[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 431304, member: 6705"] I can tell you a little bit about [I]some[/I] of those dads. Hardly all of them. Maybe not even most. I don't truly know; I just know a few dads who would give their souls for their kids. Anyway. [I]Some[/I] dads - well, they and the children's mother couldn't hack it. So they split up. However it happened. Doesn't matter there. What [I]does[/I] matter is when mom refuses to let the kids see their dad. Tells them awful things about him. Gets a restraining order based on false allegations. Or maybe just moves the kids away and when they ask, shrugs and says "I don't know where he is". So the dads aren't there. Now there are always the true "deadbeat dads" - the ones who give the good guys a bad name. Star's ex comes to mind. ABSOLUTELY! Of course... If the parents could agree... Maybe they wouldn't be divorced. But the kids sure don't deserve the fallout... Family members - including step and adoptive parents, siblings, grandparents, even cousins, aunts and uncles. Friends. We're all trying to help the kids. And sometimes it feels like there's just too much damage and they will never get past their baggage. [/QUOTE]
