Being a single dad ain't no walk in the park. Everything is stripped away from you - kids, partner and possibly your job. Where does that leave you? Who are you without those things?
A big salute to the father’s raising children on their own . I give credit to where it’s due. I use to go to school with a girl who’s father raised her on his own he was a great man to her . I never heard her speak of her my mom it was always “ my dad “ . Coming from a two parent home I never understood the single parent thing until now . I’m a single parent of two young toddlers no it’s not a easy thing and single mothers do get a lot of praise but I’m here to tell all of the men raising their kids single or married you all are really kings and continue to claim your thorn God bless .
My salute to you too single mama! I'm a single dad and never understood how tough it is to having no identity other than that of a caregiver, but it's rewarding at tue end of the day
That’s deep, I’m going through custody process I’m currently in temporary custody of my toddler he’s been with me full time for a month already and is tough sometimes, I’m just glad I know how to take care of him since he was born his mother showed me how to take care of him
This made me cry. My boy was 5 when his mother left us, now he is 12. Its 7 yrs of living in emergency mode for me, i just hope and pray that all the beautiful kids of this world be safe and happy, there is nothing more precious than them
Yo Soy madre soltera mi hija tiene 10 años la tuve muy joven ya me establecí tengo mi profesión mi trabajo y oro a Dios encontrar a un hombre padre soltero que cuide solo a sus hijos ..
my 22 yr old son is raising his 19 mo. the mom is gone away. he has full support from his parents but we all work, so he takes her to sitter goes to wrk, picks her up after n cares for her, puts her to bed n does this 5 days a week, on weekends he has no sitter so he doesnt go out w friends, he has none! he keeps her all weekend. so he is mom n dad both. He is doing an amazing job n i could not be more proud of him. but he does get down sometimes, so please pray for him. He is just the best 22 yr old mom n dad ever!! n his baby girl loves her dada!!!
Thank you for being there for your son. He may not speak much on how he feels pained. But having family support helps a single father a lot. I never had family support. God bless this family.
God bless you hun have a read of Psalms 34:18. Come to Jesus. may this message be your hope that he has sent me to you to tell you this message, come to church this Sunday with us we will pray for you to receive deliverance. God bless you. You’re so fortunate. Come and receive the goodness the Lord has for you🤍
Just a reminder: there's a big difference between a single father who is raising his children full time, and a dad who only has his kids on the weekend and just happens to be single.
I made mistakes and my daughters mother kidnapped her away. For 10 years I spent everyday living for the hope I would get the chance to have her in my life again. Becoming the best version of myself I could for her. And, now I am taking over full custody after having primary custody for a year. Don't ever give up hope!
It’s tough as a single dad but there is a way through, I promise. I talk about my own struggles on my channel if you think it’ll help you. Keep your head up and keep fighting. 🤝
I’m a single dad but I couldn’t feel less like a dad. My daughter was born last October and the mom and I were never together, more or less a one night stand. She’s keeping me from my daughter every way she can and it’s been well over half a year since I’ve seen my daughter. I’m going through the legal process now of trying to get into her life and it’s honestly taking it’s toll. I have no one to vent to about it that truly understands because my parents were together the majority of my life. And while I feel I know what I like and who I am without her it’s the fact I don’t know the person I can be with my daughter. I feel like I’m missing her grow up and time is flying. Just needed a vent. Don’t know how else to get it out
I don’t know if your a praying man but if you truly want to be her dad , you will be … it takes time … Trust this, the mother may not want you right now but your kid will want you soon enough …. No kid in this world doesn’t want to be with their father who shows he loves them ….. A mother can’t take that away, even if she’s trying to for now This will change over time Fight your best legally to get some visitation, even if supervised given the babies age Once you have supervised visitation, you can get more time as your kid gets older This isn’t a sprint , it’s a marathon You don’t know what tomorrow may bring Stay close as you can and pray for it to happen It will at the right time Until then work and have a good life and be a strong man ! The world needs them and your kid will need you too
She’s a narcissist. Does the mother try to reach out to you? Most of the time it’s for a reason. If you can get her served a subpoena then you can get your kid in most states. The hard part is finding out where she lives. Sometimes a private investigator can do it. Just make sure you have a process server that can serve her.
