My son is eight years old. I've been a single dad and have taken care of him since his mom left when he was two years old.
I had a nice family before we moved to San Diego, California. My step-daughter was doing good in school and everyone was happy except for my wife, she couldn't get used to the boring country life in my hometown of Spearfish, South Dakota. I was in the Navy before, had a great time in San Diego and thought it would be a good idea to move there again.
California is nice, just don't ever bring your beautiful Thai wife there. She'll find a richer more handsome dude! That's what happened to me anyways. When we split up, we felt it was fair; son with dad, daughter with mom and I moved back to Bangkok with my boy.
Life as a single dad in Bangkok was awesome. Life as a single mom would probably not be so good because I had so many women willing to help and date me. ๕๕๕
After my son was eight, I thought it would be a good idea for him to go live with his mom and sister again because his Thai was way stronger than his English.
After a couple months my rich judgmental Jesus freak family found out that he wasn't going to school and was just eating hot pockets every day. ( I had no idea because I was still in Bangkok.) They asked me to sign a "guardianship" form which they told me was just for insurance purposes. I had no idea I had just turned over full custody to my dickhead uncle and his rich wife.
Once they had all his paperwork, the guardianship paper, passport, and birth certificate they asked me to leave and blocked me from seeing him.
I obviously freaked out when I found out that I was tricked and made enemies of everyone in my family. They are all dead to me. I would't even go to their funeral to piss on their graves now.
I'm a good dad. I miss my son and I know he misses me. So getting to the title of this article, my goal is to get my son back. With Bitcoin and Steem really low right now it's a bit difficult, but I believe in the blockchain, Bitcoin, and Steemit. I'm confident that after a year or two of consistent posts, some Bitcoin mining, and EOS going up I will reach my goal of rescuing my son from the Jesus freaks.

Hey man, what a touching story. Even if I've not been in such situation, I feel you. Because I also have a goal and I wanna make it happen. While you got out from a relationship with a Thai woman, I'm getting into one. But I feel she worth it because the way we met. My goal is to go to Bangkok for at least one year to spend more time with her and get closer to her family. We met while I was doing an internship program in South Dakota. In fact I wish you the best, and hope you can get your son back.
What are the odds.. Thai women in South Dakota?
Hahaha we were doing the same internship program...
Welcome to steem community ..
What a story. What a mess. What a nightmare to live through that. You've got me rooting for you.
While it's unclear when the Crypto bear market ends, it will. And in my opinion, while I'm no financial adviser, you've picked the right coins. Either Steem or EOS (I'm glad you hedged your bets) will rule the social media of the future, and Bitcoin's brand is by a million miles the strongest of all the deflationary currency-only no-other-use-case coins.
Hang in there, and good luck!
Thanks @rodneysreviews. I appreciate your support and crypto point of view.
you are a great dad

The app didn't work very well on my iPad so I used chrome on PC.
The suggestion is, you should delete the old app and install the new one, maybe it will help.
