I am in the middle of a problem with overnights with my kids due to a claim made to DSS by my sons pchycologist on a wild story reported by him two years ago. originally I was a house husband who was home with my kids 24/7 for 4 1/2 years. Wasn't it a surprise to me when my wife after commiting adutrey ended up with my kids. I was put out of the house on a trumped up restraining order that the officers present that evening even said was phoney but they had to comply with due to state law and have been jerked around ever since. I think that it's time we had an equal rights movement for men, especially those facing these kinds of attacks. It would be nice if we could get some kind of legal support to help us remedy these antiquated divorce laws as there are many fathers going through the same indifferance and abuse from state agencies and court systems. Lets organise and do something to get the ball rolling as my kids are very important to me!

Really enjoyed the site. It's great that dads have a place like this to go. I too am a divorced dad with 3 boys, 12,8 and 5. But I've been one of the lucky ones who ended up having the Ex turn out to be a good friend. Although we do argue from time to tim , I could never imagine spending most of my time in court. I truely believe that both parents need to keep their differences away from the kids and work on creating a relaxed enviroment for the kids. Lord knows they're having a tough enough time dealing w th mom and dad not living together! Parent's may think they have hurt feelings, but multiply that by 100 and that is what the kids are feeling. I guess it just comes down to putting away the foolish pride and pettie arguments. The marriage is over, deal w th it and move on, but keep the one very important promise.... Always love the children.

I'm interested in reading more about what others are experiencing emotionally and financially when their wife suddenly surprises their spouse with a legal separation agreement. I have signed such an agreement but now wish that I had sought legal counseling before I did. The reason, at the time, was mainly because of my financial situation at the time. Any helpful suggestions from members would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for letting me comment, I am a divorced dad, 3yrs and running, I have one 7 year old son, I was granted joint legal custody, presently I am lucky to get to see my son twice a month, I live 5 miles from my ex, she won't let me talk to him on the phone, and never notifies me of an of his activities so that I may see him at his karate lessons, school activities, etc. I am pursuing custody of him, based on her past criminal record a year ago, 7 felony drug and weapons related charges, just to name a few. I have been extremely frus rated with the "system". I think I have a good lawyer though. The psycotherapist I've taken him to because of his trauma seeing his mother destroy his belongings, house and being busted has identified some interesting facts, one of which, my son's desir s to live with me and not with his mother, he attempts to minimize her, and never brought her up once during the time whe was incarcerated, he never wanted to go back to her. she demanded him back after being released from the halfway house, and threaten d my life if I didn't comply, I gave him back, since then I rarely get to see him, I have a court trial date very soon, I pray that it works for my son's best interest and my own. Please keep me in your thoughts. Tim

I was very fortunate in my divorce and have felt like I would like to share my story with others in order to help them a d the kids in their divorse situation. This is the tool to do that.

Combined with instant access on the web I hope to make this dream happen by contacting anyone and everyone who can and hopefully will make a difference for me and other fathers like myself, who are thought of as money machines and not viable to there childrens development.

I am a single-custodial father and have been a single dad for 18 months. I found your sight to be very meaningful to me. I do realize that I am one of the fortunate fathers who have not "lost" their children due to the divorce. I have alot of empathy for fathers who can't see their children at will and have learned alot about how not to be with visitation between my children and their mother. By the way, my children are 3(girl) and 5(boy)--so if anyone has some advice on "surviving" I welcome it. Great site--I will visit quite often. God Bless and keep the good work!

As I am a student and I don't have any marriage experiences, I am wondering why so many American people divorce even they have kids. That's why many teenages crimes are a lot these days. I am not a American but as long as being in human, everybody has to ave responsible. Care about kids future.... I don't understand why so many people divorce. I believe that marriage is not a such a playing game and have kids.

Actually, I'd like to get some help finding a divorced dad's support group in Tampa, Fl. where I live so if anyone's got ideas let me know. After 20 years my wife just basically said "I'm not happy, and you have to leave and take care of me financially the rest of my life." That's Florida law for a wife who refused to work becasue she prefers to play tennis everyday while I work. Of course, she keeps the three boys too. Says I "What did I do wrong....I mean there was no adultry or nothing" She responds "You don't give me enough attention." I've been married 20 years and she refused to work for 20 of those years so she could raise our three sons and go to aerobicsa and play tennis. So it's my responsibility to keep the family finacially solvent. Which I do, but to stay in the race you've got to run at aminimu speed, otherwise you're out of the game and there's no job or income and then it's *my* fault if the finances fall apart, because she was too busy to work. I coached each one of my sons in Little League. The oldest one twice. But say's she "You're a shit father because you don't give your family enough time." What the h**l! I ask my sons 16, 15, and 12, "Did I give you enough time?" "Yes, dad" But their opinion doesn't matter to the omniscinet mom. Hollywood, really has it all wrong. There are plenty of men out there who do their best and end up getting the raw deal from a wife who has lost touch with reality -- but the law is on her side.