Sort of going through this minus a couple differences. Luckily for me I have my beautiful daughter in my life fulltime as her mother passed in October 2020 due to drug addiction. Everything this man has said rings true minus the situation of losing children in a custody battle. Stay strong dads , our children need us in their lives no matter what. Dont let you other ex rule your life as well as your children's. Do the right thing and the truth shall prevail. Sending good vibes to any single father watching this today , feeling lost and uncertain of the future!
Thanks guys. Just had our daughters first birthday without Natalie. So strange , 18th of October is coming up fast and that's 1 year already. Stay strong guys !
My daughter is 6 and I have been a single dad for 4 years now. I have half custody and my ex and and I don't see eye to eye on anything. Her house is do whatever you want, go to bed late, eat junk food and my house is structured and focused on development. Needless to say, my daughter prefers her mom's house. Aside from that, the toughest thing I work through is my own self identity . My life revolves around my daughter and providing for her. I don't even find pleasure in things I use to be attracted to, like traveling and dating, sports, etc. When I don't have my daughter I come home, sit down and don't know what to do with myself and most of the time I just go work. Your video really resonated with me on several points.
Wow, that's powerful. Please reach out to a qualified therapist, because it's concerning that you don't find any joy in the hobbies that you used to. While your daughter, a child, sees the world through a child's eyes, it is not in her best interests to run the roost and do what she wants at her mother's house. While your situation being at odds with your child's mother over everything is deeply aggravating, you are doing the right thing by setting common sense boundaries and a healthy structure.
Sometimes they think you don’t love them because you look out for them and don’t give them their way. But in reality those who discipline their kids are the ones who really love them
Hey Matthew, I am in exactly the same situation, except her mother neglects any sort of attention or any type of love towards my daughter, I have to be the mother and father, and I know exactly what you are talking about, I just need to let you know that your comment alongside this video gives me so much motivation, and I wish I had friends like you to identify with, you are awesome man
My ex is like that. Her house is like guys do whatever u like, eat pizza abd hotdogs from the fridge, they are all over place. So the week I have them is like hell because I have to start again everything from scratch. Why are women like that?
Here is a bit of advice I hope will be helpful to you Basics of fathering 1. Tell and show your daughter you love her in a way she understands. That there is a special place in your heart that belongs to her and her alone and no matter what you will be there when she need you. 2. Be honest with her in a gentle manner 3. Let her be honest with you. You are a human being and you will make mistakes. When she does have the courage to tell you what you did wrong how you respond will set an example for how she will approach her problems in the future, with things she knows will probably disappoint you. It’s important she knows you are someone she can confide in when she has such problems. Now here is some advice on how you can help yourself grow 1. Go to a therapist, psychiatrist, or psychologist despite all the stereotypes said around these professions they are very helpful and make life more understandable 2. Ask yourself what do you want out of life? What are the things or activities that would make you happy? 3. Make good and dependable friends. 4. Be sure to self conscious and self aware of your actions and don’t be ashamed or forget to validate yourself on the good things you’ve accomplished and have done. I hope this advice helped
I have so much respect to single dad's , my dad has been one for 10 years of my oldest sister. Then he met my mum who put my other sister and me on the world . However she constantly went on 'vacation' fooled around and didn't even want us. My dad taught me even all the girl stuff I needed to know and used to brush my hair . My mum had a hairdresser cut it all off . Because of her I wore ridiculous clothes on one school photo and bullying got worse. Dad was furious and so he chose and bought us clothing instead. Single fathers and those with an emotionally abusive spouse are in my eyes God given .. they're always there when you need a hug and someone to talk to. Sending much love to every single one of you guys.
I’m going through the same thing brother!! I’m trying to take the leap the best I can!! I have soul custody of my “irish twins” boy and girl for three years now!! They are 5 and 6! It’s so mentally hard! But then again so rewarding!! Which I knew you bud!!

