Legal Fee Tip Jar
Within a week of the book being published, Resenting Joy already will be in front of a judge twice. Why? It's simple, certain people don't want the information public. The book is trying to be silenced. If you feel called to support this fight, thank you from the bottom of my heart.Contributions help cover legal, publishing, and court-related costs tied to Resenting Joy, including print expenses, missed work, and the time required to prepare and proceed pro se.Before I had to fight these batlles alone, now that I've went public, I have the support of everyone behind me. This is a battle that I believe can be won. Even small contributions add up over time and are helpful.
About Resenting Joy
Resenting Joy is the book I wrote because staying quiet would have been its own kind of lie.It is a nonfiction memoir about family, fatherhood, heartbreak, survival, and what it feels like when your name, your role, and your reality are being pulled out from under you in real time. The book tells the story of what I lived through from 2022 to 2026, and it is based on real events, real people, and documented communications and records.This is not a revenge book. I wrote it because truth matters. I wrote it because my sons deserve to know who their father is, not just what other people may have said about him. I wrote it because I wanted there to be a record, one grounded in lived experience, accountability, and evidence. As I say in the book, anything that could not hold the weight of evidence, I left out.More than anything, Resenting Joy is about a father’s love. It is about accountability, finding out how much truth a person can take, the dangers of chasing perfection, the dissolution of ego, and continuing to fight for your children even when the system, the circumstances, and the people around you seem built to wear you down.If the book speaks to anything beyond my own story, I hope it speaks to every parent, especially every father, who has ever felt pushed aside, doubted, or made invisible.This story is mine.
