Dads That Don’t Give Up After Divorce
Sure, I believe my ex wants our kids to be healthy and happy. And somewhere she got in her mind that being the PRIMARY PARENT after the divorce was *in the best interest of the children.*

Moving from Parenting To Co-parenting: Joining Together In Divorce
But it's the kids who stand to lose the most from this imbalanced systemic approach. Dad is more than money.
