I am really sorry for you as it sounds as though you were ‘used’ for a purpose, to get a baby and then claim ownership. There are a lot of women who do that, men only serve a purpose to them and when they get what they want they move on. I only hope you keep up the efforts in trying to see your son because according to the charter of the rights of the child his rights are being violated by being denied his father in his life. I only hope he is being cared for properly because some women make appalling choices when they move into new relationships…

Since my son was conscieved I’ve heard nothing but lies from is mother. She lied to me about having a miscarrige , never told me of his birth, lied to me about his name, kept me from him for the first 2 years , accused me of bein abusive and threatening the life of my son. Then have her go on her marry way and move away like the relationship i have with my son didnt matter to her and did the court do anything about all the lies and help me get more visitation no. So all these public service announcements about being a father and being a good dad. what do those mean for those men like me trying to be a father period, and being kept from the chance to just be a part of our childrens lives.

Men only want custody then want to reduce support? Right, that’s why when offering a home free and clear to my ex but out of spite moved away? Fact is there are good and bad PEOPLE…and any parent that would keep an otherwise good parent from their child that first parent is not a good parent and indeed abusive.

I once wrote in response to a newspaper editorial which had raised the issue of the high incidence of children dying at the hands of the mother’s de-facto partners, the editor had invited readers response so I sure as eggs gave my tuppence worth…he refused to publish it saying my comments contravened the rights of single mothers to engage in relationships – here’s what I wrote:

“It appears to me that the one thing these children need protection from above all else is their mother’s taste in men…”

That was it and I reckoned it said it all in a nut shell and yet the editor came over all PC and claimed it would upset women’s groups…nothing will change until the causes are acknowledged and addressed. I understand your feelings Martin and the fact is that more children die at hands of unrelated males living with them than any other cause. I prefer not to call these men ‘stepfathers’ or even ‘boyfriends’ simply because they tend to be merely transient males in the mother’s life rather than long-term relationships. It is sad but these kids don’t seem to be a priority in their mother’s lives.

I am so angry at what hope has written, this kind of bile has damaged so many men and their relationships with their children. Thank god you stepped in with the voice of reason Hugh because I would have vented my spleen for sure. The overwhelming majority of children abused and killed are in the custody of THE MOTHER ! the mothers choose violent and sadistic men to live with and they look the other way while their kids are tortured, you only have to read these stories in the papers to know this!

Excellent article Wendy, this should really be in the national newspapers because it gets right to the point.