Just walk..... if your hearts not in it your children will see you happy in the end. Be there for them and accept it hasn’t worked. Took me 3years to realise that, I wish you well my friend. 🙏🏻
@Big B mate take it one step at a time. Do you have an AVO to protect yourself and children? If you engage with DOCS or Brighter Futures and can show you've protected your children, you stand a greater chance of gaining custody. Children witnessing abuse are at serious risk of harm. You need to demonstrate you've tried to protect them and you're willing to take them out of a dangerous situation. I'm lucky to have the support of my parents. Her spitting at my face and withdrawing financial support for the daycare was the last straw for me. She no longer contributes anything to the home and bills. Seek good legal advice. If you have property make the initial consult easier by getting a few market appraisals first. I'm in that process and quietly getting ready to engage the services of a lawyer to understand my financial position, likelihood of custody, what visitation looks like etc. The scariest thing for me is thinking I won't be with my son everyday. But because she has a history of violence, I think I stand a high chance of gaining custody. I have the reports from my time engaging with Brighter Futures and the steps I undertook to bring my son to safety in the past. I think one of the saddest things is trying to come to terms with your child growing up between 2 homes. As they have a right to know both parents.

Being a single father of a girl child is tough. Been 5 years now and don't know how many its gonna to be. Sometimes it's the best feeling and on the other hand - "Why Me?" I haven't lost hope but don't know how long I will be able to pull this off...
My dad takes care of me and he dealt with a lot of stuff. I have 5 siblings in total, but only me, my younger sister and older brother live with my dad. Love my dad so much. I try to stay in contact with my mom bc everyday isn't promised.
I have listened to your video over and over again for hours now because it’s hit me so hard! The first 30 seconds actually made me break down because it’s exactly how I feel! This video is exactly how I’ve been feeling and what I’ve been going through for the past year and a half!
I feel like this every day. My twins are only 4 years old. Every time they leave to go home with Mom, I feel so empty. Nothing fulfills me anymore. I'm simply going through the motions of life and everything means nothing. My greatest sadness is that I'll never be able to replace my time away from them, not being able to come home and embracing them. My heart is so broken.

As a 21-year-old single dad, this hit home. I see him 2 days a week and constantly feel like it's not good enough and that I'm not good enough. I feel like a failure so even when he is here I spend my days in a depressed state
Man I know is tough I’m in the same situation just think of how better your son’s life will be without drama, I left my own house to avoid conflict with his mom and she would use him as bait for me to come back to her, im in the process of custody and is very tough luckily I’ve had my son for a month now until next court date, but just keep your head up and think positive now you can enjoy your son more those 2 days try to plan fun stuff to do with him while you have him he’ll thank you later in life
You adjust to it. I was a single dad then the mom came back and the court gave her a couple of overnights. I do fine being single dad of 2 children. It's not that hard.
sorry to hear that! But congrats on the new journey. I've a few questions, is this because of a divorce? are you a surrogate? are you gay or straight? how many kids? I am planning to be a single parent as well. I will appreciate you helping me understand your situation
No one wants this to work for me...everyone liked her more than me, baby sitter cost more than I make. I have to give up custody...and it might kill me. My kids are my life.
I’m going through this with a spouse who was unfaithful. While I’m trying to cope with not seeing my son who I consider to me my world she is telling lies about me to family and friends who unfortunately believe her without asking me anything. She is making me out like I am a bad father and I don’t tell anyone the truth about her because I don’t want to put my 6 year old son in any stressful situations. I’m struggling hard with only seeing him for a night a week while she , The lier , the cheater , the evil gets to have all these memories with him . I’m lost! 🤦🏻♂️
You're not alone man. Very similar situation here, and the financial burden is so over whelming, you feel lost in the depth of darkness, hopefully there is some light after all the deception and hate.

