At least they could start their life with their eyes open.
Again, women are not bad people. However, we have created a situation (marriage, divorce) that gives them absolute power, which corrupts absolutely. I also have a stepdaughter and a foreign exchange student - both 15 year old girls. I love them very much. One of my greatest fears is the destruction they may do to their future family and themselves because of the unhealthy power that the left wing femin-nazis will give them.

Dmac, you have every right to be fustrated, and kudos to you for saving your son from that terrible situation. I can totally relate to what you are saying about absolute power, corruption, and useless bureaucracy.
However - keep in mind the system in place today is founded to protect the children and is operating on some very basic and proven principles. Historically, men are the most common perpetrators of violence against women and children. Men also make up the largest percentage of abusers and sexual offenders. It is exceedingly rare to find a woman who would purposefully or willingly put her own children at risk or in harms way - unfortunately the same cannot be said for men. For good or bad, men tend to think with either of their two heads, women usually stick to their hearts.
Unfortunately, your situation (dad's home better than mom's home) is not the norm and you had to fight to get it right. I'm not saying the system is perfect, obviously its not, but looking at historical evidence, it is setup for addressing the most common situations. Best of luck to you Dmac.
