Christmas Gifts for Anthoula and Alexandra that were supposed to be delivered 2024.12.25

Open Letter

My Dearest Daughters, Anthoula and Alexandra,

Yesterday, on Christmas Day, I arranged for a delivery of gifts and a hamper of high-quality food to brighten your holiday. The delivery, scheduled for 6:00 PM, was agreed upon with your mother. However, after a two-hour delay, the gifts were finally delivered—but instead of allowing them to be handed to you directly, your mother locked you inside the flat. She insisted that the gifts be given to her in the hallway and then falsely accused my contact of sharing video clips from previous deliveries online.

This accusation is utterly false. I have never posted any such videos on the internet. On rare occasions, I shared a couple of clips with your Aunt Svetlana and her family, simply to counter the lies your mother spreads—claims that I don’t care for you, that I am unwilling to be a part of your lives. My intention was not to provoke conflict but to ensure that someone close to us knows the truth: my unwavering love, devotion, and care for you both.

Anthoula and Alexandra, you are my heart and my world, yet your mother seems determined to erase my presence from your lives. She manipulates and deceives, attempting to turn others against me with falsehoods. My contact, tasked with delivering your gifts, sought my guidance when faced with your mother’s refusal. I instructed her to ensure the gifts reached you directly. However, I know from past experiences that your mother intercepts and controls everything I try to send, including heartfelt messages meant for you.

Unfortunately, their mother refused to let the presents be delivered to Anthoula and Alexandra in person.

This behavior is not just unfair—it’s a profound violation of your privacy and individuality. Only someone consumed by insecurity and a need for control would act in such a way. What she doesn’t realize is that, in doing so, she undermines her own integrity and self-respect.

My beloved daughters, I love you beyond measure, but I am now faced with an agonizing decision. Continuing to reach out to you may only worsen the situation and cause you further pain. For your sake, I must stop my attempts to connect, though it tears me apart.

Always know that my love for you is boundless, unchanging, and eternal.

With all my heart,
Your Papa, Nicolaos