Been pretty stressful, due to recent circumstances my daughter which is 8 years old is now living with me full time. I also work a full time job, this isn’t going to be easy. Any other fathers out there with similar situations?
Been taking care of my kids on and off for a few months now, and as of a couple weeks ago I'm having them full time, also starting a full time job in a week, youngest is 4. God help me! I am surrounded by a good community so that'll help
Gentlemen do the best you can. Trust me it's the hardest thing you'll ever do. Ask for help if you need to. We as men feel weak doing so. It'll be worth it at the end. Be patient with your children. You're in it together. Say I love you everyday. Cheers ! You are Warriors !
Yes my daughter is almost 7 as well and she’s autistic. Once I got a routine down with babysitting etc it was ok. My daughter still requires time from me that I can’t give right now. So I thought long and hard and picked up a trade where I can have a more flexible schedule. Don’t let anything stop you. Keep pushing…. 🙏🏽💪🏽💯
Got sole custody of my two kids boy and a girl my daughter was a victim of a child abuse while with her mom and new boyfriend.. my kids are Native American so they're protected by the Indian Child Welfare Act therefore I had to fight the tribe for sole custody...I did and won...God is great but but as an ex street guy who's been thru a lot it's by far the biggest and hardest responsibility I have ever had and I thank God everyday for having the privilege of being in these guys life...I wouldn't trade it for anything
My wife of 16 years and 48 days officially divorced me on July 20th. I’ve been on my own for about 3 weeks now. I did not want the divorce. I did not cheat but I did not love her as good as I should have. I had depression up until 2 years ago when she filed on me. She would cry asking me to get help and it never registered in my brain. Not until something drastic changed my life. I hate myself for it everyday and feel sad even when I have my girls with me. I can’t stop thinking of my ex wife. Crazy thing is, is that the last months together we finally got our marriage right. We were showing love and respect and putting the other first. It was all so natural. So much so that she wasn’t sure she wanted me to move out. Now that I’m out she is more standoffish. She says she is happy. I know I’m not. And not sure if and when I will be. I’m mentally exhausted by the end of the day and the pain is so bad. I would not wish this on anyone. Trying to stay strong but I question myself sometimes on how long I can maintain this. Just keep trying to be the best dad for my girls and remind myself it will be worse for them if I was not here.
It’s tough as a single dad but there is a way through, I promise. I talk about my own struggles on my channel if you think it’ll help you. Keep your head up and keep fighting. 🤝
This is me right now, the fear of the unknown. Same situation as you brother, everyday i told myself why do this happens to me. But we have to man it up for our daughter. We have to be strong amidts the strom and face it. We have to be a father.
She's pregnant! BUT She already threatened me about abortion. This marriage might not continue. Why well she's just done with me. Healing yes.. I'm Scared of marriage and parents are already planning to get me married again 😂... BUT THE CHILD... idk I'll fight for the custody if I have to. This child is my hope to continue.
Why would it be hard if that’s what you want? People have kids with the wrong people everyday and waste their lives away in obligation to stay together for the kids, something that only leads to resentment. How about being a kickass version of yourself and see your kids as much as you can. That’s just my perspective from mentorship.
Wowwww.. Jeeze, You spoke such absolute truth, awareness - almost as though you were telling my own very story.. Very much appreciated - Heavvy applause.

Hey bois, I felt the same pain my first week after my ex ran off with my kids, so I understand the initial impact, its life altering, demoralizing, and for some of us unfortunately it's the last straw... I was fortunate enough to be able to focus my pain and anger into letting my ADHD brain take over. That's right. I have mental health gifts! and I didn't even know it at the time, yet it allowed me to obsess over how I could get my life with my kids back! By the end of the next week I was in the solicitor generals office demanding a court date to protect my children's mental health and financial well being or they would have to arrest me to get me to leave ( multiple factors come into play for this ). By the next Monday I was self representing in front of the family court judge, that could only say. "despite the status quo, that the mother should have initial care of the children, until the court deems otherwise adherent to a lawful agreement or judgement. It would clearly be in the children's best interest that the father have interim day to day care until the mother has sufficiently proven to the court otherwise" Words spoken over 3 years, and now I have full custody and we are kicking ass as a little team of 3👍 main take away lawyers will drain you, read the laws, learn the basics, it shows the judge you care more than most rather than leave this most important situation to a stranger, and best part only costs you the time of work for court dates, while the ex is mounting massive legal fees everytime you e-mail their lawyer lol 👍 your welcome, best of luck bois
I’m a single dad of five kids trying to sort out the mess of a situation after divorce. I’ve got sole custody of them and I have had to take time off work to take care of them. I’ve managed to make a bunch of progress, climbing 30 K out of debt, no longer having to visit the food bank after we were financially devastated. The difficult thing is trying to get back into a routine that works, trying to get back to work and figure out a way to take care of the little ones when I can’t be home for them. It’s difficult to because I find as a man you get very little sympathy. Most people are like well you know it’s your fault for choosing her. I’ve had to deal with the pain of the person I once loved and thought I knew turned out only to be a façade of who she really was. Life is better now, and we are getting back on track however the logistics of trying to maintain work and caring for the kids all at the same time is Massive.

