Kabunda Kampengele hi did you feel any different to him iv just split and im worried my 18 month old will be different with me its worst feeling ever really is i miss her every second of the day
I’m actually a single mom, and I really appreciate these videos. I know the struggle. I got friends who are single dads, but they have less resources than I have actually. I hope this is changing for single dads. Yous guys are doing awsome! I think it’s much harder from what I see with my friends in the lack of resources. Beautiful stuff guys!
My 13 yr relationship is sadly about to end. I'm devastated for my 7yr old daughter I never wanted my child to grow up like I did. But my lady soon to be ex is done, she is in the "I don't know if I love you anymore" stage with me and it hurts. It all went downhill after our 1yr old son passed away in 2016. We couldn't bounce back for the better. It kills me to lose her but if that's what she wants I can't make her stay. I've done everything to show her things can change but she's not willing to. We're not bad people we were just raised different and I guess she still needs to discover herself. My crying stage is over I even cried while working in between my route's stops I just felt powerless and heartbroken But I'm stronger now and ready for whatever is coming. Thank you for your upload. Subbed👍✊

Puro Eastside Vato - I'm so sorry for your son's passing. May God bless you.
Can I tell you something, if you cried, thank God. By this time, I know you have evolved. Look out for what is better out there..I took my son and left my wife to wingle around with her other man(a childhood lover). Apparently, she just came with some members of her family 2 days ago to my dad's. I was called while at office, rushed to my dad's home and we chased them out. She was selfish(myself too at times) for the years we spent in marriage..I am a happy single dad right now..
Almost a year and happy that I'm a single father. I never tried finding dates, going out to socialize with others. majority of my time is going to work, playing video games, going to school, and taking care of my son. Nothing wrong with that..
@@YouDontKnowMebro69 They will never understand. You know how it feels that you can grab a glass of wine alone and you don't feel the need for company?-I've been down this road for a year now.
Wow you made my day. Happy to know there are other young single fathers like me. Me too I started my journey at 23. I'm now 28 with a 4 years old daughter. Take care.
I can totally relate. We single dad vloggers gotta stick together. I actually feel like I'm a better dad as a single dad because I appreciate the time so much more with my 2 boys.
So I bet nobody cares but when I was 15 I was stupid got drunk and also got a girl pregnant well she didn't want the baby so I took her in (the baby) and now I'm 28 with a amazing and beautiful 13 girl and even though sometimes I feel like curling in a ball and crying it makes me so happy to see her smile basically what I'm trying to say is if you feel like times are tough it will all work out in the end btw my profile picture is my little girl
What? Great for you..Thanks for standing in strong...I feel I need to have a conversation with you on how you've handled this all the way. I've been down this road for 1 year now). My wife ghosted on I and my boy and she rocked with her childhood lover..Apparently, she is trying to come around but my heart beat for her is dead gone. Reach me on WhatsApp:+256702143107
Nothing beats the reward of raising a child. It’s hard work but when they become their own person you will be so proud. I’d give up toys or anything to have another of my daughter or son.
I got full custody and a restraining order on the ex, liquidated and quit work. Starting over as a full time single dad w 2 autistic kids is overwhelming but amazing. Im glad to know im not alone and we are doing it right. Subbed
Just became a single dad of a one year old boy, no matter how tired I am from work, I spend every minute with him and have a great time doing it! It's a tough job but I am enjoying all our time together and it shows by the way he reacts with me
Ryan S how do you manage everything? do you have a good support system or do you use a daycare? how do you take care of things that you can't take your child with you? I have a one year old and no family and am a newly single dad and I don't even know how to handle the situation
Nicholas Fresch hey bro. I'm in the same boat, my son is 12 weeks old. His mom is literally packing her things now. Just know everything will be okay. I have no clue what I'm gonna do. I'd rule out daycare unless you can get the cost subsidized. The no family thing is tough, I was planning on having my mom watch him and pay her what I can. It'll be a tough journey man but at least your not alone.
