When The Fathers Finally Tell Their Side of The Story
Manage episode 484488806 series 3665575
Fathers share their deeply personal stories about being separated from their children and the universal experiences they face when relationships with the mothers end. We explore the emotional toll of custody battles and the systematic barriers many fathers encounter when trying to remain present in their children's lives.
• The "universal playbook" that seems to exist when fathers attempt to stay involved with their children after a breakup
• Why fathers are often told they "need to try harder" or go to court to see their kids
• The psychological impact similar to PTSD that custody battles can have on fathers
• How children often reach adolescence or adulthood before learning the father's side of the story
• The frustration of being labeled a "deadbeat" despite actively trying to be present
• Why some fathers eventually move on and start new families after years of struggling
• How the narrative around single parenthood often ignores fathers who want to be involved
