(TRR Graphic) A Christian men’s  conference , aiming to gather 20,000 fathers and sons at The Gorge Amphitheater in central Washington state in June, has a line up of speakers who have disparaged women and referred to them as their genitalia.

This article explores why noncustodial mothers should be listening to podcasts hosted by other noncustodial mothers—and why these voices matter now more than ever. In the early 2000s, noncustodial mothers were rarely seen or heard. By 2008, after earning my degree, I skipped my graduation ceremony and instead focused on creating my first website for noncustodial mothers, Abused Swan. At the time, it was one of only three websites addressing family court issues. My children had been concealed from me, and becoming the first person in my family—and his—to earn a degree felt meaningless in the face of that loss. Even today, I continue to meet noncustodial mothers who had no idea what truly happens inside family court. If you do not know the issues exist or what to look for, you will never find them.
