Raising the bar – Moms & Dads

Dads deserve to be held to the same standard as moms.

Showing up isn’t “extra.”

Being present isn’t “helping.”

Being an active father isn’t a bonus, it’s the bare minimum.

We don’t get a standing ovation for changing diapers or rocking our babies to sleep.

We don’t get applause for knowing our kids’ routines, their doctors, their favorite snacks, their school schedules.

That’s just called being a parent.

And it should be the same for dads.

Fatherhood isn’t babysitting.

It isn’t part-time.

It’s full-time. All in. Every single day.

Because our kids deserve two parents who are fully present. Not one doing it all while the other gets praised for showing up once in a while.

Let’s raise the bar.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