I'm a single dad too & i really appreciate you for putting this video out Lol I never thought about being a single dad. It's crazy But I turned to RUclips to find help & I found your video
I understand how you feel. You were attached to the baby mama. As time moves on, she'll become like a TV advert and you will love your child like nothing else exists in this world..
I have been a single father since my girls were born,and they are 10 and twins 6,my philosophy is 1: I never talk bad about their mom 2: I make time to treat my girls every day 3: Remember that your girls did not come with clear cut instructions and yes you will make mistakes and you and your girls will learn from them. My ex left me with a little girl when she was 3 days old and no diapers or formula,3 years later I tried to give her mom a second chance ,it didn't work but she got pregnant again and left ,9 months later I got a phone call from my ex in laws to inform me that I was the father of twin girls and if I didn't come to the hospital and claim the girls they would be put in foster care and adopted out,one of the twins is very intelligent and the other is severely developmently disabled and I started working from home just to be there for the best angels ever!!! And whenever we go out to dinner or to the store and people look at me funny when we go get clothes for them ,I just smile and say ," you are just jealous that you don't have 3 angels that call you Daddy"
Yes sir. It's a really hard road but if your relationship wasn't working for you or your kids, I believe it's best to get them (and you) out of it and become a happier person.
Full Time Single dad of 6 for the past 3 years now (2 adopted - niece & nephew) + 2 boys & 2 girls.....ages 7 (b), 8 (g), 13 (g) 16 (b), 18 (b), 20 (g)........ps: im 39.......unhappy, struggling, working on it. Thanks for the video.
Why do feminists say parenting is the hardest job in the world but single fathers find it rewarding in every way? Why do women take the burden of children when fathers consider it a privilege?
I’m a single dad. I work all day and I’m tired when I get home but I push through and make sure they are happy and feel loved but I feel soooo alone. I don’t understand the double standard of how a guy is supposed to step up to the plate with a single mom but a woman is warned not to get involved with a single dad because of the responsibility.
over one year ago i had to leave, i couldnt stand being in a miserable relationship anymore, constantly walking on eggshells, no affection, the house was starting to fill up with clutter, she was impossible to live with.. it tore me to the core. i never wanted to have a broken family. ive moved in to my mums. i even tried to make it work several times but realised she will never change. i suffer deeply not seeing my kids (7 & 4) i only see them on weekends.. i pick them up Friday and return them Saturday night. Im really trying to pull my life together, but i feel so full of doubt and dwell alot, im struggling to get out of being self destructive. I hide it very well and most people see me as happy, but i feel hollow on the inside. im worried im destined to live the rest of my life convincing myself im happy. social interaction is becoming very draining for me. Thanks for your video, im obviously looking for proof of hope.
Every single mom says oh it’s so hard isn’t it!? I’m like it was way harder to be without them! in my mind And I do it alone for real, except for public school. No child support no overnight with there mom and no family close. And I work over the road for the railroad. I don’t say anything to anyone else so thanks for letting me vent.
I am a single dad. I am fighting for my child custudy for the past 5 years. Finally i got temporary custody. I got exausted everyday but in the inside i can't describe my joy looking after my son myself.
I feel you man.Its like a reset were we have to figure out how to deal with everything on your own.Im a father of 2 and been raising them alone for 4years.
Thank you. Thank you for this video. I relate exactly to everything you said. My kids are 4 and 2, girl and boy. And all those principles you laid out are exactly how my life has been the past 18 months.
Thank you for this video. I may come back to it frequently. We have just decided to split with a 5 and 3 year old. I’m terrified but I know I’m a great dad and she’s a great mom so it’s for the best.
Nice video man just recently became a single dad and it is tough. Having to cut my hours down from full time to part time hours. For my kids they're only little so keeping their routine is important
Jason Kindleysides Just saw this comment, man. It is really tough for sure. I agree that keeping a routine is very helpful in the transition. The least amount of disturbance to the norm, the better.Good luck with everything, it's a tough road but hopefully for the best in your case..
Props to him on finding a new partner. Flings are easy-finding a great relationship with a person who is single,available and emotionally healthy while being a busy single dad is more difficult.
