'I Don't Call Him Daddy' (Music Video)
March 9th, 2008 by Glenn Sacks, MA for Fathers & Families
"You said, 'I don't call him daddy, but he takes care of things./When you pick me up on Friday, are you gonna bring me anything?/Oh, don't worry Dad, you know, it don't matter what we do/Cause I don't call him daddy, he can never be like you.'"
Country singer Doug Supernaw's "I Don't Call Him Daddy" is a moving song about an economically strained divorced dad trying to maintain his relationship with his little son. The ending is bittersweet.

Glenn, I suspect like many dads in such situations and worse, that we don't tend to play such video and audio tracks. If we're new to the bravo sierra child predation masqueraded as justice, I mostly cry for our own children and ourselves. If we're smart, we begin to see 'the problem' being far less about one's non-adult children and their hateful mother, but about such mothers collectively preying upon such children along with feminists, politicians, judges, etc. who exact vastly more perversion out child outcomes than all the child molestors on the planet ... male and the no doubt vastly undercounted female ones.

The way I see it, whatever lead into these circumstances there are three definite losers (giving everyone the benefit of doubt and considering current gender norms (progressive and conservative))- Children the prime victims of this - no matter which parent wins. And the second loser are men - as fathers and as stepfathers (in majority of the cases and mothers and women in a rare minority) - first because they loose their children, the second because they enter an unnatural situation of "instant" parenthood.
The third loser is society as a whole - the general deterioration of good-will and trust among members of opposite sexes. Imagine 100 years ago - which well meaning young man would avoid marriage due to the fear of loosing everything he gets attached to - material or relational, due to NO fault of his own. Resulting in the growing majority of non-family oriented men - translating into plenty of bad choices and even fewer good ones for family oriented females.
I think feminism has succeeded in destroying the family as it stood once upon a time - evident in the high divorce rates. Congratulations! .. now prepare to face the consequences for it.

Feminism, Marxism and Nazism for that matter sought to destroy the traditional family in order to tear the social fabric and replace it with something more socialist. And the children were simply toss into the resulting, untested choas and everyone who to some extent bought into this crap claim there's not enough government-community (not family as a biological dad and mom under the same roof as the chidl) and enough cops. All three situations are about government being used to indoctrinate children and otherwise serve a police state.

That's a good video. I can really relate to only getting to see the boy a few weekends a month. That part really hurts.
It would have hit even more if the video reflected what is all to often the reality that the dad, though robbed of the things he cares the most about in life, still responsibly holds together things while the mom blows it all.

seat belts and child seats for children no matter what.

Haha, the seat belts and child seats thing is something I laugh about. So many people in America conclude that they cannot have more than 2 kids because they cant get all the car seats in their car or truck.
So, not-yet-conceived children have no chance at life.
All because some 1% of children were hurt in car crashes prior to car seat laws.
Classic American illogic,forced to a head by out of control state personal injury courts.
There should be laws against making too many laws.

Just signed sepertion papers with my wife yesterday. I remembered this song from when I was younger growing up with divorced parents. It hurt then knowing that my dad was feeling this way and now hurts more knowing that I have 2 children who may go throught the same situation. I hope things between us can work out because it's terrible for children to be put through this.
