Andi Eigenmann message to Jake Ejercito on their custody battle for Ellie
Andi Eigenmann decided to voice out her feelings using her Twitter account regarding their ongoing battle for the custody of her daughter Ellie with his father Jake Ejercito.
I still believe that real justice can prevail in this country. Even if you are up against a family w power and (lots of) money.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 20, 2017
Please prove to me that these people have hearts and it isnt all abt image to them.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 20, 2017
I take to twitter because it seems as though they only care to take notice when its their image at risk.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 20, 2017
The biggest mistake I made was choosing you, over anybody else, over and over again.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 20, 2017
These people are the same people who only think of themselves and not anybody else. Ever.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 20, 2017
Sucks to know that there really are heartless people in this world. Sucks even more to know they are the ones in power.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 20, 2017
I am not too proud to admit that i feel this way because i feel so hurt and deafeated. I feel this way because i love my child..— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 20, 2017
How do u find it easy to talk to someone who thinks u deserve 0 respect from them? This person doesnt even realise why it was hell w him.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
You made me hate myself even more than I already did. And you loved it.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Whatever reason you have for giving up, if u really love ur child, anything shouldve been possible. Anything should be easy enough.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
You had time. Why only now? Tell me, is this really about love? Or out of spite?— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Youve been doing nothing but sit around as u watch ur yaya do ur job for u and u think u can be a better parent?— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Or was this court case not your decision too?? Come on, grow a pair. This is why u lost me.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
How can I find it easy to respect u when u think that setting the mother up for a downfall is whats best for her child??— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Typical spoiled mama's boy move: blame everything on others and take 0 responsibility for it.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Shouldnt u know how impt a mother is to a child? Come on ur 27 and u still need urs to do everything.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Its been yrs, and ur 1st move as a dad is to take the child away from the mom to be raised by ur yayas? Come on mannn.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
You spent so much time trying to bring me down, now I guess its just fair that i start questioning YOU.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
I couldve ran away. But im better than that. I also believed you are better than this. My child loves you. Dont be that person.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
First of all mr. Jake Ejercito, it was only u and not the rest of ur family members that I was pertaining to.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
Second of all, I reached out to you, countless of times but your ego was just way more impt to you than your child.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
If someone from your side did reach out, it has always been your sister. Just her. And NEVER you. Masyado ka kasing mataas.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
I dont care about your family to have to talk about them, I care about your true intentions for trying to take my child away from me.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
I was a victim. A victim of abuse by you, Jake. That caused me so much pain that Ive already gone past.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
Stop accusing me of playing victim each time I voice out how I feel. Im not a victim. Im just no coward like you.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
Your response has just proved me right. You really only do care when its your image at risk.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
Jake, I have an awesome life w the man I love and my beautiful daughter. I dont need to play victim. I dont need to make this abt me.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
The point here is that your intentions for wanting to suddenly take my child (that nobody is depriving u of) are questionable.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
Cus if YOU are thinking of her and not just yourself, u wouldve thought of just being a better person instead of complicating things— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
If ever it seems Im making this abt me, maybe I am. Cus Im the one whos been working non stop to provide for my child..— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
.. and what you do is accuse me of neglect. Im the one youre asking to spend money on a lawyer that I cant afford. Im the one..— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
Im the one whos career youve been jeopardizing for my daughter, and you dont even realise how this affects my child.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
Lastly, Im the one who decided to help myself be happy, and to you, its still wrong, even when in truth. YOU KNOW NOTHING.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
You don't know me anymore.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
This isnt about who is right and who is wrong. I am aware of my faults. Always have been.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
Ive come to realise that it doesnt matter what good I do for my child. Everything will always just be wrong.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
Jake, if I ever said things to make it seem like I was gonna take my child away from you. That was cus I was hurt, and sad, and i loved you.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
Please realise that now that Ive no feelings for u, ive grown to be mature enough to make decisions solely for the well being of my child.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
And YOU, are very much a part of what I want for her. What's confusing is why you have to bring me down and insist that Im unfit, ...— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
.. Just for you to ask for that joint custody, that I very much want as well.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
Burning down other people's light to make yours shine brighter is such a stupid thing to do. I just thought you were better than that.— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 22, 2017
And here's a long message that Andi wants Jake to read:
Ive rediscovered this app, and while I now I actually can just throw shade at you infinitely, well, I wont. Because this has got to stop. This is the last time I will ever try to reach out.
