Here i am over 8 years apart / separated from my family. Over 2 years since the divorce was official.
People help (or hurt) people. It is a conscience choice made at the benifit of or the suffering of one or the other.
Why ? Is my query, as i cannot grasp the prospect of knowing that you are harming a fellow human being, yet have a hollow ability to pretend otherwise. Like NOT ALLOWING CHILDREN and a PARENT to be together. Like with no emotion nor conviction a mother demeans/debase the father to such a serious degree, 8 plus years pass without her nor every other person included in this mock up that portrays a peaceful man as a social path or monster who suddenly overnight cannot be trusted with his own children. :(.
I have no life outside my own little world that spends most every available moment despairing over my loss, my heart ache, a pain that is not normal nor should be allowed, but it is allowed.
Don't be a judge of others, nor condemn a man by hearsay of a bitter woman. Stop the abuse and suffering before it becomes to late.

Seven Policies Required to Conquer Addiction in our Lifetime

By Johnny Allem
Recovery from alcohol and other drug addiction happens frequently across a broad spectrum of society: rich and poor, old and young, doctorate and high school drop-out, women and men, black and white, and country or city dweller. Achieving a stable, productive, chemical-free life is, in fact, a normal expectation when proven solutions are applied. When proven solutions are applied to appropriately diagnosed cases of addiction illness, a number of happy outcomes occur:
Recovery happens. Families heal. Money is saved. Life gets better. Recovering people give back. Everyone wins!
So often and so frequent are these experiences of recovery attained that it can be said with complete scientific authority that the chronic illness of alcohol and drug addiction has been conquered. Public expectations of a disease cure are not that the disease is never encountered again. Rather, society is assured that a proven solution has been developed that, when applied, the illness is reduced to a manageable health threat, rather than an on-going epidemic.
In the case of addiction to alcohol and drugs, the illness has been conquered, but the epidemic rolls on. The proven solutions for addiction are simply not applied sufficiently to stem the epidemic. The gap between what society knows about drug and alcohol problems and what society does with that knowledge is huge and fatal for millions.
The Johnson Institute believes there are seven policies that are required to bring the response to chemical dependency in line with other chronic illness. These policies have become cross cutting principles in all of JI’s projects, publications and services.
First, we must use our strongest voice – the voices of individuals and families in recovery who have survived the terror and isolation of addiction disease. History teaches us that public responses to major illness are driven by the voices of survivors. We are no exception. The good news is that today we enjoy a generation of people in recovery that is ready and willing to speak out. We must honor and support those who fight for better responses to our illness for our children and grandchildren.
Second, early awareness and early intervention lead to early recovery. That’s a bargain for individuals, families, employers and society. Johnson Institute is a leader in moving response to all aspects of chemical dependency earlier in time and in a wide range of venues.
Third, chemical dependency is a family illness with critical impacts on all. Healing can, and must, include the entire family. JI has long advanced this view. We must continue to carry this view into the world of healthcare reimbursement codes, workplace interventions, church ministries and schools.
Fourth, society’s existing institutions, including schools and churches, as well as primary care clinics, can and should recognize their stake and opportunity to intercept illness and promote healing. We are re-building treatment capacity in America. That is a wonderful opportunity. But we need to recognize the significant role that standing institutions can and must play in ending this epidemic. This requires little new money, just new attitudes, training and commitment.
Fifth, prevention, treatment and recovery are health responsibilities and should be financed through the nation’s traditional health system. The cost transfer of chemical dependence to the public sector delays appropriate care, costs much more, and reduces the chance for recovery. It’s called discrimination! We cannot end the epidemic with government money and self-pay treatment. We must access the traditional health care dollar and that’s what Rep. Jim Ramstad’s parity bill is all about.
Sixth, appropriate response to chemical dependency at any stage requires specialized knowledge at every health care and social intake. This means professionally trained and credentialed addiction specialists beginning at the associate degree level in specialized treatment facilities. We believe individuals in stable recovery should be an integral part of the professional workforce. Positions in the chemical dependency field must be appropriately paid and honored.
Seventh, the spiritual gateway to changing additive behavior works. The spirit requires no detoxification, is ever present and carriers our purest good. There is no conflict between science and spirituality, only misunderstanding and intolerance. Research continues to demonstrate the positive relationship between spiritual practices and values and evidence-based scientific practice. The power of prayer to promote healing is documented fact.
The voice of recovery needs your voice to tear down these barriers to conquering addiction in our lifetime.

Fathers Rights' vs A womans
I have recently come to know the unbalance of a womans verses a Mans rights/ability to be treated equal.
Guilty until proven innocent is the statis quo when it comes to a family dispute and or arguments with a man and a woman. I have made some mistakes, but as the world turns, its a Womans world. If she said- well then that is that- they do not even ask you (the man). Does not matter because it is not important . Society says that a man is wrong until proven innocent and a woman is innocent PERIOD.
P.O'd
