Japan will allow joint custody starting April 1, bringing high expectations for sidelined parents — and fear to survivors of domestic abuse. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/24/japan/society/joint-custody-parents/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #children #parenthood #divorces #japanesecourts #domesticviolence #childabuse
Fear and fairness: Japan’s joint custody reform sparks debate

From April, Japan will allow joint parental authority. For some, that means more time with their child, but for domestic abuse survivors, there is only fear.

Sometimes, being a hero doesn’t look the way we expect.

Not loud.
Not glamorous.
Not perfect.

Just tired.
Uncertain.
But still showing up every single day.

For the ones who need you most.

You give up so much, put yourself last, and fight your own silent battles—just to make sure your kids are okay.

Maybe no one sees it.
But it means everything.

You are a true hero!

Ah, the classic "I was terrified of procreating until I wasn't" article, complete with #epiphanies about how #parenthood transforms you from a carefree Peter Pan 🧚‍♂️ to a sleep-deprived zombie 🧟‍♂️. Because nothing screams "life choices" like realizing your pre-parent self was the real terror all along. 😂 Who knew diapers could be so enlightening? 🤦‍♂️

I don't often listen to country music anymore, but when I do, it's often songs about being a parent and I'm crying while listening...

Oh, and thanks @jcrabapple for pointing out Luke Combs' Whoever You Turn Out to Be this morning... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2HhBnCtkJ0
