Fifty percent of noncustodial fathers report visitation interference by the mother.

Forty percent of custodial mothers admit interfering with visitation, for revenge.

There are millions of fathers kept from their children by unconstitutional domestic violence laws and biased family courts.

You are very correct in what you say, While this video does not cover those issues, they are very real. This video was meant to reach those fathers who have their priorities wrong, rather than those who want to be involved but a third party is making it impossible.

Thank you for your Input!

Thank you for the video. I wish I could have been there for my babies, but their mother suddenly had the bright idea that leaving me was the best thing she could do. To this day I have no idea why she left! Now, my children don't like me and I am now a grandfather. Parental Alienation is work here.

I suffered as a child, as a Father and now, I wonder it will continue with my grandson.

I don't have a father. My mom left him because he was using drugs again. He has not wished to get to know me,and he's had several chances too.

My father reminded me on a daily basis that he hated everything about me. I was beaten, degraded, and other things that are unmentionalble. In fear of my life at times, I was petrified to live normally. Always stratigising to stay alive. I saw my sister almost killed twice. This is America where families are the core. The word family gives me chills. I am older now. You would never know these things about me if you knew me. It is a silent but mighty monster that I fight. I am your close friend.

Oh, one more thing...

I have come to understand how God, the Father, feels about us through this experience. I have also come to understand that children are God's gift to us and sometimes, it is to teach us something very personal about Him. That He understands what we are going through more than we think He does.

I have two I have lost, but how many has He? Indeed, how many?? I suffer deeply and long for their return. Indeed how much more does He, us??

Sigh...It isn't right... but that's wisdom speaking.

I wish I had exercised wisdom a long time ago. If I had, I wouldn't be having this conversation.

Amazing how wisdom and foolishness can dramatically alter one's course in life.

How wisdom or foolishness can save or destroy lives.

A painful price to pay for that wisdom but then all the more valuable that wisdom is.

Thank you again for your comments.

Thank you djeikop.

Whether I am reconciled with my family or not, I know not but in the mean time, I'll just do the best I can to get along and just try to be a friend to others and be a positive example. I was a highwayman, a cross country truck driver having travelled over a million miles with all the heartaches and temptations one can imagine. For their sakes, I kept distant. So they wouldn't endure the hell I had to carry. It's tough but I don't like the alternative.
