Initially, Daniel’s relationship with the mother of his now two sons
wasn’t that great. They lacked communication and weren’t
seeing eye to eye on many things. He didn’t allow that to
affect his relationship with his child, though, and spent
time with his son every moment he could.
Daniel found out about Brothers United during a job fair and then heard
about it again during the African American Festival.
“The persistence of
the outreach team that was talking to me and asking me
questions really talked me into giving it a chance.”
Brothers United helped Mr. Carter learn more about communication. He
realized that without communication, his relationship with
his co-parent would never be good.
“It taught me to
have a better relationship with my co-parent and grow a bond
with my child.”
Carter is now 23 years old. He and his co-parent got married after he
completed the program and they now have two boys.
“We both realized
that communication is really good for our marriage and
relationship. BU taught me to be honest and willing to do
anything to make your relationship work and have a good
relationship with your kids so that you’re involved in their
lives.”
Mr. Carter is back to working and is able to provide more for his
family. He’s more involved with his boys and is focusing on
continuing to build a healthy relationship with his wife.
“Life now is
looking better and stronger for me and my family.”
