NATIONAL FATHERLESS DAY RALLY

As many of my readers know I am a member of Fathers-4-Justice. The past week I have been talking to a member of F4J-US and he told me about this idea he has. I think its amazing as it is not just for all of us Fathers but for everyone. Many children these days grow up in single family homes and many feel that they never get to know their fathers. Many grow up thinking that their father may not love or even care for them… This may be the case for many… But what many people do not know is in many countries Fathers are pushed out of the family home by mothers and authorities. It is much more easy to just push the father out then to work on having BOTH parents help in looking after the child… I feel this is unfair and I am sick of hearing the same story time and time again from loving fathers who phone me crying and email me with the same stories but different names.

This event is NOT just for fathers! We need to change peoples views and we all need to do it together… Not just for ourselves but for our children and our children’s children.

If you have ever known someone who has been effected by a fatherless home please help with this. Even if it is just displaying a badge showing your support or actually joining the cause… Everything helps.

On June the 13th is Fatherless Day and in many city’s and towns around the US and maybe the UK (And more) there will be rallies organised by fellow F4J members. Please show all your support.

Don’t let the bad Dads effect us, we want to be fathers…

Childless Fathers

I woke up today in a sort of happy mood, but when I got on the computer and logged into my email things got better. I have just spent the last hour or 2 writing emails to some Fathers who wish to remain nameless. They mostly found my website through my “Fatherless Christmas - Poem” which has got me many hits the past few days, a few of the Fathers contacted me with some stories that are a lot like mine and a lot like my old story before this whole injustice happened.

What really got me about this was not the emails or the fact that they contacted me, but it was the fact of how they found me. They typed into Google “Fatherless Christmas” which then got them her, so what must have driven these Fathers to search for such a subject? I got hundreds of hits just from search results with words just like these, and then they came and read my poems and other posts and needed to contact someones.

These days so many people think that Fathers do not have the same feelings and bonding that mothers have, and in this sexist country that we live it is deemed “OK” for a father to have no contact with his own children. We are now living in a country where the word Father is replaced with the word “Positive Male Role Model” as the word Father is black listed.

In a world where we have tried so hard to show that women are as good as men in doing jobs and normal everyday things, we have now put men and Fathers in a lesser light, were seen as the home-wreckers, the violent, the unloving, and uncaring but to say this and to think this aren’t we doing what was done to women all them years ago? Is this not sexist? And what will be of our future Fathers? What will my son have to go through to see his children?

Let us change our views on Fathers, let us judge each person on how they care for their children, if a Father wishes to be around his children and wants to care for them let that be, it will only effect our children’s future and then our country.

Thank you for the emails, I hope things get better for you all and your children.
