Written by Michael Thompson, Founder of the Falsely Accused Network One of the hardest parts of running the helpline is not the anger. It’s not even the injustice. It’s the silence that comes after a man has lost everything. We hear it far too often. Men ringing us broken, sometimes literally in tears, saying the same thing over and over again: “I went to family court on my own. I lost the fact-finding. I’ve lost contact with my kids.
