Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
...Double standards. All things being equal the woman always gets the kids. A man doesnt have to be abusive or anything. They figure that a man has to work, and women have nothing better to do than raise kids. At least that was their thinking when they made the laws.
What gets me is something that no one mentions. It is one of many things.
How come a woman gets compensated during a divorce for homemaking skills, and then gets compensated in the form of alimony for a while because she has no skills? And the flip side of this is...how come a man isnt compensated to hire someone to do the domestic skills that the courts assume they didnt know how to do, and only the wife could do?
Double Standards. The courts are predjudice against men, period.
I applaud full-time fathers or those who juggle their full-time jobs with their full-time parenting responsibilities. I think the children should be placed with whomever the fitter parent is, regardless of gender. I also think that circumstances of the divorce should play a part in that... when my husband cheated on me and chose to continue seeing the other woman, he didn't just break up our marriage, he destroyed our family. And that is perhaps the most irresponsible parenting flaw of all.
Hope that gives you hope.
It isnt cus the mother doesnt have anything to do, it is cus they feel a child should be with the mother more for biological reasons I dont have in front of me.
