The harder you push, the more insane they make you look. Then the restraining orders happen. Then the fines. Then jail. There really isn't much they can do when the legal system is an active deterrent. And it gaslights the kids into thinking daddy doesn't have their best interest in mind, resulting in them going down the wrong road harder than ever. It especially doesn't help that kids are wired to trust mom more. It's not just an uphill battle for the father, it's a fucking wall.
Sacrifice is meaningless when nothing is gained. All that's left is to lose everything and become nothing more than a useless martyr.
I'm not saying it wouldn't be hard or that I would have the courage to make the sacrifices necessary if I had to make those choices.
But it doesn't matter what the world says, if he is alive and not in prison then he had options that he chose not to take.
Is there any higher value for a man than protecting his children?
