    My fiancé, best friend and partner of 7 years- Michael, suffered for 30 months w/no visitation back in 2011-2013. He was successfully reunited with his 3 sons, who at that time were 4, 12 and 14. The last 5 years have gone somewhat well. Now the two eldest are 17 and 19- and have “chosen” not to speak to their dad. This is coming with strong influence of their mother. Michael has handled both situations which such strength, class, patience and grace. He’s a phenomenal communicator, and has helped other Fathers we know that are also suffering through PA. I wrote this to you, because we are going to the PASG2019 and hoped you could possibly direct Michael to whom he could sign up to speak to other parents, mental health and/or legal professionals during the conference. Michael’s story is tragic like all the others, but it’s Michael’s resilience, passion, positivity and outlook on it all is inspiring. We are also looking forward to being a part of your wonderful posts. Thank you! -Sara van Duyvenbode and Michael Piro- Winter Park, Florida USA
