I've been struggling for a while to be honest. I don't know where to start really so I'll just lay it all out there.

I got with my ex-girlfriend in 2003. I was with her for 5 years and we had a son. In January 2008 she, for some unknown reason, decided that she wanted out, but instead of doing the right thing and telling me, she told a whole host of lies and I ended up getting arrested because of them. I was released on bail, wasn't allowed to see her or my son and I had to vacate the property that we had lived at. It would've been his first birthday four days after I was arrested, but because of my bail conditions I wasn't allowed to see him. I asked the police officers if I could just drop his card and present down and that they could have me in handcuffs in they wanted to. I just wanted to see his little face on his birtday. They told me it was out of there hands, but if my ex- girlfriend agreed then it would be okay. She completely ignored my request. I missed his first birthday and I can never get that back.

Months later I had to appear in court on those bogus charges. Thankfully for me the magistrates saw what she was and how things she had said didn't add up and the case was thrown out.  While all this was going on I had to have my dog put down and my nan was dying of bowel cancer. Despite the court throwing out the case I had to wait a further six weeks before I could see my son. She had been deliberately ducking my phone calls. At this point I hadn't seen my son for about five or six months. My mom was allowed to see him, but only for half an hour and she could only take pictures of my son if my ex-girlfriend allowed it. It was hard seeing him grow up in pictures. Not being able to hug him or put him to bed at night was really difficult. I don't know how I managed it.

Eventually, I managed to get an appointment for mediation. I had to sit around a table with a total stranger and my ex-girlfriend. I was allowed to see him, but only for a couple of hours once or twice a week. I couldn't understand what was going on. I hadn't done anything wrong yet I was being punished. I couldn't understand how someone I loved and I assumed loved me could do this.

I was told a few months after the mediation meeting by two of my ex-girlfriend's mates that she was into drugs and all kinds of other disgusting things. And that they was frightened for my son's wellbeing. I immediately contacted my solicitor and I decided to take her to court and fight for custody. In the lead up to court my nan sadly passed away which devastated me as I was really close to her. By now, I was hearing a lot of disturbing things from other people about my ex-girlfriend. Drugs and prostitution being the ones that worried me the most. I couldn't allow my son to be around her any longer.

In the end it didn't go to court. I had collected numerous things from facebook and other sources and the evidence was so great that when I presented them to my ex-girlfriend she signed my son over to me and I gained full custody.

That was in 2008. I have had my son living with me ever since. I've been with my current partner for 8 years and I have 3 kids with her. 4 kids altogether.

My ex-girlfriend dipped in and out of my son's life. Never really committing. Despite what she had done to me, she was still his mother and I wasn't against her seeing him. She had supervised contact but very rarely turned up. My own mother even supervised contact at one point but my ex-girlfriend soon grew bored and disappeared for months again.

In the meantime my ex-girlfriend thought it might be fun to phone the police and tell them that she suspected my son was being abused. When the police came they were slightly dumbstruck to find us all sitting around the dinner table peacefully and soon realised that it was a hoax call. I did ask who made the call but they told me it was anonymous. It didn't take a genius to work out who it was though. I had 4 kids yet only 1 was apparently being abused. The son I had with my-ex girlfriend. After that she racked up a mountain of debt and her mother was forced to sell the family home because of it. Her mother also had to find £2,000 to pay off my ex-girlfriend's drug debts otherwise she was told that they would cut her throat. I'm glad I managed to get my son away from her. God knows what his life would've been like.

She flitted in and out of his life for a couple more years until recently. Now she's back and creating problems again. I'm not sure if I can promo regularly enough because of everything that is happening at the moment.

It has been going on for about a month now and it's thanks to my current partner, my kids and this place that I've been able to manage until this point. This place has been fantastic for me. I've enjoyed every promo I've written and all against me. I've looked forward to seeing the results of the show each week.

I don't want to let people down with Frontline around the corner so I'll try my best to get a promo out for that.

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone here. It's been great. Hopefully I can grace the boards again in the future when all this rubbish has died down.

*hug*

Messed up shit to hear.

The Big Oasis Brand will due our best to take care of that bitch.

That's what you get for trusting a woman   you think your ex is bad just wait for what your current chick will do when she realizes there's not as much to gain from being around your problematic life as there is to lose. 


future MGTOWer incoming

Take care, dude.  That's all rough.  I hope things shake out for you.

As a woman, I am shocked and appalled at this happening to you but this is also nothing new I've heard. I've heard many a times about women keeping kids from husbands/boyfriends even though they aren't even fit themselves. Some women will do ridiculous things like this to try to mask their own problems and assure themselves they aren't the bad guy in the situation. Pitiful. 

I hope everything works out for you in the end.

That's messed up.  I wish you all the best.

Sorry to hear about yo struggles dawg. Hopefully shit will work out for u. Definitely don't worry too much about promoing if you gotta take time off let someone know and you can come back anytime.

Damn it sucks to hear this, you were easily a top promoer on NEO, but life happens and some shit is bigger than E-Feds. I hope you get your situation sorted out and everything works out for you.

Shit unfortunately happens, unfortunately, let's hope we can still put quality before Frontline.

I'm sorry to hear about your personal problem. I wish you all the best and hope everything work out for you.

So sorry to hear that, man. Really hope to see you back in NEO someday soon as I enjoyed reading your work!

You've been done extremely dirty. A real shame to have this happen when you're raising the NEO ranks. Take care my dude, you'll be welcomed back with open arms if you take the time away.

What a bitch.

Hope you're doing good, though. You are one of my favourites on NEO, and it would be a shame if you were to quit because of stupid shit like this.

I'm having a great time against you Alex, you're promos are inspiring and it's always a pleasure to reply to them with some of my own.

This is a nasty piece of business you are stuck with my friend. 
And since this is but a game your personal life takes precedence without hesitation.

Don't worry about promoting man, I'm sure Azrael won't hold it against you, no one here will. Ever.
I wish you the best to make it out of that situation man.

I'm sure won't, it's not easy having the motivation when you have to deals with that kind of problem.
