“I’m sorry I wasn’t the dad you wanted me to be, but anyway I tried and I’m still trying and I’ll never stop,” he wrote. “I will keep trying even when, as an adult, you are told not to answer my phone calls. I will try even when it is difficult and if it takes a long time. I will always be here and I will tell you all the time. It is your voice or voicemail of how proud I am.
“I always had a wish and it was for my children to call me and come see me. Hopefully one day I can get it. I’m here and I’m still trying to pick up the phone. You have my number. You’ll see. I call, I’m still here.”
He added that he watches her compete in the National Women’s Soccer League.

“I think everything has always revolved around him. He’s been through m…, but at the same time, I think he loves being the center of attention. He loves the cameras. He loves taking his kids on stage and saying : ‘Oh, these are my kids.’ All those things and even the mind… the fucking mind, but, for me, emotionally, he put me through something like, oh my God.”
