"5. Need some light at the end of the tunnel? Remember that your kids are male - and they will probably go through the same crap as you someday in one form or another. It is at that time that they will realize who their mother really is. And if you're alive, out of jail and busting your butt - you will have their respect at their mother's expense."

ImFightingMad:

Listen to "kidd," especially on the above, "imfightingmad."
I've seen this happen for quite a few. It is very likely
and common. Even many sons whose mothers were man hating
social workers, psychs., lawyers and writers have had to
reject their mothers (in cases where the mothers implied
it would be she or dad--not both) to go back to their
fathers.

Hang in there, man!

There is a divorced doctor gathering other divorced men
for the purpose of a mass hunger strike this fall. I
disagreed with him, telling him that we could really use
his and his friends' talents. He's a good writer. But
he would have none of it. They have over a dozen men
for that, so far, and appear to be going through with
it.

*Don't go their way.* You have skills that we can use to
make the big change, and we will prevail. Our children
will be proud, someday. "Someday" does come. "Someday"
is the way of the greatest men on our planet. If you go
away, we will be one man short of maximum strength. Stay
with us.

If you want to talk to other men about this on a
regular basis (and help to make the change), pop a Free
Republic mail (see the top, right of the "browse"
page behind the "browse" link at the top, left of this
page) to me. I'll refer you to an e-mail list.
