Retreat Strategy

   

 


Bear-baiting

A shorthand for the father's situation is to describe him as the bear in a bear-baiting exercise.

He has two options;

  1. To spend the rest of his life battling in the courts and struggling in life to access his children, in a game where all the cards are stacked against him; or
  2. To withdraw.

Our cultural values teach us men that we must do all in our power to protect our children. However, since secret courts continuously assert that fathers CAN NOT BE GIVEN POWER to protect their children, fathers who are taken to court need to re-evaluate their options.

How can a normal, caring father withdraw from the bear-baiting exercise and keep his conscience intact?
Firstly: recall your history. As long ago as the days when culture deemed Zeus to be strong, powerful and able to act as protector, culture regognised that Zeus the protector could also turn destroyer. Like Zeus, you as a man have it in your nature to hurl a thunderbolt.


Aloneness

This is where Retreat comes into play.

When his situation appears hopeless, the victim will writes a brief written summary of his situation. In his own words, he shows that as things stand, his status as a father is not viable. Inexorably, the courts and other agents will squeeze his fatherl8y role dowhn to nothing, as they have done to more than half of divorcing fathers. Extreme measures are called for.


Validation

This is where Retreat comes into play.

When his situation appears hopeless, the victim will give a brief written summary of his situation to Retreat.
On the basis of the assumed validity of his summary, Retreat will validate his withdrawal from

  1. Access to his children, and
  2. Salaried employment,
  3. His retreat into the grey or black economy, or into welfare benefits.

The plan is that the victim should supply his short summary of the case, plus Retreat's recommendations, to judges, social workers etc. involved in his divorce and associated matters.

Retreat will not be democratic. Rather, the names and backgrounds of those who make up the validating group in Retreat may be made available.
