Real Men Laugh was created on Facebook as a small group on May 22, 2014. It's sole purpose was to bring awareness to the overall lack of support in every facet to men in this small thing called life. By combining humor and real life issues our goal was to create a safe outlet for questions, answers and relief. Life doesn't come with instructions and every now and then we need some guidance. The group DADDS or Dads Against Discrimination in Divorce and Separation was the driving force behind Real Men Laugh.
DADDS was quite simply created in response to an email. The very email that is posted below. It may sound silly but a question was asked to a supposed support group for families on why their main focus was the aid and support of single mothers only. The response was shocking, in essence we were told that essentially all men are criminals and all women do not have the time, know how, finances or overall motivation to help themselves so therefore we (single fathers) were in the minority and did not qualify for any kind of assistance. DADDS was created for this very reason. In order to solve the conundrum of the supposed "dead-beat" dad ideology we have to provide support to those who want to do the right thing.
Your support is greatly valued and your interest to read this far is greatly appreciated, without support and the overall realization that this problem exists we will never achieve the solution.
