  1. Joe, those are exactly the rights the MRA's were on about. I have no delusions about changing the laws, they never will, which is why I am not an MRA. However... I am a perfect example of who they are fighting for. My first wife was physically abusive, she was rapid cycling bipolar and would get extremely violent just to get me to engage with her. I am same height as you, slightly more muscular, and have very similar training, and she would assault me with impunity. Why? Because I am a pussy? no, because if I used any force at all to stop her, my state would have buried me under the jail. I endured her shit for 8 years, protecting my kids from her as long as I could. She cheated all the time, spent more money than I could earn, accused me of everything she was doing herself, and what I did was work 70-80 hours a week to get enough overtime to try to keep up with her spending. I had to reenlist after being our for the better part of a decade just to dig out from under the mountain of debt she created. If I didn't have kids with her, she would have gotten broomed post haste. If a man did half of what she did, he might have never recovered from the beating I would have given him. I adore my kids, I spent as much time as I could with them, taught them to read, write, math, colors, shapes, hell I taught them to crawl and walk, then ride bikes. I put as much time as I could into them, when I wasn't working in a factory to fund her fruitless shopping. I live 950 miles from her now, and both of them live near me, that should tell you something. They are in their 20s, and I was indentured to her for 15 years. One of her boyfriends was a bit too touchy with my daughters, and of course I was 1500 miles away with no money. Probably kept me from ending up in prison. I was active duty in 2001 when she left after sleeping with another couple on base, making videos of it, and they got passed around to the other units. She was a real winner. I should have pulled out and never talked to her again after the first time,(better yet never slept with her, but I didn't know crazy when I was 24) but she mostly hid all of that crazy until after she was pregnant. She takes my kids 1500 miles away,hides them from me with help from my home state, and then files. They hit me with 71% of my gross income, assuming I could live on base and get free food, but at my rank, and having dependents, that was not a possibility. The result was two years of living in my car, a beat up 70 GTO that I kept running on a shoestring budget and my scrounging skills. When I deployed in 2004, I finally got to sleep indoors that was not on a friends couch. She finally lowered the support which allowed me to get an apartment for a while. The state was very resistant to lowering it, they really liked to punish me for being male. I got hurt on that 04 deployment, and subsequently separated in 05. Nearly two years for the VA to give me a rating, and now I am a deadbeat dad because I had zero income for that entire time. Any idea how hard it is to get a lawyer when you have less than $300 a month to live on? yeah, it was by design, and against the state laws, which stated I was to be left $950 to live on. As if that was enough. Deadbeat or disabled and unable to work, no difference to them. Everyone wonders why 22 of us kill themselves every day. Everyone who hears my story wonders why the hell I am still alive, that includes my shrinks. You might ask why, I will be honest, because I love my cars and I wanted to get to the point in life where I could enjoy them. Now at 50 years old, broken and living on a fixed income, I can enjoy my GTOs that I rebuilt while working around my physical limitations and finances. They broke numerous state and federal laws, but I have no recourse for any of it. No lawyer would take it on, and now she owes me over $8000 for over payment when my youngest lived with me, but they aren't revoking her drivers license, passport, and taking money from her account every month leaving it empty like they did to me. They did that even when I wasn't behind, apparently in an effort to make me delinquent. They are not doing anything to force her to pay me. her credit isn't even affected by it. All my evidence of her abuse was thrown out by the judge, every motion I made was shot down by him, and he would not even consider giving me custody. Why? Because a few years prior he was censured by the state for awarding custody to the fathers when the mother was leaving to go bang some other dude and neglecting her kids. The judge was a former Marine, but that worked against me too. So to sum all of that up, she did everything wrong, including neglecting the kids to go ride random cocks, and she was rewarded simply because she was female. Know what is really fucked up about all this? I am typical. I am not an outlier, what happened to me is so common as to be expected that fathers from my state will be homeless unless the mother agrees to a sensible amount, or he makes enough that 4% of his income is enough to live on. But yeah, we have all the rights, life is great for us those guys are just whiners and deadbeat losers, and it wont happen to you or anyone else, just us. If you want to know more about my fucked up story, just ask.
