WELCOME! We're glad you are here. This is a safe place for fathers who have had visitation restrictions with their children. Whether it was through the court system, the other parent or family members, the children themselves, or even the loss of a child. Coping with the void left in us is difficult. There are feelings of rejection, questions of self-worth, regrets, and even anger or hatred for the situation or individual on the other side of this. Here we will learn how to find forgiveness for ourselves and others. Our goal is to move into our most powerful selves through creating positive daily routines, processing grief, and identification with others that "you are not alone". If there comes a time when these children move back into our lives (if possible) - What version of you will be there waiting? Hopefully one of integrity, peace, joy, love, and compassion. This is NOT a place to complain about our ex, or the system. While these topics are relevant, and they need to be talked about, when bringing these to the table I ask that you come with an open mind and seeking a solution. Not a solution of how to pay for the court costs, but the solution as to how not to want to kill someone in the process. How to find some joy in your days rather than sadness. How to find the desire to help others rather than sitting in our own sorrows. This is a free community and I encourage everyone to share where they are at and ask questions of those of us who have healed from these deep wounds. Our scars are signs of strength, not of victimhood. There are also paid courses here to help create this better version of ourselves. These courses duplicate the journey I personally took in finding freedom from the judgement of others, the unanswered calls leading to questions of self worth, the anger that once consumed me and blinded me to the beauty in the world around me, and the sadness that made it feel impossible to move forward at times. Healing is possible and with healing comes great opportunities to mend relationships, because we are not the people we once were. We have transformed ourselves through doing the work.