Am really tounched by your story. I left my husband when my sons where you son's age and my divorse was later final when I was 6 months pregnant with my 3rd son. My X was a playboy, using and dealing drugs, always in and out of prison, so I really did ot have a choice but to get out or it would mess up my life and my sons. I never talked to them about the situation and I never really thought about how they felt, only how I felt. So I am sorry for that. Thank God we are fine now and survived it after all ;-)

Great place!, Good layout, nice to hear from the women as well. I am a divorced father of two. Luckily, and only after 3 years of separation, my ex and I were able to put the concerns of our children first. THEY had a desire to live with both of us, so they do! I built a home only 1 1/2 miles from their mother and they live alternate weeks with each of us. They are very happy, well adjusted, and have the support, balance and harmony of both their parents. I know my situation may be different than alo of others. But I honestly feel that the 3 year cooling off period, and dealing with a rational person, allowed us to still remain "friends". The communication lines are pretty good, sometimes things are forgotten and an eyebrow is raised. Please remem er, no matter what the atmosphere is between you and your ex, do not communicate things between yourselves through your children! It is not their responsibility, it is yours.

I am so glad to see something like this on the web. I'm a divorced parent of two children and have remarried to a man who also has a child. Right now we are going thru a lot with all the "resentments" from the other parents. It is soooo very hard on th children. My two never see their fathers due to the fact that these two men have disappeared! My husband is trying to get his visitation with his daughter but his ex holds a very deep resentment for something that happened 8 years ago. It is horrible or the children. We are really having a tough time with it all. Any suggestions or ideas that you think might help us would be much appreciated!!! My prayers go out to all those who know what I am talking about!!!

After 25 yrs. of what I thought was a good relationship and 3-children, my wife decided that she didn't want to be married anymore - She wanted to 'Find Herself'. After being devasted by this, I then found that I had NO rights and she, as the 'loving mot er?', has all the legal rights. Even though I did most of the cooking, cleaning, child care, school activities, home maintenance, income providing (she said I made it easy for her to find a life outside of the marriage) NY State considered me as 'pond scu ' and her a 'Queen'. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest!

I've found your pages of great interest, but I wish I were one to gain comfort from the sharing of an experience. As you will see on my homepage, along with the alimony, child support and inability to see my son, I must live with the guilt that I can do l ttle to protect my son from a sexually abusive and manipulative pedophile; his mother. I hope to overcome the guilt someday and to welcome him into my life if and when he choses to return. In the meantime, I vent through my homepage and continue to visit his and other related sites hoping for solace and possibly helpful advise.

I am going through a divorce at this time. The marriage has been shot for over three years. We had a lot of counseling, but I really feel the my soon to be ex-wife found a counselor that encouraged her to follow through and "be happy". What I am really upset about is the attitide she has. She is more concerned about herself than the two kids and I. She originally left me with the kids and returned when the court awarded her the house back and primary custody of the kids. I hate it. Problem is, I would take her back for the kids sake, which I know could be a disaster down the road. Thanks. This sight has given me some great enouragement and hope. God bless.

I am 38 years old, have been married for 10+ years, and have two sons, ages 5 & 1 1/2. My wife and I have had marital difficulties for 7+ years since our infertility problems in 1990. We have been to over 10 counselors over the years both individually and jointly. We separated for three months in 1994 and for 7 months recently from 11/96-6/97. I moved back home on June 13th into the guest room(where I still sleep)when my wife broke a bone in her hand and was unable to do her share of the childcare. We have always had a 50/50 relationship as fas as caring for the children as I have a lot of flexibility with my work schedule that allows me to be fully involved with my children during work hours as well as weekends & evenings. My wife feels we can create a new relationship that would be satisfying for both of us, but I don't agree so we are stuck! Her anger is now being displayed in front of the children and she has health problems that she blames entirely on this situation which is "all my fault." I am struggl ng desperately with the hopelessness of this situation as I don't want to be divorced(because of the children), but I also dread the thought of staying in a marriage with no intimacy, physical or sexual attraction, or mutual respect. HELP! Thanks,Ed

While it is heartening to read that there are many others in similar situations, I don't find a resolution here. If anything, my resolve is stronger to bring an end to all of thsi suffereing by means other than within the legal system. I read "Ode to Dads with a tear in my eye. A copy of this should be sent to every judge that sits in a divorce and/or custody hearing. Someone just might finally realize that a lopsided system is the best way to destroy our future generations.

When I think of my kids and I'm all alone in my trailer I often cry because I love them so much. It has been almost 2 years since the divorce and it still is not easy saying goodbye to them. I live for the time that I spend with them. Those times are very special to me as they are with all dads who love their kids. I never really understood what love was untill I had my two little ones. the things that they do and say sometimes make you laugh and make you cry. kids do and say the darndest things

Another good web reference point for divorced. I am a custodial dad (as well as being a non custodial dad) and posted to that forum last night but it does not appear. I also sent another e mail to you on the subject of handling guilt but it was returned. I have resent: it is about realsitic gulilt, unrealsitc guilt and forgiving. I think you would be interested. Alhough I do not have my own web site I post a lot on MSN Survivors Forum BBs. Please get in touch.
