Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
-- Bible, John 8:32
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is
ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted
as being self-evident. --Arthur Schopenhauer

what this site is about
This website gives D* a voice.
I am D*s father, I raised D* until he was almost 4. Since
then D* and dad have been close. Today
D* is an 11 year old boy who soon turns 12. He is on the
verge of being a young man.
H* is D*'s mother. H* and I divorced December 2001
in Austin, Texas. H* still lives in the area while I now live
in Europe.
D* is now with H*, but he wants to live with his
father again. While D* and dad have been close, in contrast
at times
H* has been mean to D*, and this goes all the way to
the beginning , which is why I
raised D* when he was young. H* demands that D* continue to
live with her, and punishes him for insisting on living with
his father. It is as though by "winning" she is proving
something. She has used some extraordinary means, such as
having D* held in a psychiatric hospital for
treatment for brainwashing.
H*'s boyfriend has testified that H* thinks I am evil, he will do anything for her, and he would be a good replacement father. I think this is
consistent with her actions, as no mother would let her
child spend time with someone who is evil. This is either
a manipulative ploy like the
others , or delusional, as
Dad is a good person, a gentle human being, and a dedicated
father. It is also a disaster for D* as it has put him in the
middle and caused him great stress and anxiety while
leading to more mistreatment when he
complains.
H*'s boyfriend explains there was a conspiracy to
abduct D* by dad's extended family when D* refused to return to H*
after the last winter holiday. This can be seen in his numerous
comments on the discussion group. Apparently this is the
current rationalization H* is using to block D* from having contact
with his father, father's family, and all friends who know
his father. Apparently H* has gone to court and asserted
this and obtained some sort of legal confirmation for her actions.
D* has been
denied access to his father by H*
at times
before, and H* has made
unfounded abduction allegations before. It has
been constant
work for dad to stay in his son's life, and this latest event
is just another
step in a long pattern.
