Hey. My name is Michael.

Im reaching out to people that maybe want to hear or understand what im going through. I Am a Dad to a little boy named Sonny age 4. Myself and Sonnys mother do not talk and she wants no communication with me and has said she rather no contact then any with me and Sonny.

I havent seen Sonny in 2 years as his mum wont let me see him and is making me go to court for any form of contact.

All I want help with is a lawyer fees. I dont even know how much I need as I think she is going to make it hard I believe and am already experiencing.

I come from a background that doesn't really have support. I need people to understand im not a victim but I do have a Dad with schizophrenia that I cant ever turn to and a Mum with her own mental issues. I was kicked out of home at the age of 14 because my mum wanted to be with her boyfriend.

I then from there have been struggling but keep battling and been working hard to learning with know choice.

I didn't get to go to school.

I have never been a person that asks for help and feels embarrassed but im going to put that to the side as I need help with lawyer fees to have something todo with my Son.

I already know its not going to be cheap and dont want to stop working to get legal aid as I work and improve so Sonny doesn't miss out as he gets older.

If someone can maybe connect to my story and wants to help me with lawyer fees then I would be very much thankful as I dont want nothing to do with Sonny and really want to know him.

Thank you in advance and I really hope someone can help. But I will be useing my own Money to. Just want things done faster. This is about a little 4 year old boy that needs his Dad in his life.

I am going to open up a mediation again as I have been advice to from the person that reached out and I am thankful for your import and information and will follow your feedback.

First payment is $550 to get 1 hour with a lawyer to make a plan.

I Will keep you guys posted on cost and keep track on how much this cost a Dad to have something todo with there son.

Update: I got a call about this and got told that im letting out to much private information about individuals. That the people could take legal action on me that I dont believe as this is my story.

I have always been told to be quite and now im speaking up i am trying to be silent but I wont. My Son means to much to me. I got ask how them people would feel on what I have wrote and not a care on how I or Sonny feel. These people are people that have done wrong all my life and what I have put on here is very mild.

People are making up things to suit there actions and directions and to deceive others. No body has ever helped me with this, not once so if people are trying to take cridet then I wonder what they have done?

But i do make a shout out to the one person that has reached out to me and talked to me about what im going through as they have been through the same and I really needed that talk, I felt I had some sort off understanding for the first time from a family member.

And I shout out to Sonnys aunty, Storm for what help she could do as I know she doesnt have much recourses to help but she made a attempt and i and Sonny are very thankful.

Its Easter weekend and i think its hardest going through what im going through but then weekends like this are the real testers. All I wish is to be with my Son. All I think about and hope Is that his getting the Easter he needs and wants. I hope his mother does the best job on this kind of days as she has always done a good job on celebrating and showing the love she has.

I want to say a Big thank you to Michael Pope. Thank you for the donation as it will help with the mediation process that im about to open up. You have been a good ear to talk to since I have done the move to Adelaide. Love the fact we have the bond of our Sons both having the name Sonny. Your support from the start has been a big deal as I have been pretty deflated but having giving me the strength with your support. The way you are showing me and talking to me about how we want our Sons and family to be is ideal on what I need at the time I met you guys. Thank you again I cant say it enough.

I will keep putting updates on the journey I have to do to have something to do with my Son.
