u/Langston1113 here’s my story. Thanks for the little push to put this out. It took me a bit to think about why I’m even posting it but it’s healthy for me and maybe there’s some good discussion to be had. I want this sport to continue and people that disrupt by ignoring the consequences they create or have a disregard for basic human respect are not going to help the case. Never thought I’d be sharing it here publicly.

When I was 19 I took a contract as a DJ Producer in Latin America. At that age I had 3 things on my mind; pussy, pussy and more pussy. I knew the production company was paying for services or even we would ourselves. Some nights it was drinks and brothels or some nights in town at my apartment in calls. It’s incredible the amount of fucking you can do at 19. Occasionally I’d go home with someone from a show but it was fucking drama getting them out and I wasn’t about that at all. Fast forward a year into it and I was doing more blow and more hoes. Starting getting way too fucked and got dropped from shows which resulted in less money and less savory girls and some careless decisions on my part. Eventually my body couldn’t take it anymore, and some of my fam came down and did an intervention.

A month after coming back to the states I get a phone from this girl telling me I got her pregnant. I felt sick to my stomach, I was trying so hard to clean up my life and really thought I was free and clear. She asked if I would pay for an abortion. The cost was free but she needed about $300 for meds and other needs. What does my dumbass do, I panic and tell my mom 🤦‍♂️. who convinced my blubbering ass it was a scam so I told this girl to fuck off.

9 years later this girl finds my mom on Facebook and sends pics of my kid. The second I saw that face my stomach went right up my throat. The message said come get your kid, I can’t take care of her anymore and I want to be free. At that point I immediately called an attorney who gave me 3 option; Ignore it, Pay for it to go away, or get DNA tests and man up but risk huge financial problems. I opted for DNA knowing that I was really just confirming the obvious. 10 years of back support and 8 more on the line and maybe even my marriage in the shitter. DNA cost about $1,500 because they had to take official samples from the kid in a U.S. Embassy. Of course the US Embassy told the mother they didn’t believe her and they see this scam daily. Finally results came back as DNA tests do and said 99.999997% chance it’s my kid. At this point I had already started working with a Krav Maga trainer and getting myself physically ready to go to SA. The circles I ran in while working as a DJ Producer in SA were very intertwined with yay so I assumed this woman was somehow connected to that world (I was right).

Well the day finally came, I was going to visit and meet her, I was the most physically fit I’d ever been in my life. I had 20k with me because I had a feeling the mom just wanted money and I was absolutely right. I got off the plane and walked through customs and knew the second I laid eyes on that kid that she was now the one thing I had worth dying for. Well I spend time with them, have dinner and after a few days of reading between the lines, it’s clear the mom wants either a free ride to America (marriage) or money and to make matters worse she knows her rights. After the US Embassy gave her the news, they absolutely fucked me and told her all about her rights.

So much became apparent, my kid was 10, a girl and her mom still running around and partying. If something hadn’t happened to her, it was only a matter of time. She was neglected, malnourished, dressed in dirty clothes and scared. The mom was catching on to my despair and the fact that I wanted to get my daughter and run. So she laid down her cards and asked for 50k to sign over rights. Now, if there’s one thing I’ve learned is you can’t always play fair. I half convinced her I was ok with it and we started the process. The US Embassy finally got on board and helped (in fact one of the ladies took me to dinner 😂.) They got a passport made and refused to give it to the mother. Finally an upper hand. I got a custody agreement for 9months with me and summers with her mom (I got full custody in the states). My people at the embassy said run and don’t ever bring her back. I had a final meeting with the mom to get the kid and who the fuck shows up but a bunch of Brazilian thugs (not in brazil). All with handguns on slings. I go in the house and when I see what’s happening I point outside to the truck with 2 soldiers I hired to accompany me, (thanks us embassy for the hookup, fyi this is legal in many countries). I told the mom I wasn’t paying anything but I would give our daughter the best life possible. Honestly my most badass moment of my life. Stupid and lucky yes. Really I gave her no choice. I think the threat was obvious that I wasn’t playing and I would do absolutely anything. (Just think in real life I’m a dungeons and dragons playing dork with an MBA, so this was an epic act.)

Anyways the mother and my daughter came with me to the house I rented, I paid for a guard to keep an eye. (She tried to leave with my kid) The next day we went to the airport and my daughter has been with me ever since. 13 years now and she’s my tail and forever my baby. She would talk to her gramma nearly daily and even her gramma as her dying wish begged me to never let my daughter return. In fact my daughter went to visit her mom when she was 19 and what does she do, they go visit base factory! Not shitting, in the middle of the jungle with people grinding coca leaves. I lost my shit obviously.

Well my kid knows I like to party and is great at keeping tabs. We are going to EDC in Mexico in February then EDC in Vegas just her and I. She is making me wear an apple tag so she can find me. Life’s good.

I can’t and don’t regret any of it for obvious reasons now and I’ve certainly paid for my share of deletes that I also don’t regret. I certainly don’t judge anyone, mistakes happen and the price is low to fix right away. The cost for ignoring it is very high, maybe not to you as a buyer but certainly it creates a victim that you had a part in creating. I get it’s most likely a scam when they call and say they are pregnant but, the thought of what my daughter would be doing had I not known or fought for her just makes me sick to my stomach. Maybe check the price for deletions before that bbfscip or just get snipped like I finally did! With Mexico and Columbia planned for this coming year and who knows whats next, I gotta be ready. This might be time I stop lurking on here and start posting.

If anyone’s got advice for Mex city I’m all ears! I speak Spanish but have never been to Mexico let alone MXC.
