Teagan, my only child, my only love

Dearest Teagan, I have waited so many years to be able to make contact with you. And now at last a letter to you that Lucy can't throw away. I wish I could have been with you since you were born but sadly Lucy wouldn't let me.

While it is clear Lucy doesn't like me, she should not prevent you from having your Dad. Your Dad loves you more than anything else in the world and taking you away from me has made me very sad and unwell. Lucy clearly wants to make sure I miss every day of your childhood to punish me for reasons I still don't know. Whatever I did do wrong I have been severely punished for already by missing all of your first seven years. Now the punishment is just making me more and more sick. I never actually did anything significantly bad to her, to this day I cannot understand how cruel people can be.

But she is also punishing you, by taking away the Dad that you have a right to have. All children are entitled to a Dad and you are too. Parents are meant to set aside their differences for the benefit of their children. She says she is 'acting in your best interest' by cutting me out of your life, but I can show that she is acting only in her own selfish interest.

It is almost certain that you will have been told lies about me. After all a good Dad would be there for you. So to stop me being there for you she had to make me sound bad. And as a little girl you have no real choice but to believe her. It is only when you are older that you will fully see through the lies she has told you.

Your Mum says you can see me only when you are much older, to make sure I miss all your childhood, and to make sure you have no Dad while you are a child. But sadly a difficult life and your Mum's cruelty has made me very unwell, and I may not live long enough for the day when she finally lets me see you. I suffer everyday from not being allowed to see or even know anything at all about you, my only child. And so this website had to be made so you could find out about who your Dad really was, and how much he loved you.

A few months ago I nearly died from a terrible condition for which there is no known cure. I sent a letter to Lucy begging her to let me see you just once before I died. She said no, and this proves she hopes you never ever get to meet or know anything about your Dad. It was at this point that I realised I had to make this website for you.

I have worked hard to build this website to give you the chance to have your Dad in your life if you want him. Without this website there would be almost no chance to ever see you. This website will remain up until I do see you, or will remain up for you when you are older should I not be alive anymore. So that you can at least find out a little bit about who your Dad was.

So here is the crunch. If you want a Dad who is still alive and strong enough to be able to be a fun Dad to be with, then you have to want me in you life very soon. I don't think I have enough time to live to wait for years longer until you are grown up. But its up to you, if you never want to know who your Dad is, then just do everything Lucy says as she knows how to stop you ever knowing who I was.

If you decide you do want to see me, then you must start by asking Lucy every day. Eventually she will have to let you have your Daddy. She will say no, and she will tell lies, just like she always does to me, but you must never give up wishing to see me if you want to know your Dad.

If you wish and try hard enough, you will have your Dad just like all the other children do. You must not take no for an answer. So here is how to make it happen. You have to learn to be as naughty as possible! The more naughty you are the faster you will have your Dad in your life. Being naughty might not have much effect at home, but at school being naughty could quickly get you your Dad. This is because the issue of your Dad being taken from you would be noticed by your teachers. The only reason Lucy has got away with stealing your Dad is because no-one else notices. You have to make other people in your life notice. And school is the perfect place to get noticed.

For example, when at school, say you want to see your Dad, and if they say no, then you can say no to them too. They will try to find out why you aren't doing as they say and you can tell them. I promise you that whatever you lose at school I will more than make up with things I can teach you that they can't. For example, making pretty lights with electronics, and programming computers as well as things about life no-one else understands!

Here's how you could get to meet me very quickly when you are ready. Use your website to send me a message when you want to see me. As Lucy wont let you do this from home, your only option is to do it from school instead. Then at the time we agree to meet I will arrive at the school and you just have to walk to the gate to see me. A teacher can and should come with you, but they can't actually stop you.

We only need to meet once like this, and things will change. It's all about meeting just once. This is why Lucy is putting so much effort into making sure we never meet. As soon as we have met once, the stealing your Dad game is over. After that it will be much easier to see your Dad when you want.

