On this brochure of the heavily promoted DADS FOR LIFE movement by MCYS, it was asked "Did you know children perform better in school and feel more confident when their fathers take an interest in their lives?"
Yes I do. But some of us are amongst the hunderds or thousands of Singapore fathers (and mothers) who want to be involved in our children's lives, but are being blocked either by our ex-spouses or by rulings of our very own Family Court. So my question back to them is: Are the authorities even aware of the situation and are they doing anything to help us and our children?
Without a doubt, what we are experiencing is parental and children’s rights oppressions in its worst form. And it really saddens me that such a thing is actually happening in a country that I proudly love and grew up in all these years..
Adriel, one day you will get to read this post/blog, and so will many other Singapore children who have been unfairly alienated from their loving parents wanting to be in their lives. And to all the children : Never believe all the lies that you’ve been told, that your daddies or mommies do not care and are not interested in your lives. Though our hands are tied, always remember how hard we will keep fighting against all odds to be with you, and to grant you the rights to love freely..
