Maury...

Sometimes I wonder if this stuff that Maury puts on his shows could possibly be real life situations?
When I look back at some of my real life experiences, I realize that it is possible.

Matthew, your mother told me that I wasn't your father nor would I ever be! You repeated this over the years. I questioned the validity of paternity mostly because of your mother's statements. Then I looked back to the volatile relationship that your mother and I were involved in. Looking at the conception date vs your birth date, paternity is highly suspect.

Regardless, you deserved the right to have a father who loved you. You deserved the financial support associated with having two parents. I fulfilled only one part of that responsibility after your mom and I split up.
Even after the split, for many years I sent birthday cards, other holiday cards, presents and additional money to you. You will undoubtedly claim this isn't true. I saw and recognized that your mother would stop at nothing to destroy our relationship. I took precaution and sent most items through certified return receipt to your mother and to you. After having years of refused certified mail being returned to me and spending every dollar I could get my hands on to try and keep you and your sister connected to me, I had to walk away. I needed a life. I needed to spend the rest of what life I have left taking care of me and following my new dreams!

These are my thoughts for now.

PS-I kept many of the letters, cards, and presents sent to you and your sister that were returned to me, unopened and sealed which shows the dated post mark from the post office. I kept the refused certified receipts as well. Your mother can always deny this but it is only undeniable as long as you hate me.

I love you both,
