i don’t understand why y’all think the little girl didn’t write that letter. i was 8 years old reading at a 6th grade level, writing stories and songs. they both said she is very in tune with her emotions. children aren’t dumb. you’d be surprised how much they communicate when you talk to them almost like adults and allow them to express themselves.

[@RosalynnAnne]

It’s because they weren’t articulate as kids. They think every child is below average.

[@taytriggs9065]

He full of excuses. I’d rather not have someone around my kid who is present but not paying attention. That feels like a greater disservice. I’d rather you just stay away.

[@selfesteemqueen]

Agreed

[@rosamondmaylor5558]

Exactly. Why pressure someone who does not care. Ladies take care of yours. Never force a man around a child who does not want to be there. Don't put that energy around a child

[@modest8782]

I agree, but it's so unfortunate for the children who want their fathers around... They don't understand how to deal with that...

You cant force a person to be a parent, no matter how hard she tries

She said “it started with him treating her horribly back in 2013”. Soooooo you proceed to have a baby with him and you’re shocked because his behavior didn’t change once you had your daughter?

You can't force someone to be a parent I tell my daughter this very same thing everyday.. if this man is going to step up and start being in his daughter's life it is gonna be because he made the choice to do and not because he getting yelled at about not being there...

Bingo!

[@dom7345]

He not gonna change unfortunately because he doesn't want to in his heart. He views his daughter as a task, or a chore, or a burden instead of his child who he needs to nurture and love. He's so defensive because he KNOWS he's a fck up, but instead of just fixing it he becomes even more defensive in his life and pushes himself further away from his daughter. I hate that too many of us can relate to how his daughter feels. There came a point in my young life that I just expected by dad wouldn't show up, and he proved me right. He missed my childhood and didn't try to have a relationship with me until I was already an adult where he no longer had responsibility. By that point, it's often too late. The damage is done. Don't be that guy. That statistic.

I understand the mother wanting to hold him accountable and to keep the lines of communication between him and her daughter, but she can’t keep allowing him to be inconsistent in their daughter’s life. If from this point he doesn’t show improvements, she’s going to make some hard decisions & get her child into therapy so she can grieve the loss of the father-daughter relationship

[@selfesteemqueen]

As someone who has worked on talk shows as an intermediary for parents and teens, I hate that she read this letter aloud. It’s so performative and, I really question if she even wrote the letter.

[@selfesteemqueen]

You cannot guilt someone to become a parent. I feel line a lot of his reactions are based on the fact that she’s stuck in the past and his personality is laid back and they can’t get a reaction out of him…. I’m sure he wants to talk to his child but doesn’t want to deal with the mother. Lord watch who you sleep with.

[@ILoveMyPistons00]

If anyone can't tell you what your child's future may look like and it doesn't shock you into parent mode then you shouldn't be a parent. Children learn from watching and not from words.

Over the years we were good friends he died in 2021 from cancer. His wife allowed me to come visit him a year before he passed away, beautiful woman pure soul.

Never force a parent to be a parent. Never say negative comments about the parent in front of the child. Never make promises and not keep it. Stop bringing up the child support because a child really knows who is doing the job as far as support. No arguing with the parent or abuse one another. Protect your children at all cost. You don't need a child acting out because of something they might of over heard or seen. I don't like it when parents talk bad about the other parent , all it's doing is damaging the child they act out and their grades go down.

He seems a lil drugged out and distant..I wouldn't try to force my child on anyone..father or not he is a grown man..Her daughter could have wrote the letter and she direct her on what to say and said don't ask about it so the daughter wouldn't tell him who's words they really were

[@CandaceOekawa]

Honestly that child wrote that letter. My “ aunty” daughter was saying “pampers saturated” at 1 year old when she wanted her pampers changed because my aunt was teaching her children words from the womb. Some children know words and can express themselves.

[@taliacotton6833]

Tbh I believe she wrote that letter! But you can’t force a man to be accountable nor to get or be around her!! People failed to realize that that’s where abuse starts and it’s damaging towards the child!! I also don’t do the talking down on the other parent because I want my child to have their own feelings towards the situation! I pray there’s growth in this because people don’t realize when they’re hurting the child more than eachother!

[@willybeama1]

He doesn’t care about his daughter. Can’t force love unfortunately.

