Product Description

In his book, "Please don't let me go Papa" Ricaardoe Di Done recounts his 16 year long struggle with various individuals as well as with the legal system, during which he fought with rigueur and commendable resolve to maintain contact with a son who may have otherwise never known his father.

Ricaardoe Di Done, by relaying his own personal account with his son, provides compelling insights into the reality that the separation and/or divorce of two parents has unfortunate, long lasting and often underestimated damaging effects on children.

This book contains a story which resonates with one indomitable truth: commitment to our children's best interest is the only option in ensuring their healthy growth and future success. Of primary importance is the understanding that this book is not about assigning blame or deciding which parent is best equipped to raise a child. This book instead unveils the realization that a child must never be hindered from the contact of a loving parent whom that child desperately wishes to see.

Too often a child's wishes are ignored or trivialized and the legal community is left to decide that child's fate at the exclusion of his/her expressed desires. For this reason, and for countless others, the reading of this book is paramount to social awakening and change.
