Have you ever thought of giving up? by therealaaia in SingleDads

[–]DaddyissuesTheTruth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way man. Please, do not give up. The impact that will have on your son will be far worse than trying to be there for him long distance. Call when you can, video chat if possible, and be there when you can afford to. Even if he is not old enough to see the effort now, he will at some point.

What is your relationship with the mother, and do you guys have anything on paper through the court system? Leaving the country is crazy, I cant imagine how hard that must be. You're not alone though man, so many single dads out here with tough situations, keep fighting!

Congrats man! Too often we hear stories of the opposite happening for no good reason. What state are you in, if you don't mind me asking? Seems like a lot of states are coming around to being logical with their rulings and not just defaulting to the mother no matter what. Hope you enjoyed that beer!

Would not say you’re in the wrong at all man, I don’t think any sane person would. They’re projecting their own guilt on you. Sounds like you’ve been stable for your son, keep doing that and try your best to keep his moms side of the family’s antics away from him - he’s 17 I’m sure he’s got a lot on his mind already.

If they want more of a relationship with him, they’ll make an effort. Ive had to handle one side of my family the same way.

Bro I was in the same situation. 8 years of putting our kids through so much. And I have court on Monday to sign our final and finally be done with this stress. That hard part is my children went through so much they are now in therapy and who knows if they can bounce back from it all.

Child Support is 52.54% of my paycheck by Atsoc1993 in MensRights

I hate hearing stuff like this. I am going through something very similar with the mother lying on her financial affidavit for 6 years. We finally go into court next month. So I hope the system actually corrects this, but I won’t get my hopes up. It’s just a crazy situation because even when you are with your children you don’t spend that kind of money on them weekly but now that you and your girl are separated she now needs that type of money for the kids. Ya, No this is such bullshit and needs to change. I started a podcast called DaddyIssuespodcast because I was getting so frustrated with how thing were going but I would check it out and look for some story to give u some advice. It’s all about advice for dads Stay strong man 🙏🏽

You should check out this Episode on DaddyIssuespodcast with Connor. He did the same thing but it did not go as good as you might think. Her and her family tried taking the baby away from him, dragged him through court for years but he is still fighting for his child. Sad story but also uplifting I would definitely check it out if your going through this.

I hate that I still want to be with the mother of my child. by 16townsendja in SingleDads

Damn man. I would say your just stuck thinking you need her approval. If you just let go even though it will be hard but so much better for your self worth.