Anyway, frustrations aside:
After letting go of all the pain from the past, and realising that anger is just such a bad habit that we should never keep, I believe that everything I had wanted for my child became more selfless and mature. Aside from the personal values and rules that I would like for my child to abide by, having her father there as much as he could is also at the top of my list. Because even though you hurt me (and vice versa) I still believe that you do love her so much, and that you want whats best for her as well. I may have found a better man for me, but that doesn't make you less of a person either. I guess we just weren't meant to be. Which is why, I also never want you to think that just because I have met the man of my dreams, it doesn't mean that he's taking your place in my child's life. No because I know its not necessary. I never judged you for not knowing what to do the 1st time we went abroad w you, cus I know it takes time. The world knows, I took time either. I do have reasons. But I will never blame anybody, including you for it because that's just pathetic.
While I believe its just safe to say that Ive come a long way as a person and most especially as a mother, I also admit that Ive never been close to perfect. It just saddens me to know that after all this time you cant even admit to any of your faults. And all you do is make sure to throw shade at me so that you'd always be above me. Even as far as sending me a petition for joint custody which basically just states that I am not a good mother when YOU KNOW NOTHING. And when asked why it had to be done this way, it's STILL. MY. FAULT.--Because you had your lawyer send me a letter (accusing me of neglect, and of not allowing my child to see you) that I ignored because as I received it, Ellie was already with YOU, anyway.
First of, I really thought you were better than hiring a lawyer to fulfill your duties as a father for you. I just found it so ridiculous that you actually went so far as this petition, when if you had only learned how to communicate properly, maybe then youd know that I want the same for her too. I wouldn't take my child away from a father that loves her dearly. When I say she cant, due to previous engagements, its true. And you choosing to never believe me, is on you.
So please dont blame me for feeling this way right now. Please dont blame me for feeling the need to defend myself because unlike you, it is only myself that I can rely on. I have no people to do this for me.
Jake, all I want is for you to respect my values as a mother. I just want her to eat her veggies even when Im not there. I just want her to value simplicity. I dont believe in (an abundance) of toys, and I dont think that makes me crazy. I even tell my child that while Ive been taking her around the country, Im sure you'd be taking her around the world soon enough too. I always made sure she knew that her dad is her real life prince charming. Your princess, my potato.
And then one day I wake up and receive a petition that insists I dont lend my child when she just came from yours. A petition that insists Im a bad mom. that working non stop to be able to provide for her is actually neglect. that making sure that Im happy and that I give myself the balance in life that every mother deserves, makes me unfit. Basically just a million of accusations about me as a person that you know nothing about anymore. I never even posted photos of the 3 of us cus I took your feelings to account. So please dont question why Im making this about me. Because this in fact affects me. I earn enough to give my daughter a comfortable life. And now I have to spend so much money for a lawyer to go against yours, even if it is just completely unnecessary. Now I have to jeopardize fulfilling my dream for my family because of you. I just thought you were better than this.
Im sure theres a higher chance that this letter would just be crumpled and completely diregarded but its worth a shot. Because while I gave up on our relationship, I will never give up on you as a dad.
You know, I have not forgotten about any of the things you did to me, but I have learned to forgive. I sincerely hope you'll learn to do so too.
Jake, for once, I really hope you would read (if ever this gets to you) to understand what Im saying, instead of just reading to figure out a reply that would shut me down again. Im not doing this because Im playing victim. Im doing this because this is the only way you'll ever notice me. This is the only way you ever did.
