I was pretty much forced to be an absent father. By that, I mean my daughter's mother has incredibly strict parents that control everything and they have (obviously) more resources than I do.

They don't allow me to participate in holiday event and they heavily control and impact all aspects of my life and my daughter's.

I unfortunately don't have the resources to get the support and legal assistance that I need to remedy the situation.

It's a major bummer and I'm tired of being bullied around by these people.

Pretty sad that my only resort is to post on Reddit about it, where it'll fall on deaf ears.
