Fathers 4 Justice

[dolallylass]

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it galling that these fathers are scaling building and yet some dads can not get out of their commitment to their kids quick enough??

Where is Mothers 4 Justice crusading for more contact??

I am so sick of doing it all and having to take what my xh can offer graciously (well as graciously as I can muster!!) and then listening to how fathers need more rights. I know there are some fantastic fathers (my neighbour is one) but there are many fathers who leave, drop responsibility and then try and ask for gratitude for the little they do!!

Seriously is there a Mothers 4 Justice or are we all too bl**dy busy??

divastrop -sorry to hijack here- but did you get any response on your other thread?

That's absolutely right Xenia. How I've approached it is exactly that way and I tell dsd "there's no right or wrong way, we just do things differently and that's fine".

And you're absolutely right too Divastrop. I hate the way step-mums get tarred with the same brush. We weren't all "the other woman", we don't all have issues with the xw, and when we talk about them it isn't always from a position of spite.

And maybe, Dittany, the reason step-mums aren't supportive of the xw is because those xw's are painting the step-mums as witches and won't accept their support or are openly hostile towards them. I think it goes both ways. I have never had an issue with dsd's mum and rose above all her insults - but I found it very difficult to remain objective when she was threatening to assault me and telling me she hoped my baby was born deformed.

And for the record no I wasn't "the other woman".

well said surfermum

For the record, I wasnt "the other woman" either. I met DP about 20 months after separation.
However DP's ex was off to pastures new less than 2 weeks after she ended their marriage. Nice

soz I meant Nice

sufermum thanks

silverforg no I think I was right to show them how upset I was but I was not quite my usual balanced self in those days and have given myself permission to have made mistakes in a situation where I was learning!

Dunno about this, Id give my ex a good slap if e came home late.
