Why?

Why am I doing this?

Rashard has not allowed the family to have regular contact with the kids for over 5 years. He didn't let them have phones or an independent means of communication. He wanted to control all contact. Their uncle tried to give them phones, their grandmother wanted to give them tablets. Rashard always had a reason to say no. He could have set up parental controls if he was concerned about what they were doing on those devices. But it wasn't about that, it was about not letting those kids have contact with their family.

Have you all tried talking to Rashard?

Everyone has tried talking to Rashard. He gets an attitude and will hang up on you. And he has people around him who accept his foolishness so you can't get through to him.

What are you hoping to accomplish?

I texted Rashard the first day and told him I'd stop posting on his website and take it down once he apologized to our mother and grandmother for all the lies he's been telling on them. Our grandmother is 90 years old, and if Rashard has any decency, he'd apologize to her while she is still here to hear it. He hasn't called them to apologize so I'm still posting. I don't talk to Rashard at this point. His number is blocked, he can't call or text me. He's a coward and would send these long text messages cursing me out over the years. Things he'd never say to my face because he knows he'd get punched in the mouth. He hates on me because I do well in life and he's nothing but a bum who sits on his ass and lives off women and his children's benefits. So I just block him. But I'm going to let everyone who knows him and deals with him know exactly what kind of man he is. And I want my niece and nephew to know they have family out here who care about them and have been diligently trying over the years to have contact with them. I want them to have the best possible start in life. They have been kept sheltered, not exposed to the world or given the tools that will allow them to transition to adulthood. These are things the family could have helped with if Rashard didn't treat his kids like possessions and instead worked for their best benefit.

Rashard, you don't have to be a bum. Work hard like I do. Don't make lies up about how bad your childhood was. We grew up in the same house. Why am I who I am and you are who you are? More hard work, less excuses and lies. More better decisions.
