A born and bread Mancunian - like all decent Dad's I'm a normal guy with interests in Music, Football, boxing etc. A pretty staple repertoire for a Mancunian.
Anyone reading this site will understand the purpose of it. Whilst it has been written primarily to answer questions about us as a family an ensure the truth is available to anyone with an interest in Sonny. It will no doubt also act as a truth bank for Sonny if he ever has any interest in knowing why he is who he is.
He's my blood and he'll always be my blood and there's nothing his maternal family can ever change about that. So if he ever want's to understand his history then he doesn't need to ask us, it'll be written here for him to see.
I always knew Sarah and Margaret would destroy our relationship with Sonny. That's ultimately why we separated whist Sarah was pregnant. There will be more detail as the site builds on this point but to be clear this site has only been built to tell the truth and I'll stand by anything that is written on here as being factual. This is a site that will tell the story about a failed relationship that resulted in parental alienation and the destruction and devastation that followed.
Why the theme?
Well, when were able to have a relationship with Sonny (from being around 18 month - 8 years old) he was a die hard Manchester City fan. Why, because I am and so is his family. I first took Sonny to a game when he was around 4 and also took him to a game with his Mum - 08/08/2009 - against Celtic. We went to many games after that, home and away, and we also attended the FA Cup final. Whilst his teacher advised me he was actually a Sheffield United now maybe City is his 2nd team and he can't possibly have forgotten the times we spent supporting them.
We assumed him following a struggling local team as opposed to one of the greatest teams in the world is part of the alienation process, that he's trying to rid himself of any emotional attachment to us. That's fine, we understand alienation has far reaching traits. There's little we can do about that but we don't blame him, none of this story is Sonny's fault - he was only a kid.
dads and their Kids
Everyday, thousands of Dads go through the same devastation that we've gone through, some sadly much worse. As a consequence Dad's are alienated from their kids to the point that sadly some feel there is no alternative other than to take their own life. For the few, they just can't cope with the effects of not seeing their children. It's sad and it's typically driven by hate resulting in their kids being used against them emotionally. It just becomes too much. My heart goes out to all the Dad's that today will be looking at another day, another weekend, another month or another Christmas without there children.
This site also honours not just the Dad's who are desperately trying everything everyday to battle their way through CAFCASS or the Courts it's also for all those guys who are no longer here, who didn't make it.
One day I hope someone is around to be able to tell their kids that they loved them and you tried your best.
