Replies to '03/23 Nasty Custody Battles'

As a dad of 3 boys with a angry ex, I have finally given up and told the boys (two of whom do wish to be with me) I will no longer see them.  I watched this show and am glad I made the decision to never remarry, since this would just build the already tense relationship to a crescendo.   My ex, like many women, are not satisfied with life, unless it is completely controlled by their agenda, compromise is out of the question.  The problem with many people, and my estimation for the expanding divorce rate in this country, is primarily due to the "womens movement" and the selfishness (both male and female) that followed the "me generation".   

My story is about the same as any, with the vicious legal battle, false accusations of abuse, missed visitation due to "the boys have plans", and the like.  Then more court battles where visitation denial by the ex went from contempt of court to "you need to communicate more".  Men do not have the courts favor in any matter pertaining to visitation, fair settlements, or divorce in general, and Dr. Phil will never show that on this show.  Instead he picks cases which push the social agenda; that men make bad fathers, poor choices, and violent partners.  I bet he is either lying about how he and Robin get along, or represses his own feelings and plans and is totally "whipped" for lack of a better word.  There are men out there who genuinely care about their kids, (I know I do) they pay child support, and still get the shaft from our society and courts.  All due to of a minority of those "bad fathers" who set precedence in the rotten, corrupt, court system in the United States. 

My only hope for our boys and myself will have to lie with the wonderful government agencies who are now burdened with their upbringing and support.  Its some wonder the Bible states "God hates divorce"!
