Well People 🙂
I consider myself very new at fatherhood, new to the issues of being a separated father and new to all of this.
However, I'm like a dog with a bone when it comes to my son, as im sure most of you all are too. I'm defiantly an advocate for fathers rights and I can see this issue becoming a huge part of my life.
I wanted to share something with you. I am aware that some of you may already know about what im going to talk about, but having done it, i feel great! from it.
So, if I can somehow give anyone on here some positive hope then i will as I want to give something back to the forums.
I joined FNF a few days ago, this then enabled me to find out about local meetings that were being held in my area.
While forums are great and I'm always on them, nothing beats actually meeting other dads with smiler issues. I attended a meeting last night and left feeling so much better and with a much better outlook and fresh ideas on how to deal with my problems.
Guy's I advocate looking in to it, it really is empowering feeling.
I hope this helps some of you on here.
John
I'm a great advocate of FNF and whilst this Forum is No 1 in my eyes for its caring, sharing attitude, and the wealth of information within its pages, I can fully appreciate the direct face to face support that the local branch meetings offer, and am always directing our members to its webpage, so for any others that are encouraged by Johns post here's a link to the webpage where you can find a branch meeting in your area

Thank you NJ, in my haste to get the "news" up online, i forgot the most basic thing about putting a link up.
I agree, this forum is great and i'm an advocate for it and I think i'll remain here for a while to come 🙂
I'm glad to hear it....as I said this Forum is No 1! 🙂
I fully agree with you both, this forum has soo much information and support.
Face to face meetings are very good too as you can see for yourself that there are lots
of others in a similar position.
In my short time here I have already encountered good advise, help and support.
how do I find out where these are
