Tired and hurt but hope in his heart. | I am eight years old. I live with my mum in England. |
|---|---|
| Dad lived in a caravan nearby for a while, but now he has gone away. | |
| I have lots to share with you, about what I like and fun things to do. | |
| You should also know about mum and dad and their horrible divorce.
Let us hope that it doesn't happen to you! |
In post-feminist, industrial civilisation, fatherhood is under siege. Dads have become marginalized parents, shunted into the role of subordinate breadwinners: Slaves to self serving matriarchs in our new-age nanny state society that provides for, protects, cherishes and idolises females of the species. This unnatural culture brings untold emotional, psychological and financial hardship to loving fathers and to their children.
My aim has been to contribute constructively to family relationships for the children and parents of broken homes, but as events in my own falily situation unfold these objectives continue to evolve: Following acrimonious separation, came a bitter legal battle to re-establish contact with my son, but as I write a few years on, both of his parents are cooperating so that he can come and live with his dad for a change. If nothing else, may it inspire hope, but it also means there is experience to draw from and the wisdom of hind sight to help you and others avoid or overcome 21st century family crisis. Where to start? Perhaps you like to join me on a quest for the meaning of life, or make some other selection from my list of contents.
