“I can’t see why she would continue to hurt me by not allowing me to see my boys,” he said. “This isn’t right. If I don’t see my children for eight years, that would be some bullsh-t and I would fight for that right!"

He added, “Who in their right mind would allow children to be away from their father for eight years, regardless of where their father is in the world?”

Parks confirmed she is filing for divorce from her husband during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in October. And though Nida made claims in November that he and his wife were working their issues out, her rep told RadarOnline.com that her hubby’s reconciliation talk wasn’t true.

Nida said he is hopeful his wife will rethink the divorce plans. But if she doesn’t, he’ll find a way to recover. “If she leaves, it would hurt like hell, but as Apollo Nida has done before, I’ll just have to pick myself back up and move forward and figure it out,” he said.
