I applaud you sir for your well thought out, well written response to the allegations against you. I want to wish you the best of luck in getting custody of your daughter because you obviously deserve to have her and she you. At least one of her parents cares about her health and welfare. There should be more parents like you, not only in Tupper Lake, but everywhere.

You go bro...We, your loving family know the truth and how heartbreaking this whole situation has been for you...Some people live in some kind of "Springer" world and it is more than sad, especially when children are involved...We love you.

I do in fact have a daughter named Sidonna in Tupper Lake, whom I love very much. I think of her every day. She is a beautiful and smart little girl who deserves a better life than her current existence. She would have a much better and more stable life with me and my family. Unfortunately, the laws in New York do not allow the better person to raise their children. In New York the mother always is awarded primary placement, even if she has a different man at the breakfast table every morning to meet her daughter. My daughter will never know the stability of a normal family life or a good and loving father. I have fought for and won custody of my two sons; sons who have always known and benefited from not only my love, but my financial assistance without interruption. My daughter has also been provided for even before her birth, without interruption. Since Sidonna's birth, court records show that not only did I pay what I was obligated to pay, but thousands in excess. Even now, I assume a higher percentage of all costs for Sidonna, even though the Judge stated that I did not have to pay a higher percentage. Any one who knows me will surely tell you that I don't lie about such matters because I don't need to. Every one that knows me will surely tell you that I would have Sidonna live with me in a heartbeat if that were possible. Her mother has been adament about Sidonna not spending time with me in Wisconsin, as SHE did not feel it would be good for Sidonna. With my financial support and Sidonna's mother's family surrounding her, that is the closest "stable family life" she will probably ever know, because of the circumstances created by her mother. Ask yourself if you wish that very disruptive and potentially damaging home environment for my daughter. All I wish for Sidonna is to know a stable and happy life filled with genuine love. Maybe Sidonnas mother could do her a favor and stop smoking around her so that her asthma could be less severe; that goes for her grandparents, too. Maybe she could spend less time in the bars so that her daughter could spend time at home instead of being raised by her loving grandparents. Go ahead and believe Sidonna's mother when she lies to your face telling you that she doesn't smoke around Sidonna. And, yes, I am re-married and have been for over a year. I don't have another child, and my wife is not pregnant and never has been. My sons are grateful that I moved to Wisconsin for the sole purpose of being with them. Deadbeat dad's don't pack up their life and move 1,050 miles away from their hometown and family for the sole purpose of being with their children. People who judge from so far must be cowards. Show the facts. Dont hide behind your ignorance. Weak minded people believe everything they are told and live their lives through the strife in thier friends lives. I cringe at the thought of my daughter spending time with idiots such as yourself. I would suggest that you choose better friends. Life's to short to be wasting time with trash. Acts like this attack are the very reason that Sidonna and I have the relationship that we do. It is the ignorance of people who wish to destroy others that keep us apart. And to the author, I will be in Tupper Lake the weekend of June 28th. Look me up. I'd love to meet you face to face! Bring all of your friends, too. The discussion will be enlightening.