I've been extremely fortunate to find a woman who is not only an excellent partner, but also a wonderful step mother for my girls. I count my blessings every day for her.

Thank you for the video....I relate so much, even though you're 2 years ahead of me....one of the best / nicest / insightful videos on RUclips (I mean that).
The saddest thing is you're only seeing them at weekends. I hope that you can see more of your daughters as times passes. You seem like you're doing an amazing amount of work, I'll need to watch some of your other stuff.
I am and it's very hard. I've filed for a modification of custody and am in the early stages of that...not looking forward to being in court or the emotions that come with it, but I feel like I'm doing the right thing for my girls.
@@TheFitDadNation you made my day man. Keep working hard, you are an awesome dad, and your kids love you tons. Your reward shall come. Keep posting this videos man, there is so much negativity towards single parents and you make the difference.
Your video is inspirational,thanks very much for posting. Im in stage where I've nearly loose my head so any help like yours means a lot. Much appreciated.
Hii. Reach me on +256702143107(WhatsApp). You can't lose your head while some of us are out here having won the battle of literally becoming psychos or even thinking of taking our own lives at one point.
i got full custody ex wifes in prison. and that is the only thing thats tough. my little girl is the sweetest thing ever. she has never been any kind of a problem. really. I got a buisness my employees handle. so no problems financially and I get to spend all my time focused on her. its great. just cant understand why my ex didnt want to be a mom. chose f@#$€n drugs over a family. I tell her that her mom is sick and needs help. what else can I say man. she loves her mom. she is just the sweetest kid ever. very sensitive. I havent even thought of another relationship. I know she couldnt take it. she is very possessive. my buisness makes me kinda high profile in the community and these parents know my ex and her situation. I dont know what to tell this child. I would rather her not hear it from someone else. but how do you tell a child her mother turned her back on us for drugs. I dont want to alienate her like I said she loves her mom. can you offer any advice?...oh I gotta say shes a cheerleader. I grew up playing football and now im assistant to the cheer coach lol who would have thought...I think your awesome
im so happy to see this.. i wish all single parents see the greatness. in being a single parent. im a single mother and love it. Its the most happiest relaxing. thing ever. no need for a second opinion .. and you get all the love.
Thanks for the Vid Steve. Nice name BTW. :)I have been a father now for 9 years. I have 4 wonderful; children. 9, 6, 4, and 16 months. The baby is my only girl. I initiated our divorce. My ex is addicted to work and animals and cannot stop ...it's a very long story. I got primary and have them 4 (+) days a week. It's very challenging and everywhere I go I get "You have your hands full". I hear it so much that I just laugh and ignore it. They have no idea. None. But I am a great father. I am avidly involved in their lives 150% and they know it. We do everything together and I wouldn't have it any other way. We are bonded like there is no tomorrow. Some of the stuff you mentioned, I have done since their birth..hence mom's a workaholic. So a lot of this I have always done. I love it. Yes it's a tiny bit more challenging alone but I've been alone for years so that comes from actually LIVING alone. If a date comes along..so be it, but that is no longer a priority. Thanks again Steve!!
