I,A.Rivas has fathered my 6yr.old son alone since his mother abandoned him while still in diapers.Five yrs plus I've struggled and through a never ending sea of hard times to keep my son happy doing all I can for him; out of stupidity I didN't file child abandonment on his mother.No support from his mother kept my son clean, clothed,roof over his head, healthy,educated and always happy.A grown man doing what he must for the sake of his son and after five yrs. plus his mother steps in the scene argueing, fussing and fighting with a bold statement mother knows best telling me she will have my son.Not there for a birthday or christmas out of her own will NEVER PUSHED AWAY OR RESTRICTED,but now wants to drop judgement and say whats what.Never asked for a thing but for her to see her son and that was always too much. Iwork and work hard my son is my motivation he helps keep me moving if she wasnt being someones pawn this would be different shes interferring in our lives on someone elses behalf my own manipulitive mother.All i ask is we be left in peace, I've never asked for anything else only if my son asked i never denied him of her but SHE never wanted to be there.Now someone says jump and now here I am a Father with a barrier of contridiction from a person who knows nothing of she is speaking only of what is told to her by her puppiteer.Unpeakable accusations are being made of my family,my own blood trying to rob me of my son.Here I will stand strong for my sons well being is being protected by his father and here I will remAIN BY HIS SIDE ISHALL NOT BE BUDGED, I SHALL ENDURE IWILL BARRACADE ALL THIS HATRED FROM MY FAMILY AND SHELTER MY SON ALWALS AND FOREVER.I WILL NOT BE OVERRIDDEN. THERE IS NO LOVE LIKE THE LOVE A FATHER HAS FOR HIS SON.I'mpushed in a corner surrounded byby hate from those who ought to show love.I grew up without a father never knowing him for a moment not once had the love of a mother who had her hands full with a pschopathic older brother and an over nursed younger brother,all of which are trying to sabottoge my family brick by brick they tear but I rebuild and remain strong. All i want and need is some peace of mind.I father of V.Rivas should not have another just jump in and try to call the shots as she so bluntly put it.This coming from a woman who cant properly care for the two children in her own care;this is not an accusation this IS a KNOWN fact she left two innocent children in the care of a mentally challenged family member who through a four and five yr old to the streets in the middle of the night,athorities were called and with the aide of a helicopter the two were found in alley several streets away scared to death,but alive thank God and rescures....My son could have been there in diapers lost to me:Yet mother knows best.I'm not here to slander anyone in the ways my family is being done,but the well being of my son is at home with his father,I am here on this Earth to care for my children and by GOD I Albert Thomas Rivas will do so until my last breath if there could be a way to keep on after I would continue to do so..I LOVE MY CHILDREN WTH ALL MY HEART. We just want peace in our lives the harrasment has gone on long enough, we have been through enough the fake alligations have to end.Why does my family have to go through this they dont deserve WE DONT DESERVE THIS. C.P.S. has been called on us by members of my own blood fraudulant charges were made on my in-laws the only support I have left. LIES WERE SPUED ALL LIES and here we are playing ball with C.P.S. people who claim not want to take our chidren but certainly are listening in closely to the lies of a maipulitive grandmother and mother who wants to take her child ONLY TO HAND MY SON TO MY MOTHER...yes ..truthfuly..she has stated she does not want him my son our son in her home but in my mothers..it makes me sick.but here I stand strong a father defending his children from scandelous hate.Leave me my rights why allow this woman to break my family down.
