“Always wise to force your child to see you when they dont want to and take mom to court to be fined. Builds trust and great relationships”
That was my reaction too. My dad never forced me to visit him, but he’d get really sad when I didn’t want to go with him on a weekend and I usually gave in because of that. My mom was wicked for painting him as a monster and trying to drive an emotional wedge between us. Dad and I are really close now, but the whole situation made my childhood awkward, painful and lonely. I understand well the price the children pay because of the adults’ power games.
the whole point of visitation is to ensure both parents can have a meaningful relationship with the child. As a father and a Christian I have a duty to be involved in the raising of my child. Just because Mom is selfish and evil doesn’t mean Dad should not insist on keeping the relationship and helping to take part in raising the child. our families are messed up because too many fathers give in to be “reasonable” and let Mom do as she wishes. Grow a set, be a Dad, be a leader, be the mature one. let selfish Moms enjoy enforcement via the Courts. No glee in that situation, but it is selfish Mom (or Dad’s) choice.
I don’t like O’Reilly at all, and have no idea what kind of Dad he is, nor why Mom did this. But she had her chance to make a case to the Court and clearly she lost. Hopefully a win for the children.
