People have wondered, “what is the connection with Pissed Off Parent and the anchor picture in the logo”?
Well, the PIssed Off Parent site/efforts/logo was the result of being taken through the anti-family court system. It was born from a silent, unspoken promise I made to my boys that they would never go through what I was put through.
When I was thinking of a name, I saw other “lovey-dovey” ESP type groups out there, all being cute and thought…"Oh, HELL no! I am pissed that this is the way this corrupt system works and I am not gonna throw Potpourri on the smelly turd that is the divorce industry.
What am I, well I am PISSED OFF…and that is how the name “Pissed Off Parent” came about.
The “If not now, when?” slogan came from observing other people and groups talking…..and talking…..and talking about what they were “gonna do”. Never been much of a talker, more of a doer.
If you look at the logo, there is a “naval” anchor AND a thread and needle. I wanted to make something that honored my father, who was a PROUD Vietnam veteran who was in the navy and my gma (grandma) who was a seamstress throughout her working life.
And no, I am not going to change that logo to fit some “warm and fuzzy” stereotype.