[@allisonburton3395]

He’s so full of excuses and she’s controlling and doesn’t let him speak. She holds alot of anger towards him for the choices SHE chose to do to pick up his slack in hope that he gets his sh** together smh. Girl move tf on and handle your sh** as a mom bc you’re a mom and that’s it. Let him be a deadbeat and just teach your daughter the best you can and love her as well. He clearly doesn’t care

[@lichellewalton9276]

I been married over 35 yrs. Worked at a high school and worked for a group home. I will say the mother puts a lot on the daughter and has guilt and hurt from what the mother says since she will not let the father speak. I'm not on no one side but if you listen she has an emotional and pissed off side IJS

[@lisajackson6009]

Dude you are absolutely wrong!! My son is 33 years old with 2 little girls who thinks the sun rise and set on him!! His father was a deadbeat!!! Dude step up and take care of that little girl!!!

[@Springshowers03]

My daughter has a biological donor just like this... gets mad with me and blocks the child.. Went 4 plus years not talking nor sewing her.. then saw her foe a couple months. Started making demands like her was dad of the year.. got upset amd and walked away. She has a wonderful father that has been their for her since birth!! And he shows her unconditional love!!! Hes there financially emotionally and physically... so she dont have ro experience things like this

[@danigomes7879]

This is why you shouldn’t have children just because you can.

[@ItsUrGirlAR]

It's a waste of time from him but the mother needs to learn how to communicate without getting all extra, it intensives the entire situation but she's too blind to see beyond herself. He's punishing the daughter because of the mother. So sad.

[@markydan1232]

I tried to be on his side because I'm a truck driver and only get to see my kids one week out of the month. But he had an excuse for everything. Christmas and birthdays are the same day every year, you show up dude.

[@emilyb2036]

my mum had to force my dad to take me on his weekends too. And he wondered why my self esteem was low. We don't talk anymore.

[@TheDijahDiva]

This man wants a cookie for one child support payment?

[@sinailemor467]

Shut up and Let the man talk!!!!! SHEESH!!!!

[@shaunanacole]

The mother was making things 10× worse. Every single time Karamo tried to talk to the father, the mother was mumbling stuff in the background. You can only imagine what she does when she's not on T.V. She us going to ruin any kind of relationship he tries to have with his daughter.

[@chiloveradiouncut]

If the Daughter wrote the letter, the Mom should've just handed it to him to read.

[@modest8782]

Some people make co-parenting much harder than it is...

[@nunulavish3153]

The daughter did not write that shit lol 😂 she a trip for that one lol

[@kellydahiana4179]

That man is saying in numerous ways he’s gonna step up; and he keeps getting confronted, give him Space to act 😩

[@mkxv]

I need her to calm down just a little bit. She's overwhelming

[@peacefreedom4930]

Am I the only one that picked up he’s more worried about not being with the mom then he is about his child. He wanted to be with her and have her take care of him. When he couldn’t he walked away from his daughter too. He doesn’t care or he’s using his daughter to punish his ex.

[@stephaniecarter5281]

He definitely just has a thousand excuses.

[@vibewithtiana]

I did 4 years ! Holding down: and he left to go to Texas after I had his baby

[@RiceLaboratoriesandScreening]

Karamos' body language when he first came out spoke volumes. He has no respect for this man. He usually stands for everyone

[@professordavid2008]

After reading that letter her daughter “wrote” and Karamo asks the father what he thinks about the letter, he should’ve said “please woman you know you the one who wrote that.” 😊 But honestly, I’m glad the father is stating his mind about feeling attacked for ratings because he’s he was wrong for missing out on his daughter’s life but at least give him a chance to truly express himself…suffocating that man by not letting him speak. I mean come on!

[@modest8782]

Yeah, I think the mother was so eager to get everything out, that she could, because she knows the father wouldn't listen to a second of it if they weren't on the show...😁

[@ACEKYNG_]

You don’t think that an 8 year old can articulate their emotions?

[@modest8782]

@@ACEKYNG_ If you're talking to me, I know first hand of some eight year olds that articulate themselves very well...

[@rubyjaez]

Right, it was hard for me to watch. Karamo should've told her to chill out. She was doing too much

[@iamthatgirl_]

It’s literally a kid I’m sure she can write and express herself you men always speak but never own up to your shit he was a bad father and he made excuses he was barley in the kids life and that should be enough to say he’s a bad father cause good fathers wouldn’t even think of walking out of there children’s life without putting up a fight

[@apriljean8285]

Men like this are emotionally absent and they are more harmful to their children.

[@tjoybell8448]

He wants to get back together with the mother, so he is punishing her by abandoning his own daughter. I know this oh to well! I told my children that he may not be a good father today but he may be a wonderful grandfather someday. It came to fruition.

[@Beautybymori]

Why would you birth a child by someone who treated you horribly during your relationship

[@Myshelleallen]

He’s full of excuses !!! If he doesn’t want to be a dad let him go about his business !!! No need to force it. The mom is extra though 🙄

[@briannaduffney1745]

Karamo is such a nice dude❤
