Believe it or not, Dads do care about their kids.
Even when life doesn't turn out the way you thought it would (i.e. a contentious divorce), there are still so many ways that you (Dads, Mothers, GOOD PARENTS), can show your kids just how much they mean to you.
You can't control the actions or decisions of the courts, lawyers, former spouses, former in-laws, superintendents, teachers, preachers, daycare providers, doctors, nurses, special education coordinators, or dance instructors... just to name a few. But if you are someone who loves your kids like I do, then you can control how much effort you put into leaving a lasting legacy that no one can take away or tarnish.
Stay positive. Do what you can. Everything is going to be alright. Hang in there Dads!
Good Talk,
JJ
