Papa's Struggle

My story of pain, heartache, legal inequality, determination, and hopefully justice.

In this blog, I'll describe all of the challenges I faced through my separation and divorce as well as the currently ongoing issues. I hope to bring attention the inequality with father's rights and hopefully help gain the support needed to resolve them for others with the same struggle. At minimum, I hope my story can provide motivation or guidance for other strugggling through similar issues.