Thanks for sharing this video. I guess you have a bit more time to yourself if you are only seeing your children 2 days per week. But I acknowledge the strain it will be having on everyone involved! I have a 2 year old son and I'm very unhappy in my marriage. My wife says she still loves me but whenever anything frustrates her, she turns violent. Yelling, swearing, vile put downs, grabbing me, kicking me, punching me. I'm so sick of it. Even when she will sleep or stay in the bedroom watching her phone whilst our son is out in front of the TV. Thank God her father is helping me because I'm a shift worker and can't manage it all on my own. She also works full time but doesn't spend enough time with him. I went to collect a hire car and drop off my car for repairs yesterday afternoon. Also went grocery shopping after dropping my wife off at home. I came back an hr later to discover our son hadn't eaten and she had ordered delivery for herself. She was asleep on the bed with my son sitting alone with nothing to eat watching TV. That hurt. I tried to clean up, unpack, make him something to eat and she came out in the middle of it. Started yelling and insulting me about some door frames not being painted yet. Her father had to take my son away outside to protect him. He isn't well. A bit sick and teething with his molars. After she cooled down, she mentioned wanting to travel with me. I asked why and she said I'm still her husband. What a joke...cycle of abuse. Kick a man when you don't get what you want... She tried to hug him last night in my bed (we often sleep in separate rooms) and he pushed her away a few times and said get away every time she tried to kiss him. Especially when she tried to tell me to shut up or raised her voice at me. It is having an impact on my son. My parents are very supportive for me to live with them if I decide to leave. I'm just going for specialist DV counselling next week. I need time to sort things out. A support line reminded me to have a safe plan in place before attempting to leave. I have tried to leave a few years ago before our son came into the picture and she went full on manic. Cutting my clothes, standing at the rear of my car threatening to smash my laptop into the rear window etc to get me to stay. Even running in and out of our bedroom claiming she has a boyfriend. I said she can bring him to me then whilst I pack. Why hide him. All lies btw. She even tried to get a rise out of me by claiming she had sex with men every time when she went back to her home country each year without me. Again it was all lies and she admitted she was saying it to try and stop me and hurt me. I care so much for our son and don't want to keep putting up with her violence.
Alot of talk man! I'm x military, got custody of my son when he was 1. If he ever did anything wrong? I put him on my lap and told him I loved him and he upset me for what he did and hugged him. I'm older now and he helps me, we went fishinig today. He'll be 33 next Friday. My son has never disrespected me, nor did I disrespect him. He is my best friend!
Yes I am going to follow your channel we have been separated with mum of my daughter 5months ago I couldn't let go and I was dying inside me I was feeling guilty for everything I have done bad I could not see any positive even if there were lots. But recently I am starting to coming out from the darkness I have been working hard to stay sober and have work but I didn't fail my Daughter gave me so much power and Yeahhh being single dad is amazing... Its easy Girls parties fun. Noo child work and self development yesssss
I was in an awful marriage...I have been divorced 2 yrs and I'm extremely sad...depressed...lost....I cry when I don't have them...I can find anything that makes me happy...I'm broken inside
Tough is a word. I've got my 2 daughters (6 and 5) while their mom has almost come to the end of her affair-relationship in a different country, now expressing how she misses her family. Tough? wouldn't i be foolish to accept her back....again...(yup). I seem to struggle with understanding the difference between forgiveness and acceptance....especially with my deep desire to be accepted myself! Thanks for your video Steve!
Someone in the comments below made the point that everyone should be doing this with their children regardless of relationship status. I agree I have my children full time one mum lives oversea and the other is an hour and a half away. The point I want to make is that being a parent is hard work and important work. I crave decent adult conversation which is hard to have with kids around. I am happy and try my hardest to do things right but you have to compromise completely to have a good relationship with your children, by that I mean you might have a later dinner time and you might give them a later bed time main thing is they get all your love and healthy food etc. you can’t be on top of every little thing all the time with four kids and work with little income. Stress is going to be ever present but you can just get on with life the best you can so don’t judge yourself to much and so on and so on. Let’s face it raising children well is hard no matter what. Attention and love are what is needed by any child.
Hi! all the things you say is true, i ll be checking everything in your web page! Congratulations for your channel and i wish all single dad´s success in this part of our lifes. Greetings from Mexico!
I’ve been in a relationship with the single dad have 2 kids 13 and 11 he’s house is kinda far from my house so i always travel to him for 2 hours since i still don’t have a car coz i still dont passed my road test. So every other weekend I’m with him and with the kids im close with the kids so the other weekend kids is with the mom. So my boyfriend is free no kids he never effort going to city with me but he has a time to go with he’s brother and gf to help some stuff. We’ve been almost 5 years he never proposed to me and he’s family really loves me also he’s not working sometimes i feel he just using me for money but sometimes i feel he loves me,
I've tried to change many things, our communication habits, how we go about finding solutions to disagreements, the activities we do, the approach I take with her, giving more affection, giving her space.. you name it! Now the only change to be made is to part ways, sadly. The crap thing is that she's already talking about limiting my access! Bad times ahead.
