his words and actions. Over the past few years, Darek has been there for me during some very challenging times in my own life, including my parents divorce and the death of my mother. His love and care for others is some of the greatest I’ve felt from anybody . It truly angers me that such an upstanding person has been taken away from his time as a father. I can’t begin to imagine what he has gone through with all of this as I am a young man without children, but I can understand the pain that has been wrongly placed upon him. This whole situation is just very fucked up and needs to change immediately for the sake of his daughter and for Darek’s sake. I pray that Darek is reunited with his daughter and they spend the time together that they both deserve.
I’ve known Darek my entire life. My dad and Darek were best friends since high school. Although my dad unfortunetly passed in 2010, Darek has continued to show up and be there for me throughout my life. Words cannot express how much I appreciate his effort and kindness. He will always be family to me.
I’ve been around for many phases of Darek’s life. My dad and I lived with Darek for some time when I was little and I have memories of him before he had children. I also have memories of him while he was married and when the twins were young. I can vouch for the type of person he is. And Ive witnessed the type of father Darek is. He is a great one!
Im disturbed by the fact that Darek is being pushed out of his children’s lives and treated this way. It’s not only wrong, but his children are being robbed of precious time with their dad. Time that they wont be able to ever get back.
Finding out that now Alys too, is being distanced from her father is completely unbelievable to me. That is just not the girl I know! Alys loves her dad. She reminds me a lot of me and the relationship I had with my father. Seeing her face light up around Darek is priceless. I feel that her spirit is unleashed around him. Both Darek and Alys become their fullest and happiest selves when they are together. This is so obvious! And keeping Alys away from her dad will harm her tremendously.
It’s so important for Alys, Masen, and Vole to all have a relationship with their dad and build that special bond. He must be there for significant life events and he should be in the know about their academics, extra curricular activities, and their health. The current situation is absolutely unexceptionable.
Anyone who is lucky enough to know Darek, knows what an incredible person he is. He is energetic, caring, and happy. He is compassionate for others and never hesitates to be there for family and friends. More importantly, he is a great dad and doesn’t deserve this treatment. I stand with him and his fight to get his daughter back.
All have heard the saying actions speak louder then words. Well this is a step of action with obvious intentions of reuniting in Love with your family. I will contiue to pray for you and your family that all are sound in mind,body, and soul. Though the past years have carried tumultuous waters may peace find you through the Love of our heavenly Father, those around you, and in near future may you be able to continue the fatherhood you so desperately desire. Sure relationships are never perfect or with out fault, but if one's desire is to try and be that loving parent yet all efforts are denied than I commend you on any efforts to break through the barriers of warped hatred. Godspeed and again all my prayers and all my Love.
To the rest of family well....

Your love for your daughter truly shines through in every beautiful memory you share. It’s heartwarming to see how dedicated you are to being an incredible father. Even when facing challenges, remember that your role as her primary educator and guide is so important.
Creating a loving, respectful environment for her is a gift that will last a lifetime. Don’t lose hope—keep reaching out for support and advocating for the time you deserve together. Your unwavering love and commitment will help you both navigate this journey. Stay positive; the bond you share is powerful, and it will only continue to grow. You’ve got this!
I’ve been on the front lines with Darek, witnessing firsthand the painful and unbelievable things he’s been through as a father. I’ve seen it in person—at school pickups, random run-ins, and more. I’ve also seen the text messages from his ex wife that are nothing short of horrific—manipulative and toxic, all designed to tear him down and drive a wedge between him and his children. What she’s doing is beyond wrong, and the impact on Alys and Masen is devastating.
Any story his ex tries to sell about Darek being a “bad father” is nothing more than projection—a desperate attempt to control the situation and serve her own agenda. Darek could share so much more that people wouldn’t even believe. But through all of it, he has never wavered in his love for Alys and Masen. Despite everything, he continues to show up, with nothing but kindness, patience, and love, even in the face of relentless attacks. I’ve been there with him, and I’ve watched it all unfold.
The truth is, Darek is one of the most genuine and devoted fathers I know. He’s been through a brutal period of time trying to stay connected to his kids, and yet, he remains steadfast. I’ve seen Alys run to hug him, excited to be with her dad, only to see her later shut down as if she’s been ordered not to.
I remember vividly the time off Maplewood when she went from being joyful to distant in an instant. I’ve even witnessed moments where it was clear she was being coached not to interact with him. And it’s not just me. Anyone who has spent time around Darek knows how deeply he loves and cares for his children. The way his ex is manipulating them is beyond cruel—it’s emotional abuse, plain and simple.
Darek is the type of father we need more of in this world. He’s full of life, always making things more fun and meaningful, and constantly shows up for others with love and compassion, even when he’s struggling himself. Whether it’s friends or family, Darek is the first to give, to lift others up. I remember when my dad was on a ventilator in the hospital a few years ago, Darek wrote a powerful letter to him because visitors weren’t allowed. That’s the kind of person he is. He’s always there, passionate, committed, and showing up for the people he cares about, even when the weight of the world is on his shoulders.
Watching all of this happen to him has been hard, but it’s his children, especially Alys, who are suffering the most. They’re missing out on a father who adores them, who would move mountains to be in their lives. The emotional abuse that Alys and Masen are enduring is disgusting. Like Jordan Peterson says, they’re being used as pawns in a game, and they probably don’t even realize it yet, as each day slips by and more time is lost. And in the end, they are the ones who are suffering the most.
The damage being done to Alys is especially heartbreaking, and it has to stop. Darek put this site together with such passion and heart, and not many people could do that. Watching the video of Darek with Alys, it’s clear that she needs her father, and anyone who sees it will grieve for what she’s missing. It’s time for this madness to end. Darek deserves to be in his kids’ lives, and Alys and Masen deserve the love and support of their father.
To everyone reading this: Darek has been through enough and yet he's still fighting. Stand with him. Alys and Masen deserve to know the truth and have their father back in their lives. This situation is cruel, and it needs to change now.
