I was just reading thru the postes and roll call and could not believe all of the Father's who have custody of their children!! <P>How many times have we heard about "dead beat Dads" and how fathers don't want to accept the challenge of raising their children on their own, etc. We need more stories about single fathers!! Kudos to you!<P>I hope I didn't offend any single-parent moms! I have a great deal of respect for everyone (male & female alike) that are raising their children on their own!

Yes, and Kudos to the Dads who lie and manipulate to "steal" the children from caring mothers who can't afford to fight.<P>What wonderful men

Nancy,<P>It is OK. There is a lot of pain that we are all dealing with.<P>I would agree that there are some fathers that do as you say. There are also mothers that doethe same, withhold visitation, etc. <P>We all do a lot of s***ty stuff to each other. I pray for all of us that we can find the compassion to really "live and let live."<P>Brian
