Parenting Beyond Tragedy

Parenting Beyond Tragedy is a male perspective on co-parenting through the hardships of incarceration. It is about the importance of maintaining some sort of viable connection between the biological father and his children in spite the conditions of LIFE inside or outside the prison walls. There is a vital importance of having (some) connection and influence from the father, in a child's life verses (none at all). When it comes to parental disputes, co-parenting and the like the statement is: "Do what's in the BEST interest of the children." As a family unit (however fractured) we should act from the highest viewpoint of that statement.