As a single father of a 2 and 3 year old I am devastated the mother cheated on me with her boss.. its ok she wanted to move on .. its been a year and my kids have always wlbeen with me .. she dint ask for them or care for them it was always me .. now she is filling for child support ... and the system will probably help her ..even now she's not taking the league.. how do I show court I am fit...
Hey brother, im pretty sure since you have full custody that you wont have to pay a dime. In fact typically its the non custodial parent that usually pays the primary custodial parent child support. Im no expert in this but this is what ive heard. Good luck brother
I'm a 24 year old single father with a 5 year old daughter i have no idea where the mom left to . I ve been depressed since I was 13 but now the depression is much worse since I've just recently became a single father life is heavy dude 😕
Live in the moment. Take life one day at a time. change ur focus and thinking about the responsibility ahead. There is no play book for parenting .just give ur 1001 and the universe will support u. There are social services that u can take advantage of and know that we men have the same strength just as the women do. I am a father of 3(2,7,10)and I won't trade this job for none other. U are not alone bruh
All my respect to you brother. I'm 25 and my daughter is 4 years old, I see you and feel with you. We'll get through this and become stronger toward the other side, pulling our daughters up by being steadfast examples of never giving up
That's very hard! Stay strong! Hug your children and be there for them. You get to have all the quality time with them. Have you accessed emergency supports or the support of friends and family?

Just became a single dad I could do get to see them every day for 3 hours but it got to work two part-time jobs that don't pay anything and you do just lose your identity when they leave you got nothing left and they're there they're great
It isn't easy, but there are lots of single parents out there raising their kids. It means making big lifestyle changes but if others are finding ways to do it you can find ways to do it also. You mentioned friends, and what about family? If they also have children then perhaps you could take turns babysitting one another's kids while you have to work? This video was posted a long time ago, but if you feel emptiness look for real fulfillment in spirituality, not in career or relationships with other people. Those things should never become a priority over your children.
I can’t help but respond to you John. Are you in such a situation ? Spirituality is all good, and it’s great. But humans need human connections and relationships, and they need their livelihood to live and eat etc.
@@Onlinesully Yes. And I'm not saying that human connections and relationships, and work are not important. Its just that once kids are in the picture we have to be VERY careful about how we prioritize. People laugh at the thought nowadays, but when it comes to raising stable kids to become successful adults, the standards really haven't changed all that much over the years. Good parenting is what they need the most. Without it they become vulnerable, and there are 'vampires' out there just waiting to corrupt their minds and take advantage of them. This dude is young, and he is a good looking man. He will get attention from from others left and right for the relationship stuff. The thing though is that when you have young children you ALWAYS have to think about them FIRST and put them FIRST. This means putting THEIR needs over and above your relationship and sexual needs. You can do both, but your kid has to come first. You can apply for assistance from the government. They give it to refugees and illegal aliens all the time. They will give it to you too if you're s single parent and you need a little help. Also, find suitable day care or after care to provide what your kid needs if you have to work. There are reputable resources out there that provide these services. Single fathers especially need to network more and support one another. As I mentioned in my previous post maybe they can take turns watching each others' kids when they don't have to be at work.
That's true the most emportan child in attitude your partner me im single mom I'm scared to new journey to my life new love before you love me love my child

