This pretty much explains the situation with father's rights in Canada. Sadly, this situation is very common in my country.
Behind every footprint in the Sand Once stood a great man Who for the first time held your tiny hand A daddy's love knows no bounds From moment conceived to moment born A day I couldn't wait for I watched you crawl, I watched you Cry I held you close when you wanted to hide Be it tea party or soccer game Daddy always came Then one day daddy came no more Daddy called and daddy tried Only to be denied As days passed and as you grew Daddy fought for you. But the judge decides and said no more. So daddy hung his head and cried. That day a part of daddy died. People come and people go All I wanted was to watch you grow Like many dads I sat in silence And waited until you grew. Sad I missed so much of you. Expecting to one day see the child I once knew. The one who's daddy was their hero. The man who promised to always be there. So now I fight for fathers rights To fix what isn't right So other children and fathers Don't have the same sleepless nights. So as my future grandchildren come to this world A day without dad they will hopefully never know. So you can be the dad I wanted to be A simple foot print in the sand, Followed by a great man.
No matter what, don't give up on your kids. They need BOTH parents. Do everything you can possibly do to save your marriage, and when you think you've done everything try doing everything again.
