Most of the existing support for dads dealing with post-divorce family life or being alienated from your kids has to do with confrontational legal approaches. It’s all about documenting everything: record the phone calls, timestamp the emails. Catch that ex making up stories, denying a visit, lying to the child services worker.
This kind of strategy keeps you in a survival mindset, far removed from your real power as a father.
Something deep inside is telling you that it’s all wrong, but you have no template for any kind of alternative approach.
You’d love to step away from the fight and let go of all the negativity but what comes next?
Are you really going to just stop fighting for your kids? No way!
Meanwhile, your relationship with them is in a downward spiral that you didn’t cause but you’re expected to fix.
And, nothing works – you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
I know for certain that there’s a way to win this kind of fight while staying on the high road. I’m no martial arts expert, but the most sophisticated battle arts are those that protect you from attack and incapacitate your opponent without injuring them.
Your opponent becomes impotent the moment you no longer recognize their ability to harm you. You’re simply not available to be messed with.
I think about that great scene from The Matrix where Neo has a moment of realization: “there is no spoon”. Reality is not as it appears. He no longer needs to fight the agent, Mr. Smith. He merely stands in his own power, performing a series of effortless moves that effectively neutralize his opponent.
This is where I want to see every divorced dad. Standing in the core of your potent attractor energy, drawing your children towards you with the pure magnetism of your integrity, your conviction, your endless devotion to their physical, emotional and spiritual welfare.
How do you get to this place?
Stay focused on what you want your child to observe when they watch you – believe me, they’re watching every minute! Model what you want them to see: patience, loyalty, courage, fortitude. It will take a lot of focus and concentration on your part.
How do you keep from being drawn away by distractions like hostile phone messages, harassing texts or gratuitous litigation?