Yes, it is hard to be a single parent, especially when you have no help from anyone. I am a single father to my 11 months old daughter and no matter how hard I try, it is not at all easy to find a job from home. Through all this hardship that I go through when I look at her, I know that it is worth it.
Had a daughter with my now ex-wife, born with complications that required 4 corrective surgeries 2000 miles from family and home town, while starting a business.
This hit me so hard . Im deployed right now and as soon as I deployed it feels like my wife just used it to leave me . I question my self worth. I want to end my life cause i feel like a constant disappointment. To my wife , my daughter , my friends and just me. Ive tried to be a good husband and a good father but everyone shits on me . I just avcept it and laugh it off but deep inside i want to curl into a ball and leave society. It feels as if I have 0 self worth. My daughter was my purpose for living and now that im deployed im detached for my only reason living. I hope i can move on with this and be proud of who i am in a few months but rn i just wanna end it all. At the end of the day who loves and appreciates a single father ?
The sad thing is, that this only has 5000 views and 30 comments. Men go through the same struggles and have the same feelings as women. But the difference is that society says we can't show it, and it's so f***** up as a single father myself to look at this video and realize that this is the only way that I can get emotional. I can't even talk to my friends about this because of the judgment
I feel you on the loneliness and the lack of support and the judgement from others. I am going through a divorce, there is no one in the world I can mention it to, my family has been shaming me, I do not feel safe around my very family. So I workout, pray, and build my company. Luckily I don't have any kids at the moment but this experience made me realize. there is a crazy world out there, and you gotta be careful about how you approach life. I send you all the love in the world, brother. Stay strong.
If they're going to judge your situation then they're not really your friends. Friends support you when you need help. I am a single parent. I know what its like. Men hang out with the boys to play games, drink, watch sports, and shoot the breeze. But they don't talk about stuff like this. A shame. I tried to start a local group for single fathers and there was no interest. Its hard. Men are not cultured to respond to things like this. Even thought they know they need the help they think it makes them look weak.

I'm a single dad. She keeps him. She is really difficult to talk and manage my sons time money and events. Man it sucks, specially when im actually trying to be active in my sons life.. the drive home after dropping him off. At least she gets nights and can cuddle him everyday. On my down days, it's just me. It does sucks for us the ones that are actually trying...
Had a daughter with my now ex-wife. We faced infertility and she wanted to pursue IVF. My child was born with severe complications that required 4 corrective surgeries. This all took place 2000 miles from family and home town. I had also starting a machine shop. I win the midlife crisis award! Listening to Alan Watts philosophy has been the only help, not this crap
It’s tough as a single dad but there is a way through, I promise. I talk about my own struggles on my channel if you think it’ll help you. Keep your head up and keep fighting. 🤝
Just the other day I saw an article reading that Single Fathers are always praised and mothers are shamed. When?! All I see is how single mothers are amazing, which they are, but hardly anything on fathers. Some of them even gave Fathers Day to mothers…
I am a single dad of 3 boys. they been with me for 5 years now. I was told by some poeple want me to give up my kids and then i can have more thim for my job
Don't worry about people. People suck, worry about your kids. You can work when you need later. For now you need to be with them when enjoy your time together, you only get that once.
Im a single father i have a two month baby it come with all kind of emotions mom got sick on Me went from bad to worse I miss her so much and if she can see our baby wow she would melt the baby name is miracle companion butler
You stay strong and be MEN brothers. You carry that damn burden....no matter how hard or unfair. Why? Your kids will carry it if you won't. They will blame themselves and hate themselves. The system is garbage yes, and unfair...but your sons and daughters, they are caught in the trap....often a helpless trap that ignores their quiet little voices. Do all you can to help them. Don't worry about your ex-wife. Yep, she moved on (they ALL do with little to no consequence), she is irrelevant. It's the kids. THEY didn't want you to go...THEY don't understand why mommy is trying to replace you. They have no clue why they can't can't see you....it's her. It's not their fault...do what you can kings. Just DON'T GIVE UP.
Here's a sadder thought. Having a Daughter. Enjoy the memories your making with her now, be the best father she'd want to share the world to and always show that she will always have your support because one day she is going to be throttled like a ragdoll in heat when she meets the love of her life. So when time comes you can always look back at better days.

Man this hits hard. I’m weeping. I’m a recovering alcoholic rebuilding my life and trying to be the best dad I can be. The mother of my son is the love of my life and knowing I’ll have to miss out on vacations, some holidays, and all that other good stuff is heart wrenching. Being around my son makes all those sad thoughts melt away. I can only hope I can learn to cope and ‘get over it’ with time.

I feel you on the loneliness and the lack of support and the judgement from others. I am going through a divorce, there is no one in the world I can mention it to, my family has been shaming me, I do not feel safe around my very family. So I workout, pray, and build my company. Luckily I don't have any kids at the moment but this experience made me realize. there is a crazy world out there, and you gotta be careful about how you approach life. I send you all the love in the world, brother. Stay strong.
I may not be a single dad or a man at all or a parent for that matter I'm actually not even an adult but to all you single dads out there working hard for your child/children. I wish you the best because I know my father figure is the best man I've ever had the blessing to be around and to learn from.

