In my material, internet forums appeared to be an important place for parents to meet others parents in the same situation with whom they can share experiences, give and receive support and advice with. The image that was constructed on internet forums seem to be similar to the changes that have occurred in society over the past decades, with more fathers involved in their children's lives and a greater sharing of the responsibility for the child, even after the parents have separated. In the material the importance of collaboration and believe in yourself as a parent, was the dominant images that was to be seen as most important for the children's future, health and development.
