Your story is not uncommom. I recognize that. You also do not sound like a woman hater in this post. Although I wouldn’t blame you if you ended up as one.
I am glad you fought for your son. Sons NEED a father. Any woman that would deny her son a father out of bitterness has problems. I understand that men in these situations feel abused by their ex wives and the system. I UNDERSTAND their hatred. I really feel for them. It seems that women hold all the cards in custody/child support cases. It has gotten a little better in recent years but the deck is still stacked in favor of mothers.
I have tried to convince some of the ‘women haters’ on this forum that we are not all angry and bitter. I hope all of you find good women that you can love and cherish and one that loves and respects you as a man.
Blessings!
I left out a lot of the story, but before the court date to finalize our divorce, I was the one explaining the details of the agreement to her, instead of her own lawyer.
I tried to keep my personal feelings toward my ex-wife away from my son as much as possible, and always insisted he treat her with respect, despite her obvious flaws. And made sure he knew that deep down, she really did love her son.
I think most the "women haters" are guys resentful of the power the women have over their access to their own children.
