I have to agree with both trains of thought on this one . . . . To just accept the wrongdoings of the courts will only serve to empower them further, and also maybe encourage them to gain even more ground than they have. But to fight them, an individual risks losing that which is most precious (BTW why do most women not realise how strong a Dad feels for his own kids??)

It's a very difficult situation . . . . I went through that meat grinder, and I can't help feeling that if I hadn't behaved impeccably I may have lost contact with my kids as I was being painted as a headcase (I was interviewed by child protection cos my eldest lad read a university rag mag and laughed at some of the jokes. Luckily the judge told the opposing counsel to shut up when they tried to use this)

On the other side of the coin though, is the feeling of inner rage at all of those people protected by the system stabbing you mercilessly whilst they try and drag your kids away. Most men with a pair know what I mean . . . If ever the lights go out and it becomes every person for themselves, they're in for a taste of savagery they wont expect!!

I'm 44 years old . . . . my priorities are seeing my kids through uni, and trying to set up my last 30 - 40 years to be as pleasant as possible . . . I can help in my own way, but unfortunately going head to head against the system is beyond me.
