So....even though it hurts your feelings, you agree with me.

When push comes to shove, you gave up because of money, rather than pursue custody.

Okay, so what are you doing now? Are you working toward increased custody? Are your children on your calendar? Are you keeping in touch outside what the court set (assuming you've not been barred from additional contact)?

Cause I can tell you one thing. If I lost a custody, partial or full, in a court case there is nothing on God's green Earth that would that would male skull away and whine about how unfair the courts are yet do nothing to rectify.

If my parental rights were severed and I was barred from her life in every way....at thr absolute very least she would have a trust available to her at 18 for her education and a letter delivered explaining things and asking to be part od her life again now that she's an adult and can make legal decisions for herself.

Whatever I could provide for her would be done. Full stop.

I don't know you. I'm not trying to attack you. Maybe you are the rare father who actually does go the distance.

What I do know is that I hear a lot of complaining from men about court favoritism and being prevented from being a dad from guys who, frankly, never showed up in the first place. They treated fatherhood like a part time gig for whenever they felt like it and tapped out every time they didn't.

I hear a lot about court favoritism from guys who ONLY want access to the kids in order to harass, punish, jerk around, and torture the mother. They don't give a rat's ass about the kids. They treat their own flesh and blood like disposable patsies. A means to an end.

I've also known a handful of fathers who did what they had to do to get custody because it was the mom who was selfish, dangerous, or not interested in parenting.

Let's not pretend that it not usually the other way around. Look at how many men start a new family and then conveniently forget all about their children from that previous marriage.
