The Day

Mothers are losing custody of their children to abusive fathers at an alarming rate and most noncustodial mothers do not get to celebrate Mother's Day with their children, since their children are usually concealed from them. In 2011 DK decided to create Noncustodial Mother's Day so friends and family can let a hurting mother know how much they care.

October is domestic violence month and most noncustodial mother's cases involve domestic violence. DK researched and discovered that on October 28th, the Violence Against Women's Act (VAWA) was enacted. October 28th is DK's birthday, and she is a noncustodial mother as well. So, Noncustodial Mother's Day was born.

Please let a hurting mother know how much you care on this day if you are friends or family. As for noncustodial mothers, this is a time to come together with other noncustodial mothers, so we don't feel alone.
