Albert,

By all means please feel free to list my story on your web page, if just one abused father sees it and gets out of his life of hell, then I more then accomplished what I set out to do. You may also use my address.. As I said I have nothing to be ashamed of . I wrote this article in 1993 while a member of the National Congress For Fathers & Children. My husband was a non-custodial father who for 7 years was denied access to his child , we became involved in the group for that reason but it soon escalated for me into speaking out for men who are also as you know victims of domestic violence..

After the movie " Men Don't Tell " aired I appeared on the local news in Kansas City and also spoke out about it.. I am no longer involved in the National Congress, but still try to speak out on my own.. It was funny you mentioned that the woman later tries to alienate the child from the father.. My mother always threatened my dad that she would make it so he'd never see us again.. My dad told my mother-in-law during his divorce that the reason he stayed for 22 years was because it was the only guarantee that he would be allowed to see " his girls " raised..

Albert please let me know if there is anything I can do to help get this "Men's secret " known about..

Thank you for your web site informing people of violence against men!

Sunshine and Smiles Always

Annette
