This diary is a chronicle of my experiences navigating a complex and emotionally charged separation process while striving to remain a committed parent to my son. It captures the nuances of co-parenting, the conflicts that arise, and the journey of balancing responsibilities and personal growth amidst adversity. For privacy, the names and locations have been altered. Any resemblance to real individuals or places is purely coincidental. This record serves as a raw and unfiltered testament to the struggles and resilience of a father determined to protect his child’s well-being and build a stable future.
