At What Point Do You Just Accept That You Can’t Win? …that’s the question that I’m posing this evening for whomever it is that reads this blog.
You may wonder what context I’m referencing. Well, a lot of what I’m talking about is family court…but, I’m also talking about life in general. Some people, I realize, seem to have things work out well for them. And, I also understand that sometimes these appearances can be deceiving.
At any rate, if there’s such a thing as “good luck,” …I just don’t think I have too much of that good stuff. And, I accept that. Most things don’t work out for me. That’s been the pattern of my life. And, when it comes to the family court…the gains that I have made in respect to my child have been a result of motions filed in family court. But, a lot of what a Judge can instruct doesn’t get followed…and, what are the consequences? And, what are the options? And, where does the money come from to finance the whole thing?
When you get involved in the game with lawyers, Judges, etc.; basically, expect for things to go wrong. And, if they don’t…you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
All things considered, I don’t think men make out that well in family court. I base this upon my personal experience and my reading. I was optimistic for a long time. But, at what point do you accept that you just can’t win? I’m at that point now. The whole system has worked against me. People are antagonistic. You try talking peacefully, and, you hear a voice in the background yelling, “Take him to court.” Is this really necessary? Just who do they think they’re talking about and judging?
You want to take a moment for a reality check and say, “Hey, you are talking about this child’s father! Okay…”
Sometimes, the way I’m treated, you’d think I must be a thoroughly awful person. Sometimes I want to holler. Sometimes I want to punch a wall. Sometimes I want to go to law school. But, ultimately, none of it will make any difference. In life, sometimes, you just can’t win. And, that’s just the way it is…
