INCD Family Recovery Home

Here is. QR code to support our efforts to obtain counsel and find a lawful way back to Augustus’s older brother Bobby.

10/06/2026

We’ve rebuilt so much of our lives, but there is still someone missing from our everyday family life: Bobby.

Mandy and I have been clean and sober since June 12, 2025. Gus is home with us, we’re helping other families through our recovery housing program, and we’re continuing to build a stable future. But we deeply miss Bobby, and Gus misses his brother.

We’ve created a GoFundMe to help us obtain a family law attorney. Our immediate goal is to understand our options and work toward reestablishing consistent contact and visitation with Bobby, with his well-being at the center.

Asking for help isn’t easy. But this matters too much for us to stay silent.

If you can donate, we would be grateful. If you can’t, please share this post—or connect us with an attorney who may be willing to offer reduced-cost or donated assistance.

Thank you for helping our family take the next step toward reconnecting. ❤️

Hate never comes from above. It comes from people disturbed by the fact that you refuse to stay beneath them.

So, yes—we know some people are watching.

Keep watching.

You’ll see a family that pays its obligations, protects its home, serves its community, and continues building something meaningful despite every obstacle placed in its path.

You’ll see people who document everything, know what they agreed to, stand firmly within their rights, and refuse to be intimidated for doing nothing wrong.

Recovery teaches us that protecting our peace matters.

It also teaches us that unresolved pain can spill onto people who did not cause it. When someone feels powerless in one area of life, they may try to regain control by directing hostility toward someone else.

We can understand where behavior comes from without accepting it.

We can have compassion for someone’s struggles without becoming the target of them.

We can offer kindness, resources, encouragement, and genuine support—but compassion does not require us to tolerate intimidation, transferred anger, or mistreatment.

Your pain may explain your behavior. It does not give you permission to make someone else pay for it.

We have learned that when people cannot find misconduct, they sometimes start searching for technicalities. When they cannot discredit your work, they question your intentions. When they cannot stop your progress, they watch more closely and hope you make a mistake.

But scrutiny does not frighten people who operate with integrity.

We are not hiding.

We are not backing down.

And we will not apologize for working, providing for our family, supporting people in recovery, or building something that helps others regain stability.

We have asked for nothing more than honesty, accountability, and for everyone to honor their responsibilities. If the right thing had been done from the beginning, much of the conflict could have been avoided.

Our response will not be retaliation.

It will be documentation, accountability, firm boundaries, continued service, and success.

Protecting your peace does not always mean remaining silent. Sometimes it means calmly making one thing unmistakably clear:

Your pain will not become our punishment.

If you are watching—watch carefully.

You may learn something.

I made this video to bring awareness to those of you who understand how much trauma this can cause families that are going through it. It is never okay to manipulate the situation and use children as leverage in adult conflict. I also feel very passionately about individuals receiving equal access to legal resources!

Supervise visits are more than appointments. They are opportunities...

The Grief Nobody Talks About

People ask us why we keep fighting.

Why we keep researching.
Why we keep reading court records.
Why we keep telling our story.
Why we built INCD.

The answer is simple.

Because some losses don’t end when a judge signs an order.

Some losses don’t happen because someone dies.

Some losses happen while the people you love are still alive.

Our family knows what it feels like to mourn living people.

We know what it feels like to lose our son Bobby through circumstances that left us powerless.

We know what it feels like to fear losing Augustus—and then to spend every ounce of ourselves fighting to bring him home.

We know what it feels like to have someone who has been like a father to me my entire life—my Uncle Orby—suddenly removed from our family’s life. Not just from us, but from our son, who lost an uncle he deeply loved without ever having a voice in the decisions adults made.

Children should never become collateral damage in adult conflict.

Siblings should never lose each other because adults are fighting.

Families should never become disposable simply because life became complicated.

People often think these situations end when the court case is over.

In reality, that’s when another battle begins.

You read transcripts.

You study reports.

You revisit every hearing.

Every allegation.

Every accusation.

Every visit.

Every goodbye.

You search for answers that may never come.

You replay conversations in your head a thousand times, wondering if one different sentence could have changed everything.

The world keeps moving.

Birthdays arrive.

Holidays pass.

Family gatherings happen without you.

People slowly stop asking how you’re doing.

Some don’t know what to say.

Others decide it’s easier not to ask.

Eventually, the silence becomes its own kind of loss.

There is a kind of grief that has no funeral.

No casseroles.

No memorial service.

No permission to mourn.

Psychologists sometimes describe it as ambiguous loss—grieving someone who is still alive but no longer part of your daily life.

To us, it has always felt like something different.

It feels like death by a thousand paper cuts.

Not one devastating wound.

Thousands of tiny ones.

Every accusation.

Every insinuation.

Every rumor.

Every denied phone call.

Every missed birthday.

Every empty chair.

Every family photograph missing someone who should have been there.

One cut doesn’t destroy you.

But thousands of them slowly bleed you dry.

People often say, “Just move on.”

Move on to what?

How do you move on from people you still love?

How do you stop being a father?

How do you stop being a mother?

How do you stop loving your child?

How do you stop missing the people who helped shape your life?

You don’t.

You simply learn to carry the weight.

That weight is one of the reasons Mandy and I built INCD.

Not because we believe every parent is innocent.

Not because every system is wrong.

But because we know what it feels like when families are overwhelmed, isolated, unheard, and drowning.

We know what it feels like to need someone who will simply listen.

To explain the process.

To help families make sense of what they’re facing.

To remind them they are still human.

If our story accomplishes anything, we hope it reminds people that behind every case file is a family.

Behind every court order are children.

Behind every allegation are human beings whose lives continue long after the paperwork is filed.

This message is dedicated to Bobby.

To Augustus.

To Uncle Orby.

And to every family mourning someone who is still alive.

We see you.

We understand that kind of grief.

And we hope one day more people will understand it too.

Parents overcomplicate visits.

Kids don’t.

👉 They don’t need perfect.
They need YOU.

Run. Laugh. Be goofy.

That’s what they remember.

Keep it simple.