As a single dad who's lucky enough to be raising his own kids. I would advise any man who is at a point in life that he risks losing his kids: sacrifice it all pay what you need to pay, give her whatever needs to be given to keep the kids in your life for at least 50%. I kept the kids, that was about all I got to keep, 3years later, I've got everything back that I traded in and I have the kids. Fight like you have nothing to lose, cause you don't.. It's all or nothing, you will never fill the void of missing your kids, you will fill the void of missing your big house and shiny car. And don't worry, the best looking, big hearted loving women will line up at your door to be part of your life once word gets around what you did and why, promotions will present themselves the universe will bless you. People respect fighting men with a big heart and respect takes you a long long way.
I've been doing it for 12+ years and it's still hard saying goodbye after they visit. Im always wishing I had more time and they're almost adults now 😢
It’s tough as a single dad but there is a way through, I promise. I talk about my own struggles on my channel if you think it’ll help you. Keep your head up and keep fighting. 🤝

Not all of us end up being left. We become the ones who leave because they've grown fed up with violence and abuse. The anger and damage to our belongings becomes too much. I don't want my 3 year old son to keep growing up in a home where he witnesses his mother talk to his father like trash, kick and break belongings (including our son's toys) etc. The breaking point for me was when she spat in my face last night and said I wasn't worth respecting. This morning she cancelled her payments of our son's daycare and said she didn't care what happened to his education. I figured out how I can budget for it on top of all the other bills. Last night I anonymously called the cops and today they came around investigating. I told them how she spat in my face, broke the new range hood (I hadn't installed it yet), threw a container of oily food all over the bedroom floor (destroying my uni papers and books) and destroyed my son's toy supermarket. It's a breach of avo because she has one in place against her. 2nd one in 2 years. I haven't told her that I informed the police of the damage. I just made up the story that the neighbours reported it. Police believe so too. I didn't want to risk having more of my belongings damaged. I'm considering moving more stuff to my parents' home to protect it.

Lost my Wife due to a Car Accident in 2021. Raising my Kids Alone. Our Daughter was 3 years old at Time of Accident and was in the Car with Her Mom. She is 6 years old now and Her Brother 14 years old. After all The Trauma my Daughter could not be with a Nanny all Day. So i cut my Working Hours in Half so i can have Her with me when She gets out of School at 1pm. Some Days my Son looks after Her so i can go and Work in the Afternoons. They are Comfortable with each other. It is not Always Easy,but what is? Main thing is not to Never give up. Keep Praying. That pulled me through 🙏 Salute to All The Single Dads. Now i do not Feel Alone anymore. Keep up The Good Work and Stay Strong ❤ NV. South Africa 🇿🇦

First what you need to do is ACCEPT the reality. It can take a lot of time but it needs to be done. In order to move forward in life you need to realize where you at. It is ok to fail. We must make mistakes to become better versions of ourselves.

I was a single father for the first 4 years of my daughters life. I lived with family this entire time so I had someone there and it was easy. I got a parenting plan so the mother could be in the moms life. I met a girl and fell in love. I Married her. I got my first house and life was good for a year at leased. One day I went to work and when I came home there where cops there so I was initially concerned, so I jumped out of my car and ran inside to see what my wife was doing to my surprise she had all of her things packed and she was loading them out into my carport. She wouldn’t talk to me or tell me what was going on at all I was completely lost and clueless as to what the situation was. She told me she was leaving and never coming back, my heart sank as I walked her walk away now keep in mind she had a baby when I got with her and I raised that little girl for two years of her life almost 3 actually. So for the first time in my life I’m all alone in my house and I have my five-year-old daughter every other week. I’ve been alone now for three weeks and it’s very hard. Some days I want to just end everything. And other days I have motivation and the urge to push on for the betterment of my life. But that feeling is rare most of the time I just feel like a zombie walking around just trying to accomplish simple goals cooking cleaning doing laundry etc. I have this urge and this feeling of despair like I’m gonna be alone for the rest of my life because how can I date again and put myself through this again. Things never seem to work in my favor I’m just a father who works a lot and comes home and does simple tasks around the house. It’s very scary sometimes and sometimes I just don’t know what to do with myself, I get really really depressed most days and I just don’t really wanna do anything but lay there and think about the past and things that I could’ve done differently. I know I have to look at the silver lining in things and I know that I have to push on for my daughter regardless of my situation. But my God let me tell you it is so hard.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. It’s sounds like you are an amazing person. I think you did and are doing the best you can. Your wife that just walked out on you will someday regret it, trust me. She didn’t have the wisdom to know she had a great man. In the meantime, take care of yourself, your daughter, keep grinding you already have a home so I know you can provide. Strengthen your relationships with family or friends. The right women will come along but don’t ignore red flags of women. Don’t focus on her words,focus on her actions and her past. Good luck.

