A message to fathers who advocate abandonment and giving up on the procedures: the legal battle is exhausting, but it is your duty. Children are watching and learning from you.
To the fathers who advocate abandoning their children, ignoring the legal procedures and giving up on them, we address this warning.
Your responsibility as a father requires you to fight and defend your rights and those of your children by every legal means; it does not befit you to flee this responsibility. Remember that God knows your suffering and does not burden any soul beyond what it can bear. But that does not justify abandoning your children, leaving them orphaned and exposed to ruin. Leaving one's children without care or protection is not only irresponsible: it is a crime against them.
The legal battle is the way
The legal battle is the legitimate and lasting way to obtain justice and preserve family ties. If circumstances are hard, running away is not the solution. Filing claims and complaints and following the procedures can be exhausting, but it is your duty as a father. Your children need your constant support, even if for now that only earns you a limited right of visit set by the court.
To those who attack the association and the fathers who fight, and who present their suffering unfairly, we say: no one knows the extent of that suffering but God. Do not judge hastily, and respect the efforts of fathers who fight for a dignified life for themselves and for their children.
Finally, remember that children observe your actions and draw their values and principles from them. Be a good example to them, and do not let weakness make them tomorrow's victims. Fighting for your rights and those of your children is what makes the difference.
