So, growing up it was just my mom and me. She would always call him worthless and a piece of garbage. She would never let me see or talk to him and said it was because she didn't want me to have the risk of being molested. I grew up terrified of my father and I had never met the man.

Well about 5 years ago when I was 18 I got a call and it was him. I immediately hung up. He then texted me and asked me for an email. I gave him my spam account.

I decided to check it a couple of months later. It was about 10,000 words of his side of the story. He attached a pdf of all the child support checks that he sent that my mother had told me he never paid. She cheated on him and when he found out he wanted a divorce. Knowing she was screwed she wiped him off their joint account with forged signatures. He wanted to meet me because he never had more kids and he was terminally ill with cancer.

I only got two months with a father that loved me because of her lies.

Well, recently I have been dating a guy who is fighting for custody of his child. I see now how stacked the system is against men and have been shedding my uber feminist skin.

I just want to say I greatly appreciate this subreddit. If you'd like to know any more specifics, address it in the comments. I have to run for now. Thanks for reading!
