Sunday, June 28, 2009: Good morning Samy! I hope my Princess is doing great today! It is Sunday morning. A week has passed since Adriana Coronel Tenorio (AKA Adriana Howitt Coronel, Ari Coronel, Ari Coronel Tenorio, Ari Howitt, Ari Howitt Coronel) deliberately blew us off for Father’s Day. I learned quite a bit from last week. While my excitement of being able to see you is at an all time high, I realize how crazy Adriana really is. It is unfortunate. I have tried to separate my feeling and thoughts about Adriana from this journal for you. I wanted to make sure I kept this about you and me. And what we have been doing to bring this situation to a peaceful conclusion in hopes you can still have a relationship with Adriana. Those two worlds have collided in the last couple weeks.
Adriana was probably coached to make contact with me and see if we can reconcile or come to some sort of agreement on how we can be parents for you. There is no way she would have done that on her own. I was careful to only ask questions that I already knew the answers to just to see if she would lie to me. I come to find out Adriana really has no idea what kind of trouble she really is in. She has not been able to tell the truth about a lot of the things she has done that we already know about. Even after we told her we have investigators watching her every move, she still lies about everything.
For instance, when Adriana abducted you and had stolen everything out of the house and moved into that small apartment near the beach. She lied about what really happened there. When we found the house, she had all the furniture set up and the satellite dish on the roof. She had no intention to go anywhere for awhile. Yes it was small, but what could she really afford? She was not working. That next week when I ran into her friend in Tijuana, Adriana freaked out and moved again to hide just a few days later. We know this because the person who owns the place lived right next door and told us the move happened in the middle of the night and she never paid her rent. Adriana is telling us that it was a friend’s place and she was just helping all of you out while she figured out the bigger plan.
Adriana took great joy in telling me all the fun she was having since she abducted you and left me alone in an empty house. She was in Canada and the Dominican Republic to name a couple places. What she neglected to mention is that she was a prostituting herself out in both places. I let it be known the hell I have been through since November 10th. I told her how I spent Christmas, and your birthday. Adriana denies ever getting the emails I sent her to try and see you for the holidays. That we know is a lie.
Adriana was able to justify why she did not follow through on her commitment to us and even added that you had a great day without me AND you probably would not remember me anyway. She never did go hang gliding that day like she told me. She tried to tell me the weather was bad. The truth is the weather could not have been better for hang gliding. Another lie by Adriana. She told me that she extended HER birthday celebration instead. In typical narcissist fashion, 1-day for her birthday was not quite enough. She celebrated her birthday for a whole week! I am not even kidding Sam. That’s what she said.
It hurt not to see you, yet I should have not been surprised. Half of me was ready for the let down. Adriana’s words have been meaningless as time has gone on. I don’t mention that to be mean. I think the facts speak for themselves. Adriana’s actions are always completely opposite from what she says she will do.
It was interesting. We talked about the almost 8-months since you have been gone. I confronted her about running twice. Like I said before she denies why she ran a second time. She even stated that she could have hid if she wanted to. She wanted her space. She needed her space. Yet she was telling me about all the fun she was having. That does not make sense. I asked her why she was trying to be nice to me now? Was it because she really feels bad or was it because she got caught? Oddly enough it was not until after she was caught that she started to play nice with us. Of course she denies that too. I think the facts speak for themselves.
The funny thing is that she admitted to everything about the abduction. I have it in writing Sam! She lied about what she had stolen from me but that that was to be expected. I got her to admit what really happened in the days leading up to November 10th. I felt good about that!
We tested Adriana to see how serious she was about resolving this quickly. We had an opening to do the DNA test this past week and get the process started. Adriana said she did not want to do the DNA last week even though we would have paid for it. Again, her actions speak louder than words. We FINALLY take DNA July 6th in court which is not that far away. I will finally get to see you then! The point was that the courts take a break for 3-weeks starting July 16th. It’s only taken 4-months to get the DNA. What is another 3-weeks right? The process from there was to come to a custody agreement for the summer so I can spend time with you and from there work on a permanent custody agreement.
It sounds so easy. Hardly. I have some big decisions to make in the next 4-months. There is a lot to do in a short period of time. Stay tuned for all the details as they come. Father’s Day validated all the work we have been doing here Sam. I wish it could be different with Adriana and I. I am not sure if I will ever be able to trust her again. What Adriana did defies all logic. What she is doing is not healthy. Adriana has a great opportunity to change the course of action here. Unfortunately history shows she is not capable or willing to do the right thing.
So…
The 4th of July is coming up. This time last year we were planning a family vacation to the beach home in Ensenada. I’ll write more about that trip in the coming days. It’s sad to know there won’t be more of those trips because that was an amazing time for everyone. I love you very much Sam! Many kisses!!!