+Bradley Clark If you've exhausted all your options and feel like you've given 100% and it still isn't working, then yes, it sounds like the right move to split. It kills me to hear that about having limited access. Your best hope is to help her understand how important your role as father is. If she is reasonable (big if), then you may have a chance.
Yes that's my plan. She's just full of hatred towards me for no good reason. Her mother has also been instrumental in creating problems and further rifts between us. We've not registered the lad yet either so I anticipate my surname being overlooked now (besides being previously agreed on) and I may not even make it on the birth certificate. I just know he will always be used as a bargaining chip and a weapon to hurt me! Beyond livid!! It's me she'll hurt, sure but the lad just doesn't deserve any of it. He's bloody 5 days old bless him. Heartbroken mate.
+Bradley Clark I think having an ex filled with anger and hatred is common. My divorce was pretty straightforward and we both agreed that it was time to split. No tears and not much emotion because we had just exhausted all those over the years. Yet, not she is very bitter and angry. I think it's par for the course and you just have to stay strong and remind yourself that there is nothing you can do to change her opinion of you now nor can you control her behavior. It's on you, bro..
Actually coming here for a book I'm writing. I hate writing inaccurate information, but I will never have a situation where I may end up a single father. (Big reason being I'm a woman) So I came for the sake of accuracy. Finding this super helpful!
thx for Sharing. Being a Single dad with a RUclips channel I was thinking about talking about my experiences on my channel too. Thx again for sharing. Subscribed to ur channel. look forward to more videos from you.
We do hiking and other adventures. I also do emergency preparedness videos. I haven't actually brought up the single dad thing except I mention it on my channel description in the about section. Go check us out when u get the chance. :)
Believe it or not some men would do anything to have that opportunity. When my ex left me I wasnt able to see my daughter as often as I'd like and seeing her grow without me hurts. Never felt anxiety until I had to start taking her back to her mother on Sunday nights
My house is so quiet now! I see the kids when I can but I work a lot so she has the ongoing stress of bringing up two kids by herself! She wanted the car? She didn't get the car! Now she's stressed and pissed!! lol! I'm off to the pub!
...my brief back story; my first baby is due any day now. a little boy. sadly he is coming into a horrible, negative and volatile relationship that my partner and I have. Cannot seem to communicate effectively with her, ultimately it's going to end soon after a tremendous amount of energy and effort to change things from me and none from her. I know that I'm not and can't be the man and dad I can be in this existence. I need to be a dad with a zest for life. it's a very very upsetting, challenging and difficult time for me.
I just found out my ex is pregnant and it's mine. So you can imagine how crazy it is. I'm lucky that me and her get along so well bit it is still going to be really tough. Thanks for putting this video out so people like me can be hopeful and keep our chins up.
I wish you were the father of my baby, I'm 43 and my 50 year old boyfriend abounded me as soon my birth control failed. What a beautiful father your children have!!! God bless you !!
I’ve been single parent for about 2 months now.. I’m 23 have a 2 year old son which is a double of me I’ve just watched this video and I’m starting to see things much clear being heart broken was something new to me.. she dropped it on the spot one day and said we are over! Like this guy said when he came home from work he’d spend time with his daughters and then just sit on the sofa a watch tv. I lost so much motivation in me when I was with my ex partner I felt trapped as well being a single dad was hard for me for the first few weeks now I look at it as it was the best experience my son is my main priority I know she’s letting me see him when I want and take him when I want but I know one day that will end because she’s heartless I just want to say for men it’s much harder because the first things mums do is use there kids as a weapon which in my eyes is wrong as fuck they act like we have no feelings or anything ... I’ve had issues after issue with my ex partner I felt like I was doing the right things as a boyfriend and as parent I paid rent I paid all the bills I put food on the table she had everything I just never expected her to turn her back on me like she has... I’m over that now and it’s time to focus on my son and be a role model
Hi, I have two kids 8yo girl & 2yo son. My ex-fiancé slit when my son was 14mths(2 months later my father passed away, lost job, lost everything), and so my daughter is forced to leave with her mom. We spend maybe an hour or so a day out of a months also few short phone calls but now faded to no communication. When we do see each other it's smiles and laughter then painful cries as she's yanked off of me..everyone on both sides of the family knows where she truly wants to be but can't really do much on my end as of now but she's now making that transition you spoke of where she doesn't need daddy the embarrassed dad teen phase so it's hard that when we left off it was princess & King daddy to nothing so it seems please any advise or opinion or ideas to get those years back or if I ever will? Normally I'm well prepared for handling all types of emotions but my little girl....jus the thought of her or sound of a random girls laughter breaks me down like a baby.. Thank you for your time!
