Father and daughter both lose because of hatred

This is the tragedy of a messed up mom who couldn't parent, a stable dad who wanted to but was overlooked and a troubled child who's been raised by the state. Our favorite misandrist columnist Mindelle (Mindy) Jacobs of the The Sun Media Group actually delivers a non misandrist column (albeit with a few backhanded swipes) of fathers.

I have sent an email to Ms. Jacobs to acknowledge the fact that she wrote a positive column on men (for once) but to also let her know we are still monitoring her scribblings. You can send e-mail to Ms. Jacobs mindy.jacobs-at-sunmedia.ca. Excerpt:

'This is the tragedy of a messed up mom who couldn't parent, a stable dad who wanted to but was overlooked and a troubled child who's been raised by the state.

Some men don't want anything to do with the children they've fathered. Others, like David, do but end up shut out of their kids' lives because of hostile ex-partners, government bureaucracy and legal fees that sap their spirits as well as their bank accounts.

I'd like to identify David (not his real name) but I can't because his daughter, almost 17, is in foster care in B.C. She has been a permanent ward of the state since age 8, when she was removed from her unfit mother's care. '
