Overview

Here is the story of a man’s desperate struggle to remain in the life of his child and keep the right to be her father. It started out as a division from his spouse and evolved into a full-scale war filled with false allegations. Instantly he became the victim. Many attempts were made to sway the child’s love and affection away from him. On several occasions he found himself repairing and rebuilding his relationship with the child. If not handled correctly, he knew this high conflict separation of Dad and Mom would confuse and hurt his little girl.
He was accused of being a threat to his child, a stalker, a drug and alcohol abuser, and an endangerment to the mother. These declarations automatically made him guilty and he was now the centerpiece of this situation. Simple observations and investigations, a large paper trail, extensive research and refusing to give up on his daughter became the key components in developing a plan that would prove his innocence. As evidence accumulated he became aware of what needed to be done in order to build a strong defense and achieve victory.
When a couple unites to become one and a baby is born to them, great changes occur for the benefit of their infant. Whether they remain together or not, this little one will have that father and mother for the rest of their life. It’s very important for every child to know that they have two parents. The ability to bond with both should never be interfered with or the end results will be damaging. Everyone has a Dad and a Mom. It’s not fair or good to take from a child what naturally belongs to them. For the sake of the children, these grown ups should act civil towards each other and remain friendly regardless of what they prefer to do. Animosity must cease to exist between the parents at all times while their youngsters are present. Like a tape recorder, they will remember what is said about the other parent.
If a man and a woman separate, the kids should never be denied the love of their folks. This action of neglect does not refer to a specific gender. It points to the one who consciously or unconsciously creates harm by obstructing the connection between the child and the other parent. Sometimes the children are used as high-powered weapons to devastate the one who departs from the arrangement. After the split, the non-custodial half wants involvement with the child but their efforts are deterred or hindered. Without justification, to disrupt the union of a child and the other parent is an injustice to both.
The absence of a healthy relationship between the child and both parents can reap havoc. This missing link can lead to spiritual, emotional, or psychological damage that will linger on forever. Protecting the children from this kind of mental abuse must become top priority.
It helps to know what kind of life the character in this story lived. From his childhood to the present, the mistakes he made and lessons learned, his family and what he was taught to believe became the structure of his being. Later in life he would discover methods that assisted in salvaging what he considered to be his personal disaster. A spiritual awakening helped him stop this destructiveness. This part of his existence resembled an earthquake in which few victims survive. Many in this country still suffer from this self-inflicted abuse.
Hopefully the experience of this man can help prevent the readers from having to go through the pain, misery, and fear of being erased from the lives of their children. It’s a real heartache to go from a full time parent to a visiting one, with most of your activities under scrutiny. Within these pages you will read from his documentation what this man did, how he fought and won so he could keep his privilege to be Poppa.

About the Author

About The Author
Each year millions of couples separate. These broken relationships may often involve children. As a result of the split, the children can sometimes be used as pawns or centerpieces in the custody battles that take place in the courtrooms across America. Children who get caught in the middle can grow up feeling partly responsible or confused and become emotionally disturbed. Poppa Won is a true story of how one man refused to give up and fought legally through the courts in an attempt to gain joint custody and the shared parenting of his only child, and won.

Anthony’s book can help non-custodial parents contend with the legalities of a custody war even when the domiciliary parent becomes embittered and tries to maintain total control of the kids. He tells how he endured the vengeful tactics and unimaginable incidents that his girlfriend inflicted upon him. His personal story will help others in similar situations develop a plan to prevent being ejected from the lives of their children. He also points out the negative impact a controversial separation can have on the mind of a child and the dangerous consequences that may occur when a parent abandons or is removed from the life of their child. Offering different methods to cope with the absence of a child, Anthony stresses that any time spent with them should form happy, joyful memories, and the importance of how no parent should reduce themselves to slandering the other parent while their child is present.

“The most important reality that the readers may learn from this book is that kids shouldn’t be brainwashed and made to experience the mental anguish, feel the emotional abuse or suffer the psychological damage that can accompany the separation or divorce of their folks, little ones have feelings too and don’t deserve this mistreatment”, Anthony states.
