I am sure I am jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire here, but what do you mean by that?

Really, I don't know anyone who doesn't have sympathy for the dads who do want to see their kids and be a part of their lives, but who are prevented. I have a friend who rarely got to see his son and it devastates him to this day. The label deadbeat is for a guy who doesn't care to see his children and has no interest in providing for them. Those guys don't have my sympathy. Everyone who is trying to do what is best for their kids does.