Yeah my girl ended our engagement. I have a 3 yr old and a step son who's 8. Who I raised myself. Who disrespected her at every corner and I tamed. I believe I love him more than my own blood son. She's leaving me for reddit comments on pornstar pics I left . Granted it was wrong. I told her I held myself accountable. I never cheated on her during our 5yr relationship. I'm surprised that she can easily walk away from our relationship and our kids like it never meant anything. I'm willing to work but she doesn't. Anyway...I'm scared as shit to move on withy ofe without my kids as much.
Men, do yourself a huge favor if you’re a single dad. Don’t get married again so long as your kids aren’t done growing up! Shit’s just too fucking complicated when you’re forking out half your money to one woman and trying to start something new with another. I’m not saying don’t date, or have relationships, just don’t try to build a new marriage or cohabitate with a new woman while you’re still paying the former because of court sanctioned extortion

I don't understand what divorced men morn the most. Is it the lost of not having the family thy hoped for,feeling alone,missing there ex becomes she left or the time they shared or just feeling sorry for them self because they have to take the whole responsibility for the kids? Please explain as I really don't understand which part is the most heavy one for them.

Im 50 and daughter 6. Not need to talk about school costs here privat and more . I really hesitate. I love her but single daddy?!? Cause of living before years other country there no Friends and Family support ...
We need to define single dad. I am legit a single dad with full custody of my children. I raise my children, provide for them, care for them on a full time basis without any child support from their mother. I don't receive any kind of support from their mother who exercises her visitation maybe one day a month. That's the definition of single dad. Not taking away from the other dads who are busting their butt for their kids, but there is a big difference.
It’s tough as a single dad but there is a way through, I promise. I talk about my own struggles on my channel if you think it’ll help you. Keep your head up and keep fighting. 🤝
I divorced her. I wanted things to work and I tried again. And I’m alone in my apartment having just ended things again… why did I have to fall in love with a toxic person? When you said who am I without my kids and my friends? I realized that was a question I’ve never asked myself. Thank you. I have hope now… to search for that answer.
He's seeing this all wrong. Add to that, he's being self indulgent. You always have purpose. You are always dad, near or far. Your baby is always your baby, no matter how many years have passed. You don't separate yourself from being dad ever, even when you are on your own time because anytime that phone rings it is like the bat signal over Gotham being lit, you are needed and that call takes priority. When you are spending time with your sons or daughters, no matter their age, no one takes the same level of importance that they hold. No one supercedes your offspring and that is ok because there is no greater feeling than being there for your child. The worry no matter what will be there. All those instincts, to be there for them first is always there and that is ok. You can enjoy your own life doing non dad things but you don't ever really separate from it. It is a part of you that grows from the day you find out you're going to be a dad. It isn't some separate component that you can detach like some sort of Lego piece, and even if you could, why would you? And your child is not your security. That's not your child's role to be some crutch. Empty nest syndrome does exist but it doesn't mean it's about you. It's about the bond with your daughter or son while finding ways to do your own thing more and more.
I was a single dad of 2 rambunctious boys. I got sole custody in 97, when they were 2 & 4yrs old. It was tough and i was a solo longhaul trucker. Running SC to CA and back, nearly 3 times a month. Hiring a nanny was expensive but they went w/me in summer. It was hard on me and I pay for it physically now. But wouldn't change a thing, if i had it to do over. Being their dad kept me focused and made a better man of me.
