FNF
Families Need Fathers (FNF) is a registered UK charity, founded in 1974. It provides information and support to parents, including unmarried parents, of either sex.
Overview
FNF is a self-help group, and is involved in research into shared parenting and political lobbying.
FNF is chiefly concerned with the problems of maintaining a child's relationship with both parents during and after family breakdown, and has acquired over 10,000 members in its 30-year history.
The group's volunteer members offer advice to parents, which aims to be child-centred. Hence the advice here originally worked out by children who took part in a divorce survival class:
- Don't ask us what happened while with the other parent
- Don't ask us to keep secrets
- Don't put us in a position where we have to tell lies
- Don't ask us to take sides
- Don't take out your anger on us
- Don't get into competition with one another
- Do allow us to love both parents without being got at by either
- Don't ask us to choose between you
