We're essentially the same country after all 😎

Pfft, fucking poms xD

And no, doesn’t exist

And what do you mean by splitting property? You mean like people fighting in courts on who gets to keep the TV?

Or the house

But that's surely different from alimony

It’s just based on the courts rule, each partner makes a case on who has more right to the thing and the court decides who gets it

Seems reasonable on the surface

Well my dad lost the hose he paid for because mother needed it to raise us kinds that he now had no rights to.

Yet he absolutely had "rights" to pay child support for kids he couldn't see... 😬

The system is so wacky

Yeah, pretty much

As I said "on the surface". The devil is in the detail and systemic discrimination

I didn’t know my dad growing up, and my mum has convinced us he was a bad person for many years

Older we got to see him about once a year

But then didn’t seem him for about 3 years and it was because my mum had accused him is sexually assisting me

When she kicked me out of home by dad came and got me, so we could be homeless together

No one thought to confirm or deny that with you?

Nope

hai

wat up

That's wild, I would figure someone would have considered to ask you whether or not it was true before they took action against him

Hey, welcome @Deleted User

Hello

Well when we tried to tell child support that I had been kicked out of home, they wouldn’t listen, so they called my mum and she told them I was welcome home whenever, so they only called back to tell us that child support had to continue, I didn’t get a say, they told me over the phone that “they don’t get the children involved”... I was 17 at the time.

I wouldn't want to go home to someone so conniving. That's awful, is everything okay nowadays?

She was an abusive alcoholic so I wasn’t going back, lol

And yeah, things can still be rough, money and my dads health the usual issues, but things are getting much better

He doesn’t want to talk about it much, he wants to leave it behind us and move on, but I’m a mad bitch and I want someone to answer for this shit!

That's fair, I can see why you'd be drawn to the MRM after seeing all of that BS

Yeah, got much love and support here, rather then the usual people who try and make excuses for my mum

But she must have been under so much pressure with her daughter choosing her abusive ex husband over her /s

Well usually more along the line of, “it’s tough to raise children, I’m sure she was only doing what she thought was best for you”... apparently that is an excuse for punching your daughter for not doing the dishes correctly xD

Your usual excuses of “women aren’t as strong so they can’t cause as much damage” really falls apart there because an adult is always going to be much bigger and stronger then a child

Welcome @moon moon 😃

Coincidentally (or maybe not so much) most child abuse is done by women

women are weird

i am one and even i think were all weird

I feel you @moon moon , I really do xD

I can only remember my mum hitting us. She webt through a huge violent spell too but I was a pretty awful kid at the same time. I don't really remember though.
