A Mother’s Fight After Parental Child Abduction

In this heart-breaking episode of The Forties Formula podcast, hosts Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim sit down with DAYLIN LIMONTE, a devoted mother whose life was forever changed when her son, Caleb, was taken by his father and never returned. What began as a routine weekend visitation turned into a years-long cross-border fight that tested every limit of her faith, strength, and endurance.With honesty and grace, Daylin opens up about the pain of loss, the struggle for justice, and the challenges of navigating two legal systems that often fail to protect victims of parental abduction. Through her courage and unwavering hope, this episode sheds light on the harsh realities of family separation and the enduring power of a mother’s love.Behind every missing child is a parent who hasn’t stopped looking. Behind every court case is a family trying to heal. And behind every story like Daylin’s is a call to action to make sure no parent ever has to search for their child alone.---------CHAPTERS00:00 – Episode Snippet03:03 - A mother’s nightmare begins05:19 - The search for answers06:47 - Living with uncertainty and confusion08:01 - A pattern of control12:34 - The early signs of hope and hesitation16:58 - Advertisement: The Meat CLub19:16 - The reality of custody laws in Singapore24:20 - The legal complications between Singapore and Malaysia26:00 - Finding strength in self-care27:45 - Next steps in the search for Caleb: Visit helpfindcaleb.com to support the search.29:07 - A message to her son31:23 - The hidden reality of child abduction31:00 - The emotional toll of not knowing what Caleb has endured33:18 - Advertisement: Cozy Earth34:10 - The questions that haunt Daylin38:18 - The what-ifs and mother’s intuition40:09 - Spreading awareness and protecting childrenSpecial Thanks to Our Sponsors:🥩 The Meat Club – Get $12 off with code TFF12🌯 Guzman y Gomez – Butter Chicken is here!
