I'm betting Levi Johnston had no idea things would turn out this way. Since his split from Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol, the 19-year-old dad has had to fight to spend time with his infant son, Tripp.

Johnston, who has been on different media programs to talk about the state of affairs between himself and ex-girlfriend, Bristol Palin, claims the Palin family has been trying to keep him from seeing his son, Tripp, 3 months. Levi said he always felt like a part of the Palin family, however, that has all changed now.
As well, Levi's mom Sherry, says the Palins are refusing to allow her to see her grandson. She wants to meet with the Palins to work out a custody arrangement.
Sherry said in a perfect world "everything will be reconciled. [I hope] we can get together, if for no other reason, [than] for Tripp. He deserves to know both grandmas and grandpas, and aunts and uncles. And mom and dad."
Levi's mom, who faces six felony counts of possessing and selling prescription OxyContin said, "I had a really rough summer." She said the birth of Tripp "was what kept me going. Just waiting for him."
As she softly cried, Sherry said, "I mean, Bristol and I talked about it a lot. Just like, 'Well, you'll have Tripp soon. And he'll be there for you.'"
Sherry is hoping and waiting to be able to see her grandbaby.
Levi, on a recent appearance of The Tyra Banks Show, said he's allowed to see his son, however, the Palin family won't allow him to take Tripp outside of their home or let him have "alone" time with his baby.
Listen, neither family is perfect, however, I have to side with the Johnston's -or actually, baby Tripp, on this one. That precious child, like Sherry Johnston said, deserves to know both parents and both sets of grandparents. Just because the Palins are more well-known, and perhaps have more money or clout, doesn't mean they should get to control the whole situation.
Levi said he may consider taking Bristol to court to be able to exercise his parental rights and that is probably what he'll have to do in order to be an important part of Tripp's life.
