I had my first daughter at just 17 years old. I knew nothing of being a dad. My parents were my only support, and my dad is my hero. My mother is a physically, emotionally and mentally abusive person who had molested me most of my childhood. I had my second daughter at 18.
After I split with the mother of my daughters, she lost custody of them. I was in no way able to be anything that was good to or for them at the time. Although I maintained regular contact with them, my personal life had gone to $#%^. So my parents took them in. I was starting to get myself together, and was in a relationship where I had taken on 4 step kids. The time was coming for me to bring my girls home.
As they were removed from their mother, my kids were in the care of child services, and my mother was receiving a healthy amount of money for having them.
My father left my mother, and she had my girls on her own. So I stepped up how much I was in their lives.
Around 12 months after leaving my mum, my dad finds that my little brother had been molesting his 2 step daughters and removed him from the house. My mother knew this when she allowed him to stay with her and my girls.
Naturally I lost my $#%^ and removed him not so delicately.
My visits continued until one Christmas morning when my mother picked a fight with me and kicked me out. My visitation was taken from me. After months and months of fighting to see my girls, out of the blue my mother contacts me, wanting me to go away with her and the girls to her caravan on the south coast. Blinded by my need to see my children, I missed all the warning signs and alarm bells. She tells me of her jntention to move my brother in to her new house so she can afford to pay the rent. I tell her, if she does, I will take my girls and begin my long awaited battle for sole custody. The weekend goes by without a hitch, and the girls and me had a blast ( by now they are 6 and 7 years old). A few weeks later, it is nearing the weekend and I am preparing to leave my partner and step kids to go see my girls. My partner and I have discussed the idea of bringing them home, and she is in full support.
A knock on the door, it's sex crime police detectives. I am stunned that they are arresting ME. My mother has accused me of assaulting my own daughters on our weekend away. This is impossible, how can they believe her. The story police give me is so fanciful I don't think there's a chance she has been believed, but she has.
I was refused bail, and spent 6 months in prison as a child sex offender awaiting trial.
My day in court comes and I am exonerated, acquitted on all charges. Even though this is the case, I am still estranged from my girls.
Life has never been the same for them or myself since. I'm happy to say that my younger daughter ( now 20) is back in my life. She has openly told me of what she was forced to day to police, and what abuses have befallen her since I was removed from her life. Both at the hands of my mother, and my brother. There is so much, that we are having to comb through bit by bit before police pursue charges against both of them.
I had 3 sons to my ex before living under the cloud of accusation got to her and she left me. I don't blame her. Even though I was found not guilty, as they say, $#%^ sticks. Now my baby girl is home, I have been able to clear my name wholly, but the damage was done.
I am now focussed on, and my life is dedicated to, undoing all the mental and psychological damage done to my daughters. It's a long, slow and difficult road, but the damage done to me and my life is nothing compared to the damage done to my girls. I love them both dearly, and will stop at nothing to see them healthy and happy. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am only one of MANY men who get falsely accused. We live in a world where someone can point the finger and the man is instantly the enemy. Many good men are being destroyed, and make no mistake, it is soul destroying, by spiteful and vengeful people who use the collective consciousness of society as a form of retribution or vengeance
