Glen Mcmahon was my 18 year old son's father. My son Sean never met his father. Glen was a alcoholic and violent. We last saw Glen on 12th August 1994. I went to a womans refuge to escape Glen. I was 22 and my son was 2 at the time. My son is now nearly blind in one eye as a result of his violence towards Sean as a baby. It took me 4 years in total to escape Glen. We never saw him again and had to move areas several times. When my son was 9, i got a phone call to say Glen had died from drugs and alcohol. It was awful and despite the fact i had no choice but to leave Glen for our safety, i realised my son's dad was gone forever and he would never meet him in the future. Sean is now 18 and has 2 photos of his dad which he wont look at. Glen is buried in St.Albans and i sometimes lay flowers on behalf of Sean. Sean only visited the grave once and now refuses to visit saying its like visiting a strangers grave. The guilt i feel about Sean never meeting Glen hurts me all the time. I know i did the right thing in leaving Glen because the violence was so bad he would have killed me or my son in the end. I thought Sean would meet Glen once he was a adult, but it never happened. Glen was only 38 years old when he died. This memorial i have created for my son Sean in case one day he wants to look at it. I hate Glen for the violence myself and my son suffered, but now that glen is dead, there is no point in hating him anymore. I just hope he is happy in heaven, because he was never happy in life. When someone needs to drink alcohol everyday and hit their loved ones, then they couldnt have been happy.
Sean's 18th birthday
Well, the big one is finally here 4 your son, he is 18 today and u never have known him since he was 1 and a half. I hope you can see him from above and realize what you have missed.
8 years today
Seems a lot longer than 8 years since you have been gone, thinking of Sean on your behalf.
Happy birthday in heaven
Hope you have a happy birthday in heaven. Sean has started his medication and i am hoping this will help him to cope with the loss of you and his other problems.
Went to counselling today with sean and he has now been given medication as he is so depressed and angry over your death.
I hope this medication helps him as i know he will never fully recover from never having had the chance to meet you and know you, but he has to move forward and be a normal teenager and adult.
I get all the blame for your death, but its not my fault, you took drink and drugs and overdosed, but he has no one but me to blame as you are gone.
I hope one day that sean can find peace and coem to terms with all whats has happened to him.
Sean is 17 now and just started at Oaklands college, he is studying business. I have to go to counselling with him every 2 weeks as he is still very messed up over your death and never having met you. He would like to meet his half brother Shane too, but we cant find him.
Your mum met him and was so drunk and abusive that Sean didnt want to see her again, that was in 2004. He has no contact with any family member connected to you and i think that makes him feel sad.
I hope you have found peace in heaven and i hope one day that Sean will find peace here on earth.
Seven Years........2009
Its been seven long years since you passed away. you are at peace now and its a better way for you to live in heaven. x
SO HARD
ITS NOT OFTEN I FEEL THE NEED TO WRITE TO YOU, BUT I HAVE HAD A BAD FEW MONTHS WITH SEAN SINCE HE TURNED 16. HE IS MIXING WITH THE WRONG KIDS, HE LIES, HE HAS STARTED TO CALL ME NAMES AND I WORRY VERY MUCH ABOUT HIS MENTAL HEALTH SOMETIMES.
hE HAS NEVER BEEN RIGHT SINCE THE DAY HE FOUND OUT YOU DIED. HE ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WOULD MEET YOU AND HE NEVER CAN AND THAT HURTS HIM NOT TO HAVE EVER SEEN YOU IN PERSON, OR HEARD YOUR VOICE. HE NEVER WENT TO YOUR FUNERAL AND HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT YOU WERE ABOUT. I KNOW WHAT YOU WERE LIKE AND THATS WHY I HAD TO LEAVE BECAUSE YOUR VIOLENCE TOWARDS US WAS SO BAD, BUT SEAN DOESNT UNDERSTAND IT THE WAY I DO, BECAUSE HE WAS STILL A BABY WHEN WE WENT TO THE REFUGE AND HAS NO MEMORY OF YOU AT ALL.
ITS ALL LIKE A BAD DREAM AND I FIND IT HARD SOMETIMES BEING A SINGLE PARENT TWICE OVER, BUT I MANAGE, I HAVE TOO.
I AM VERY DEPRESSED TODAY AND AS ALWAYS I WILL SNAP OUT OF IT SOON FOR THE SAKE OF MY BOYS.
IT IS SO HARD THOUGH.
ONE SMILE FOR ALL,
ONE HEART OF GOLD,
ONE OF THE BEST THIS WORLD COULD HOLD,
NEVER SELFISH,
ALWAYS KIND,
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY TO LEAVE BEHIND. X
