RE: This one is personal. It's for the dads whose kids have been taken away.

in #fathers8 years ago

dude I totally get it. Worst divorce ex made terrible claims threatened to have children taken away. Got to the point where I almost couldn't fight anymore. Reverse discrimination at its best. Devastating for my kids. For fathers who don't have the means to fight back.. I don't know how they can survive.

Sort:  

Yes, that. Been there, had to borrow to buy the t-shirt. But let's not go too far down the rabbit hole here. I've painted the picture pretty plainly I guess already. So let's get the community talking about what we can do to solve it?

There is no remedy a this point. That's why men aren't getting married anymore.

You don't have to be married to suffer from these kind of painful impossible situations. Unmarried dads can have an even harder time getting their parenting rights legalized. And this so painful, speaking as a grandmother, who has no rights to this child.

I've seen that show live in person. And then there is DCS, in many states taking children from BOTH parents over something like a minor marijuana violation.

It's societies fault, it's the state's fault. It's a fault we need to find and fix in every place it exists in the ecosystem of families and traditions.

and isn't this why we are participating in steemit? because greater things are possible?

government power over our lives was given at some point but I see that the block chain has the POWER to change all this.
Will it bring our children to us?
No, not in the near future.
But it will eventually give the state less power and that power will come to us (libertarians)...a goal of the 60s finally coming to fruition

Honestly, my 25 year old daughter and her BF have been together like 6 years, bought a house, and have no intentions of marriage as far as I can tell. Asked her, she said, why do it? It's not worth it.

Kids are over 51% from divorced homes or single parent homes now. Add in the effects of divorce on their mental states, outlooks, philosophies, and they don't have the paradigm or construct to understand the benefits of partnership in marriage, and they are also increasingly anti-state establishment, and I'm more okay with that- why get paper for 30 bucks to prove their love to their "bae", which I am told means baby, but also Before all else". Then some are gay or lesbian or whatever, or something lifstyle wise that averts from marriage as well, all compounding interest every year that they age and gorw in numbers out there. It's not just men. It's most of them.

why do you think they want to open up boarders (replacen dwindling population) They just don't get it (beuracrats). They will understand when they keep importing dangerous culture that will destroy their cushy fantasy life anyways

Hadn't really gotten that far out of the radius around my daughter and I or any father and their child to consider that thought. That's certainly another direction I suppose one could go in this conversation. I'm just concerned with dad's rights at home. Society at large needs to solve it in this country , borders or not is a bit beyond the scope of the problem I'm examining. But I hear your point and your passion too.

You're right it's beyond the scope of this conversation. In order to make the game fair again you would need to move from the extreme socialist left back to somewhere in the middle. I don't see it happening unfortunately. In family court the pendulum usually swings with the mother side of things.

Okay, I am going to say I'm right WITH you there. The left is no friend of traditional family values.
