Hello everyone
Been a while since I've been here, hope you are all coping. Well I reckon that I've reached the end of my road and the situation with my ex is worsen than ever. Absolutely dreading the journey and fall out ahead. All I want is my daughter.
I just wondered if the community here feels if anything is actually changing in favour of fathers. Occasionally I see am article from a judge condemning mother's who break orders etc, but on the whole it seems as though nothing is improving. Everyday I am in utter disbelief that women can continue to behave this way.
Can anyone see any light ahead? :boohoo:
Utterly depressed and just about holding it together
Regards all.
Stuart
It is a very slow process - I got custody of my children 8 years ago and my barrister told me at the time that legally speaking, I was something of a freak as it was quite rare for fathers to get custody, especially as my ex had originally had custody. Since then, I've seen a few dads on here get custody and parental alienation seems to be slowly starting to become recognised, but it's still very early days, and I can see it being another generation before real change has taken place. However, there are still plenty of success stories, so it's always worth continuing.
