Joint Custody

Co-parenting is one of the hardest things to do when you are not with the other parent, whether married or in a committed relationship. A lot of parents find themselves struggling with the ability to raise a child effectively as one when they are not functioning as a unit. I have come in contact with a lot of young fathers who want so badly to be an active part of their children's lives but are not given the chance to do so because of bitter feelings from the child's mother. What women fail to realize that while you may be hurting the man it is the child who is suffering the most in the end. A father is an important part of any child's life no matter if it is a boy or a girl. A good man is hard to come by especially one who wants to actually take care of his responsibility. So what if a man doesn't want to be with you, the way he feels about you doesn't affect his love for his children. custody battles are the most degrading thing, because your entire life is put under a microscope. Women think that because they have a child they are able to control a man's life. STOP thinking with this mentality, if a man wants to be a part of his kid's life put all that bitter angry shit aside and allow him to do so. A close friend of mine hipped me to a young artist by the name of Don Trip who speaks about his son and his son's mother. He is extremely voicestress about the fact that she won't allow him to see his son. Here is his open letter to his son.~To be continued~
