I think it's about time we unite as Fathers that are being treated like complete dead-beats. For the 96 hours out of a complete month that I get to see my 2 Daughters, they are treated better than their alcoholic Mother treats them and the sad thing about it is; My Daughters tell me that they hate their home, they don't want to go with their own Mother. What child on this planet doesn't yearn to be with their own Mother? I know I certainly did when I was young.
The Child Custody laws are so out-dated, unrealistic, biased (Openly) and no one seems to be concerned about this as an issue of failing families. I've worked in the construction trade for over 16 years and I've heard Men tell me some of most hanus, sickest terms of child support that all I could do was say, "Man, I wish there was something I could do to help you Brother", and the sad truth was, there wasn't. He and many other Men I spoke to about my personal case were put through the ringer just like I was. I'm not even going to get into my court case because I believe personal information should be kept personal.
I've struggled for (6) Years nows to make my $1,200.00 a month "Obligation", as a member of the Sheet Metal Workers Local Union #100, sometimes I get laid off and I have no way to afford a place of my own to live, so I live in my Parents' basement apartment and w/o them I'd be living in a shelter or sleeping on a friend's couch. As a 33 year old Father, this is humiliating and there is no chance of me obtaining a home loan with my credit being destroyed after my divorce. She left as soon as I took on a 30 year fixed mortgage with the payments at $1,479.00. I completely thought we'd be living there and I could watch my family grow and the whole thing was turned up-side down in 3 months time. Well, that's enough of my story, all of you Men out there who want to comment or join through using my email which I will post in each post, please feel free, because as soon as we have enough people power, we can take our protest to whatever State Capital You live near. I live in Maryland, so anyone in MD. please any Man that is fed up with the laws in your state that punish you for being a good Father and you're tired of getting a bad Rep on the account of a few bad apples, then please send me an email@ kickdrumkc@gmail.com.
