You got two beautiful chidren but wow, that must be really tough not being able to be there for them. Like canadian-coconut I'm Sorry you have to go through this and feeling for your son who obviously wants his dad around more, at the end of the day it should be his choice. How did we get to live in a world where both parents and children have very little rights.
Thanks for your reply and empathy! I seriously believe that this western world has always been like this. I do not think that the Roman or Greek democrats or dictators were any better. By 'Divide and rule' and 'bread and games' we are kept down and low, indoctrinated, brainwashed and divided. How useful to divide a society into father vs mother, black vs white vs yellow vs red (rubbish notions, of course), hetero vs homosexual, young vs old ... and so on. Dividing and ruining families is just one of those things. It's always been there and will remain in this sick pseudo system. I do not believe that I will achieve much in court; they might even penalize me for not conforming but I cannot. In the end, I will have to be able to look into my children's eyes and tell them that I did what I could and remained true to myself and them. Most people won't understand or agree with this - I know this, too.
