Then again, I've seen it happen (pretty similar anyway). It's important that we keep in mind here on the evening of Father's Day that in our system, MEN. DO. NOT. MATTER. Sorry guys, but fathers don't. Our system kicks males in the nuts again and again and again, telling us in ruling after ruling that our sole purpose is to go out and accrete as much money as we can so that it can be taken and "redistributed" to people who know best what to do with it - kids' moms or government bureaucrats.
I'm sorry to pile on here but CB's gut-wrenching story reminded me of a close relative's divorce that I got dragged into the middle of a couple of years ago. Hole-Lee-Fuk. Seeing what happened blew my mind. So utterly, totally one-sided and (eyes opened) I became aware of how common this is. We men do not matter one bit in the eyes of our system when it comes to our role in the lives of our kids. I am very, very lucky I have a good relationship with the people that matter to me and I am also very, very lucky to be single!
Scary stuff. I really hope you're okay CB man... Wow.
