Poppa Won by Michael Anthony
December 11th, 2011Each year millions of couples separate. These broken relationships may often involve children. As a result of the split, the children can sometimes be used as pawns or centerpieces in the custody battles that take place in the courtrooms across America. Children who get caught in the middle can grow up feeling partly responsible or confused and become emotionally disturbed. Poppa Won is a true story of how one man refused to give up and fought legally through the courts in an attempt to gain joint custody and the shared parenting of his only child, and won.
Anthony’s book can help non-custodial parents contend with the legalities of a custody war even when the domiciliary parent becomes embittered and tries to maintain total control of the kids. He tells how he endured the vengeful tactics and unimaginable incidents that his girlfriend inflicted upon him. His personal story will help others in similar situations develop a plan to prevent being ejected from the lives of their children. He also points out the negative impact a controversial separation can have on the mind of a child and the dangerous consequences that may occur when a parent abandons or is removed from the life of their child. Offering different methods to cope with the absence of a child, Anthony stresses that any time spent with them should form happy, joyful memories, and the importance of how no parent should reduce themselves to slandering the other parent while their child is present.
“The most important reality that the readers may learn from this book is that kids shouldn’t be brainwashed and made to experience the mental anguish, feel the emotional abuse or suffer the psychological damage that can accompany the separation or divorce of their folks, little ones have feelings too and don’t deserve this mistreatment”, Anthony states.
