Austin Gabriel the son of actor Derek Ramsay expressed his sentiment in a form of a letter regarding how his father treated him and he also exposed what kind of relationship his father have with his mom Mary Christine Jolly.
The said letter of the 11-year-old Austin was published in the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) website in a form of a photo.
The letter of Austin expressed his disappointment how he was discouraged over the situation with his dad. According to him, he don’t deserve of the ill situation knowing first that he is just but a kid.
“I am very sad with what is happening to me and my mom. I don’t want to experience all this I am just a kid. I don’t deserve this I have been reading a lot of terrible things on the internet and I just want Derek to stop making my life so difficult,” he began.
It is noticeable that Austin did not use to say the word “Dad” as to properly address the actor with all respect to him. But he said, “he doesn’t deserve it” signifying that the young boy truly hates the actor since he disregarded his mom and for not being a “good father” to him.
Through the letter, Austin also expresses how he learned about his father’s conduct, affairs and the things in life his father interests most. But more than that, the letter of Austin revealed his disappointment with some unanswered questions.
Below are some of the questions Austin wanted to address by his father:
“Derek has so many girlfriends and I read that he even bought one of them a car. Derek is so obsessed with money and cars more than his family. Don’t you know that family is more important? Why didn’t he get me and my mom a car? Am I not important too?” he asked.
The little boy grieved so much of their situation that even takes away his concentration from schooling. In his letter he also said, “I cry when I see my mom cry. Derek is a liar. He always lies. He lied saying I was not his kid. Why would a father do that? What did I do wrong?”
Austin seems could not contain his dismay over the situation away from the presence of his father, he said: “I cry all the time. He never came to any of my school activities while other dads were there,” noted the boy.
There is no good word comes out of Austin’s letter but words of hatred to his father. Anything Austin was telling in his letter does not mean he is a bad boy. Austin expressed his love and support only to the person valued him most, to his dear mom. “I hate seeing my mom suffer. She works do hard to take care of me. I can see how much she loves me. My mom is the best person in the universe. She tries to give me the best life. I will never leave her.
“My mom made a mistake marrying such an evil person and I wish he would go to jail so he would finally know what it feels like to be treated with no respect. The truth will prevail not his lies,” he said.
Aside from a controversial letter of Austin, he also make a drawing that depict their present family situation. In his drawing appeared he and his mom a “love land” while he juxtaposed it with a drawing of a man behind bars which he labeled to be Derek.