There are some things I have to tell you that I wish I could have waited till you were older. But because Lucy is out to stop me seeing you for years more, I have to tell you everything now. Both here and over the rest of the site. If there are things you don't want to read till your older, that's ok, because this site isn't going anywhere. You have all the time you need.

It must be hard for you to know who to believe. Ask your Mum for proof that I'm a bad person. Proof means things that are not just words that you have to believe. She has no proof because its all lies. Ask me for proof of what I say and I will show it to you. Indeed there is much proof of what I am saying right here on your website. In life to find the truth you have to hear both sides of what is being said. By stopping me seeing you, Lucy prevents your chance to hear both sides.

It looks like you never got any of the presents and birthday cards and letters I sent. Luckily I photographed everything and they are all here on this site for you to see. If you didn't get any of your presents from me ask your Mum why she didn't let you have them. It is very cruel to steal presents from children. But don't worry, I will replace all the presents Lucy stole from you when we get a chance to meet.

Since losing you my only child is painful beyond words, I have to try everything I can for a chance to be in your life. I cannot just wait forever hoping Lucy will give me a chance when it's very clear she is out to hurt me as much as possible. I waited years hoping she would give me a chance but she never did and never would. There was nothing I could do when you were very young so I had to wait until you were old enough to be able to decide if you want your Dad in your life.

Lucy will try to tell you not to look at your website. This is because it stops her plan to steal your Dad for your whole childhood. But you can say no to that too. The internet is everywhere, and Lucy cannot make this website go away. She will not like that our actual conversations have been put here for all the world to see. But in a world full of lies I think it is essential that you have the truth in such important matters.

If Lucy really thinks what I say is not true then she is very welcome to take me to court where I can prove the things that I have said on here are true. Lucy will not be so keen, for then many people will notice the terrible thing she has done to you.

There is a small chance that this website might prove so embarrassing to Lucy and her family, that they agree to let us see each other. This is because a website is a very good way of getting lots of people to notice what Lucy has done. And Lucy is counting on no-one else noticing. The more people that notice you had your Dad stolen from you, the faster you will have him in your life.

All I have been allowed to know about you so far is your full name, that you like technology, and that you like butterflies. None of this was offered freely. I had to ask questions in a way that the answers leaked out. But I made maximum use of what I learned. With your full name I was able to take ownership of the domain of your name where this web site lives. It means its only a matter of time before you or one of your friends puts your name into the internet. And then you have found your stolen Dad. Its a bit like finding a secret key! Or a hidden treasure map just for you.

Hearing you liked technology was music to my ears. Just like your Dad then! And just what I needed to motivate me to write this website for you. Did you know it's the first website I ever wrote? I had to learn four languages to make it happen. To make it good enough for you. I will write more if I have too. Once we make contact I could make a secret channel where we could talk and nobody could stop us! Do you like pretty lights? I have made the prettiest light system I ever saw. I made it for you. I cant wait to show you it.

Do you like the butterfly living at the top of your site? There's also the wishing butterflies on the front page. That's a picture of me, your Dad on the front page. I managed to grab a few photos of you off Bradley's facebook when he friended me just to spy on me and say nothing.

So the important thing for now is to decide if you would like to meet your Dad. If you would like to meet him then start by telling your Mum that you want to see your Dad. If that doesn't work, start being naughty. Learn quickly how to say no. You don't have to do anything anyone asks you to do if they won't give you your basic needs. You have a right to your Dad that you have to fight for. Most good things in life aren't freely given. They have to be fought for. Or, when young, have to be naughty for. I will be as naughty as possible too, but because I'm an adult, I can't get away with as much as children can.

There's no more important thing in my life than you so I'm not going away. I will just think of more and more ways of trying to be in your life. Let's give them so much trouble, they let you have your Dad at last! Yeah!

Love you forever, your Dad, Paul Chamberlain
