I applaud all of you!
Not sure if this counts for this thread... but it feels as tho it should to me...
here's the story...
I'm a single mother... trying to make it with no help from my ex-husband... I have plenty of resources to turn to (womens support groups, single mom support groups, the DA's office for child support enforcement, etc.)... My problem is that I know a whole bunch of single fathers... who have their children at home, raising them alone... there are no single father support services.
How can a country that "raves" about equal rights, equal everything, have so few resourses for a minority that is growing larger everyday...?????
I have written all the "proper movers and shakers" and still nothing...
I have tried my best to help the single fathers that I know... do what they have to, need to to survive... I have even gone to court for some of these friends... trying to help them get child support enforcment, restraining orders and the such...
I have helped quite a few of the fathers I know get visitation rights amended (so that they can see the children they don't have custody of... they can see their children)...
I think single fathers, non custodial fathers, and men in general are getting the short end of the deal... because they are expected to be the "stronger sex" they are expected to do it all... with no support... no information... no nothing...
