Two of my daughters are Twins. They wanted to live with me and for that, he punished them by cutting off all communication with them. This is very sad, children need both parents.

I feel like a part of me is missing.”
- In May 2022, Kasia expressed her situation through an Instagram post. She wrote,
I have been struggling with posting this on my IG but after getting so many messages of support and how so many parents are in the same situation……I decided to share my story. First, a man should never disrespect the mother of his children and vice versa. No matter how mad, upset or jealous or spiteful the father of my kids is …………. I am doing whatever I can to provide, protect, love, raise, feed and educate the girls like no one else will. I’m not perfect but I try my best.”
She added,
Children should NEVER be used as victims or pawns when the parents can’t get along. The father of my children Prince Abdulaziz Khalifa Al Thani has not paid one cent for child support for a over a year now to help me support and raise our children. In my opinion this is outrageous, unfair, embarrassing and a real shame. No matter on what financial level or status you are …..it’s really immoral because again the kids are the casualty …. However, it’s more humiliating when you are a billionaire prince of QATAR.”
