Seeing my children
Donation protected
I was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma in Early May 2020. I had a large tumor removed on 06/16/2020. Beings that it was in my frontal lobe I temporarily lost control of my emotions and my mouth, I had no filter or inhibitions this past summer. It was a trying time for all of us. I have since recovered and firmly in control of myself again. On 08/22 it all came to a head, my wife called the police who took me to jail for a warrant from the accident that I had (had a seizure while driving) that was issued after I missed a court hearing in July due to being hospitalized. Said warrant was lifted 08/10 but was not followed through as far as lifting it from the state database. I was not charged with anything related to the verbal domestic dispute. Upon release from jail I was informed that she had filed a PFA against me making it so I was unable to return to my home of 15 years. Not only did she list herself to be protected (HAVE NEVER ABUSED HER), she listed our two children whom I have never abused, ever. I have maybe 3 years to live. My wife has removed my children from my life. I am now homeless and subject to a court order limiting me to supervised visitation every other weekend for 4hours. I want to appeal this order. I am a great father, my children Paige and Grayson, were raised with me in the home up until 8/22/2020. We were so close. I have never hurt my children or my wife, but my wife lied through her teeth to get a protection order against me, in lieu of calling the jail and letting them know that I was scheduled for beginning my radiation and chemo treatment she filed the aforementioned PFA. I am not without fault in this but we knew that there would be these difficulties following the removal of a large piece of my frontal lobe where our control of our emotions and inhibitions come from. The cerebral fluid has since refilled that area and control has returned. I own the home but am not able to go to it. I have gone through chemo and radiation while living alone in a hotel which consumes my disability. I remain in love with my wife and I forgive her as we are directed to do by God, I miss my children and am having a very hard time fighting for my life without my family. I pray every day to no avail. Please help me... The laws are so geared against the father. My children need me. And I need them as I am looking to guide my 5 year old son and my 6 year old daughter through life with a legacy of love and respect for their father. I am dying and my children need whatever time that I have left to offer them the guidance that they deserve. Please. Please. Please. Help me fight for their lives, for their future. It is cruel, marriage is a sacrament. I took my vows seriously... If you are unable to offer me any funds I will be very grateful for your prayers. God bless you and thank you in advance.
