Hi, my name is Logan Brennan. I have a precious baby boy (2 years old) who is my WORLD! And right now, I’m faced with the unfortunate truth of having to fight to be a part of his life… Let me explain how I got here.

After getting out of the Army in 2020, I’ve had a familiar reality that many veterans face on a regular basis. Suffering from PTSD and adjusting to the civilian world has created unrecognizable struggles that has led to indescribable challenges. But that didn’t stop me from pursuing a career path in which lead me to help others, so after careful consideration, I decided to become a Registered Nurse. I started school in 2020, months after discharge from the Army and by a shocking turn of events, I successfully made it through a rigorous prerequisites program for nursing school, and shortly afterwards I was accepted into the core program. At the start of the nursing program, I struggled academically and wasn’t entirely confident that nursing was the path for me. After almost failing out of my first semester, I had the fortunate gift of a newborn son. As many expected, I would face many more challenges trying to balance being a new father and continuing the program, but the opposite happened. I was motivated to do better, and by the grace of God, I had a complete turnaround. I skyrocketed my GPA, became the President of both the Student Nurses Association and Student Veterans Association, and was set to graduate April 2023. 

Regardless of my academic success, I still face the struggles of PTSD daily. Resulting to an all-time low in October of 2022, where I had the unfortunate event of wanting to end it all and made a horrid decision by wanting to take my life by placing a firearm to my head. I struggled severely at this moment with the option to pursue a life worth living or to end all the suffering. As you could imagine, this moment came with a very dark and ugly side as my demons took the best of me, where my ex-wife had mocked me and recorded the entire situation. Fast forward to graduation in April of 2023, I made a complete 180, as I took treatment with the VA seriously, gave all I had to my son, and accomplished nursing school. Regardless of the progress in my life, I was in a very unhealthy relationship where I had concluded that divorce was necessary. I felt as if it became a struggle to build a strong mental foundation, which ultimately deterred me from being the father I imagined myself being. So, after my ex-wife’s domestic arrest, I filed divorce. At this moment, my expectations were to drop charges, move forward and ultimately push for a 50/50 timesharing arrangement, as I truly believe every child needs a strong father and mother in their life, regardless of the conflict between the parents. 

My ex-wife had a different opinion. She reported the video from the situation mentioned above that occurred in October of 2022, which ultimately led to criminal charges. So, at this moment, charges were dropped against my ex-wife and new charges were initiated against me. Since that moment, I have poured my entire savings, and exhausted all options financially to fight for my son in court and through criminal court as well. We both lost our rights as parents and have since fought for them back. Once reunification was set, we established a temporary parenting plan where we both have had 50/50. Creating a newfound relationship with my son has been an amazing experience as he’s my entire world, my pride and joy. Regardless, still, with the conflict between his mother and I, I have continued to stay strong on my outlook on being a father to my son and have truly supported the mother-son relationship she has. But once again, she has had a different outlook. She is currently attempting to take my rights away from my son and has ample support from her wealthy family to do just this. Which has left me high and dry and out of options. I have contacted many attorneys and the fees are ridiculous and I’m currently in a state where I feel I have no options, but to turn to my communities for help. I’m a great man, and even better father, and doing this would be a horrid mistake towards my very flesh and blood. I fear that financial support is what makes or breaks these cases, and I’ve found myself on the losing end of this. I hate asking for assistance, and none of it will be wasted. I plan to fight for what’s right and pay it forward and to always support others in need, especially struggling veterans. I truly appreciate any support, not just financial. I have an outpour of words that help me fight through each day. But unfortunately, financial outcomes seem to be a motivating factor within these cases, as it can bring strong representation. I’m asking for any assistance that will help bring justice to what I and my son both deserve. Any penny will help and I’m very thankful for ALL support.

Thank you and God bless!
