It's a bit odd for me to write about what a father's love for his child is because I myself don't have a father. My biological father abandoned my mother when she got pregnant, it was me. I never felt how to be loved by a father, they always said "Father is the first love of his daughter" and I was like, "I never had a first love at all" never had a glance of him even just his shadows. But that doesn't stop me to appreciate fathers' love for his child whenever I saw some Daddy loves their child so much, I was bitter before but as I grew mature I have learned to accept it wholeheartedly.
Recently, I've been busy watching series movies and I became an instant fan of the male lead. He was the one I mentioned in one of my articles which is the "What do you after fame or stability?", I mentioned there a Thai-Chinese actor. I admire him not by his acting skills or his looks but by his personality, the way he loves his son so much. He was an actor but he was never ashamed that he has a child, some actors and actresses hide their child or any personal relationship with the media so that it won't affect their image and somehow ruined their career. He has a child and doesn't have a wife, he got his ex pregnant after they broke up. After four months or six months of break up, his ex-girlfriend told him she was pregnant. He acknowledged the child and even held a press conference just to announced and clear the issue that he accepted the child, without doing DNA tests yet, and he was so sure it was his son after seeing him for the first time. He even quoted "The birth of the child, is not a bad thing. It is beautiful" and you can see the happiness on his face while smiling when he mentioned the name of his son. Below is the clip where he had press con about his child.
Now that his son was 6 years old he had a problem with the shared custody. From the birth of his son he provided all the financial needs, he even helps her ex on taking care of the baby. There's a lot of videos on YouTube where you can see he is helping her ex in taking care of the child since he was little. Now, he didn't have the chance to see his son due to the pandemic, and also his ex-girlfriend does not allow him to see their son because he was asking to lower the monthly child support for the meantime since his income was affected by the pandemic, he has a lot of expenses and he has also employees to feed of since he is a CEO of his own company. His ex does not want what happened so he was not allowed to see his son. He noticed the last time when they were together with his son that his treatment to him was cold.
This photo was posted on his IG, with its caption because his son told him that he doesn't love him anymore, he has a bad impression on him because of their situation. I can feel that he was really in pain because it seems that the child was brainwashed by her ex. It's annoying how selfish his ex, just for the money without thinking that it will affect the growth of their son. In the short video clips below you can see he is crying, he is fighting for the custody for his son and bring the issues in court. I might not hear the side of his ex yet but I don't have any interest because if she is really concerned with the child welfare, she should not teach her son to hate his father. She should convince her son to show respect to his father, but it's not so basically she does not care at all, just her self interest or whatever.
His Ex has 6 demands, if he failed to do it she will not allow him to see his son.
Pay his son's tuition until he graduated in college.
Pay for his driver and nanny until his son can take care of his own.
Pay for all expenses for his child until he can provide on his own.
His monthly child support was raised up to 50k Baht from 30k Thai Baht, around 76K in Peso, and 1,568 in dollars.
He needs to buy a condo or house for his son in Bangkok Thailand.
He is not allowed to take his son if he cannot meet all the demands and he will be banned from seeing him.
Imagine those conditions, without considering that his income now is also affected by the pandemic, how this woman was being heartless hindering a father to see his child just for the sake of money. Those demand statements were given by the lawyer of his ex.
Its a pity I didn't experience this kind of father's love, where he will do his best and fight for his son. Some fathers even married do not have this sense of responsibility kind for their child. Some longs to have a father, while some suffer to have a hold or rights for their child, life is indeed ironic. After watching this short clip, I was crying literally because I can feel his pain and I also pity the child, that he will have inferiority as he grows up because of his parent's complications. This is a rare case where the father sues the mother for the child's custody, in most cases, it's always the mother who will after for the father support. If he is an irresponsible father he could have just let her ex do what she wants an abandon his child but he is not, his love for his child was very unconditional that he is willing to do everything just to have his right for his son's custody. I even saw a clip where his brother is also crying consoling him because he was really in pain and crying out with silence. I hope he will win the case since he has provided all the needs of the child since the beginning. It is said that a mother will have full custody until 7 years old, but how will the child chose his father if he was brainwashed by her mother. Poor child, stuck in the middle of complications by his parents.
"To all responsible fathers in the world, I salute you all and admire you so much for loving your child/ren. Every man has the ability to spread descendants but it takes a real man to be a father."
"To all who have a responsible father by their side, embraced them, and be thankful not everyone has a father like yours."
I may never have a father but seeing my daughter love by his father dearly like the way this actor did, I am beyond blessed just at least my child will not experience the things I had, because it's never easy to live without a father who helps you nurture and protect you at any cost. If things will change as it is now, I would never hinder my child to see her father it's their right to see others, I would never let her in pain just because of myself interest.
I can relate. It would have been nice to grow up with a father that actually cared and not just take care of the family just for show. That's how we were raised by him. It was all for reputations sake
