0:00 Intro On today’s show, Chuck will discuss what the Why Daddy Never Cries Podcast is all about and why its importance is paramount in the survival of everyone’s family. Song by The Crazy Spoonheads, “Ghost of a Child.”
02:13 What if you could help save approximately 200,000 children and, subsequently, their children, plus add 80,000 battle-tested warriors to your ranks?
03:01 Unfortunately, burying your once soulmate seems to be the standard operating procedure in the 11-billion-dollar/year Family Court-Divorce legal system. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/divorce/divorce-statistics/
04:10 There came a time when I knew and accepted that my relationship with my wife, the mother of my beautiful children, was over. Although what happened next was straight-up Keyser Soze (BLEEP)
05:22 I didn’t grow up in a home plagued by domestic violence. Although, as a child, this was interesting
07:21 Most domestic batterers showed a consistent pattern of violence and manipulation for power and control. Power and control over an individual https://www.justice.gov/ovw/domestic-violence, and most of us can’t fight this battle effectively while we’re in the middle.
09:02 Unfortunately: These violent abusers are real, and websites showing DV are everywhere. The men depicted in these videos are P.O.S.
14:04 If two people engage in yelling, do you really think a person needs to spend 3-months in a domestic violence shelter to protect their children? The National Domestic Violence Hotline, a 24/7/365 resource available to help people escape DV situations https://www.thehotline.org/
15:50 National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse https://fatherhood.gov/
19:04 Dad’s Caucus https://gomez.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2737
20:20 Unfortunately, there is one type of DV that is not only frequently ignored. It’s actually encouraged and supported by some in today’s divorce proceedings – Artifice Accusations of Domestic Violence or AADV ** Remember one critical point: AADV pertains to innocent people **
23:25 How come we’re going insane? Because Artifice Accusations of Domestic Violence pop into all your life’s memorable events, and it never seems to end.
26:29 Every new teacher, new school, new friend’s parent, new extra school activity, whatever involves your kid, will bring fresh judgmental eyes – NO WORRIES, WE’RE STRONGER THAN THAT! Do not take childhood experiences away from your children!
27:51 Another salt-in-the-wound technique the kid’s school would use was having the school psychologist sit next to their mother at all kids’ school events.

31:30 AADV is used mainly during divorce proceedings by one partner against the other to gain control of the children and their schedules. Gaining control over an individual. Yet, right now, I hear people asking who would lie about being abused.
36:46 I first understood how to constructively use my fatherhood abyss by telling segments of my story to other Down Daddies and some quick stats
