 MRAs also had the wrong approach, probably for the same reasons they got into that situation: they were too nice and tried to play by the rules, becoming a grievance group.

If all your life is getting fucked with by some passive aggressive family courts, you have to take extreme measures: become a soldier of fortune overseas, join some shady smuggling boat, become another town's homeless.

Begging to see your kids won't make it better so instead of working extra, gotta become some obscure legend for them

 Every second weekend take the kids for a shopping cart ride to the subway station for a family day selling stolen VHS tapes.
