..I agree, there are some very good, loving and frustrated fathers out there who would love more access to their children, but their ex-partners can use those children as a weapon to hurt them and make it so difficult..if then, say a father was to 'walk away' because he thought it was best for his child not to have to be caught up in a battle of bitterness, he would be seen in a bad light...I'm not saying this is always the case because of course every situation is different but in most cases it's not either of the parents who suffer the most, it's the child who unless there was abuse etc involved, would usually benefit from contact with both parents...
