I have always thought that my personal thoughts as a father were something I want my children to know. I simply felt I lost touch with my kids.<\/p>\n

After talking with many of my dad\u2019s friends, many said there are misunderstandings in their family, that they haven\u2019t been with their kids, or simply haven\u2019t had the chance to express their thoughts directly with their children. Some even told me they feel strongly that the air had to be cleared. They said they would like to have a place to express themselves. Now there is A Father\u2019s Novel.<\/p>\n

I was born in Detroit, Michigan.\u00a0 My early years consisted of growing up in the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s.\u00a0 That time frame shaped me into the person I am today.\u00a0 Detroit was a rough place back then, but my childhood was filled with good friends and family.<\/span><\/p>\n

After high school I joined the Army.\u00a0 I spent the summer of 1986 in Anniston, Alabama at Fort McClellan.\u00a0 After boot camp, and advanced individual training, I was stationed in Germany for the next two years.\u00a0 My world opened up after this.\u00a0 I went on to spend a total of seven years in the military, which were some of the best times of my life.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1993 I made the decision to get out of the military.\u00a0 I had several job offers, but I settled on the City of Cincinnati, where I became a Police Officer.\u00a0 My career mainly consisted of street patrol, mountain bike patrol, S.W.A.T, and district level vice work.\u00a0 Time flew, and in 2018 I retired from Police work after 25 years of service.<\/span>

<\/div>\n
With retirement behind me, I moved on to another career, moved to another state, and moved on with life.\u00a0 During my military life and time in Cincinnati, I fathered two beautiful daughters.\u00a0 The cost of having children out of wedlock, and dealing with two different women would soon hit me and put me in the system.\u00a0 This is where my story begins like so many other men of my generation.\u00a0 After many talks we all have come to the conclusion that the system that\u2019s in place isn\u2019t built for the man or child.\u00a0 The system needs to be overhauled, and\u00a0 safe guards put in place to make sure the child is the number one priority.\u00a0 Stop the economic destruction of the father, for 18 plus years, while the mother reaps all the benefits.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
