The Man Whose Hair Grew and Grew

A father simply wanting to see his son.

About Me

Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

I am the man whose hair grew and grew. I am only going to cut it when i am seeing my son properly again.

I was beaten up by my ex when married and before but the domestic violence services are all gender biased. It has been a hard slog getting my life back together, even harder trying to parent and protect my child.

This profile is deliberately anonymous. I feel it would be wrong not to speak out about the damage being done to me and my son and families everywhere.
