Where to Find a Dad's Support Group

A group of men are imprisoned in a castle dungeon.

One shouts, "The king is an evil person!"

The rest of the men echo, "The king is evil."

Another prisoner shouts, "The terrible king should set us free and give us each a palace!"

And all the men echo, "The terrible king should set us free!"

If I were in the dungeon, I would want to hear someone shout, "Hey guys! I found a shovel. Who's ready to dig?"

For the last five years, I've been part of multiple Facebook groups focused on issues of alienated parents. I’ve read through some thousand discussions on family law issues, false domestic violence, and prenatal alienation. I've learned a lot from some of the Facebook posts and have made some great connections. Yet many of the posts are preaching to the choir. That we are part of this group means we probably have an idea of the issues.

For those of you who have been following me over the last several years, I started off posting under an alias name, before using my own, and later, often switching to ‘Warrior Dad.’

My approach through Warrior Dad, is that we focus 95% on the solution and 5% on the problem. We look for the shovels and get digging.

For the many of you who have been reading my posts, following my blog, and you have read ‘Surviving the Ex from Hell,’ you will have noticed this in my approach. I am always asking what the solution is and what actionable steps you can take to move forward.

I have many guys messaging me asking for help. Often, I don't have an answer. I don't always know what to do. But having worked with over a hundred men, and with myself  caught in the system for several years, I have a good idea of what doesn't work!

The other day I had a discussion with a dad who was passionately trying to explain what he would do. I tried explaining to him why it wasn't going to work and how it didn't work for me or for about the other dozen men I know who tried to do the very same thing.

I asked him, “do you know if this has worked?”

He passionately explained to me how he knew of one guy who it worked for. After listening to him and hearing all the points, I said, “your friends' case is different from your case, yet you are so emotionally involved you want to believe it will work for you.”

He said, “So what am I supposed to do?”

I said, “I don't know. But what I do know is that what you are about to do is going to make your situation worse. If we spend some more time understanding your situation and working through the details, we probably will come up with something that will work.”

Thank you for reading this far. I'd love to share more with you however, I am mindful of how long and how often I can post in public Facebook groups.

I want to share a lot of information that has helped many of my clients. There are creative ways in dealing with the police, child support, the family courts and so on which I do not dare share publicly.

I’ve started a private online Warrior Dad Community.

If you are interested, please send me a private message on Facebook.
