It's been awhile since I've come to terms with the fact the legal system gives fathers no rights, even when he is the better parent. Society simply is not ready to give fathers equal rights in regard to children. I'm not saying they should give all fathers equal regard. After all, there are some fathers that are obviously not capable of taking care of a child. I am saying both parents should be honestly evaluated and be regarded in the context of modern psychology and caregiving for a child. Irregardless, I've come to terms with the disheartening reality and am now working on paying off my legal fees incurred. To do this, I've had to take a job in Iraq for a year and hope it will be enough. It tears me apart to spend time away from my child but bankruptcy is not a viable option.