I know some people are bad partners but good parents......Sometimes relationships don't work because the couple isn't compatible, not necessarily because 1 or both people are bad people. Wouldn't a single dad make a good father? because you know he's going to be responsible and stay with the kids.
My wife left me taking the kids citing domestic abuse just to get a council flat for free. The Social Services after interviewing me closed the case through lack of evidence (and the fact she owns a flat abroad) have advised her about having evidence and proof which she never had as it didn't happen. Now she wont let me see the kids as it was advice by the social worker (advisory only) but she thinks its the law? Now she can't come back to the house as they deemed it unsafe due to what was said (lies) and she took the car saying she needed it but I had to tell her she wasn't insured anymore so I got it back. She is living with a friend now and i'm pretty stress free.She pops over once a week so the kids can see me but we end up bickering. Also I haven't paid her any money as she wont let me see the kids on a regular basis so why should I pay for them? Iv'e spent enough on them for years! She earns enough anyway to survive and can't afford a Lawyer so I'm just going to wait it out.... See what happens. I also had to warn her is she leaves the country to go on holiday without my consent then that I believe is child abduction so no holiday for her this year!
Hi mate i just split from my partner and my 18 montj old girl the pain from not seeing her and no more family time etc we fought everyday was terrible how long does it take till you were over it and was in a happy place what did you do im abit of a mess and need support bigtime will they still love you the same?
Do you best to show up every day for your kids and they will be just fine. Getting over a relationship takes time, often years, but you have to embrace the healing process not fight it. Be strong.
my ex love her to death she loves my 7 yearold and 3 yearold but she doesn't want them any more .have a huge opportunity to make money and support them only thing is we well have to move from little tiny town in northern new mexico away from my support group to tempe az trying to find ways for them to transition as easy as possible trying also to find a night time babysitter seems to be a problem . my ex wants me to take them so she can go start a new family with her 23 year old boy friend mind you we are both 30 feels like she is haveing a mid life crisis . I am trying to stay civil about all this I want them to still know there mom but she wants to basically leave them with me and do her own thing any advice for night care and juggling a move
That's a tough situation, Wesley. Your going to have to be the "adult" here and make the good decisions because it sounds like she isn't. Stay strong, brother..
Single dads stay winning! Keep doing what you do to any single dads who'll read this. From a proud uni girl who got raised by one💪🏼
+Kabunda Kampengele We try!
Kabunda Kampengele Thank you ☝🚶👶
Kabunda Kampengele thank you
Kabunda Kampengele add me Death2YT@Instagram i have 3
Kabunda Kampengele hi did you feel any different to him iv just split and im worried my 18 month old will be different with me its worst feeling ever really is i miss her every second of the day
I’m actually a single mom, and I really appreciate these videos. I know the struggle. I got friends who are single dads, but they have less resources than I have actually. I hope this is changing for single dads. Yous guys are doing awsome! I think it’s much harder from what I see with my friends in the lack of resources. Beautiful stuff guys!
My 13 yr relationship is sadly about to end. I'm devastated for my 7yr old daughter I never wanted my child to grow up like I did.
But my lady soon to be ex is done, she is in the "I don't know if I love you anymore" stage with me and it hurts.
It all went downhill after our 1yr old son passed away in 2016.
We couldn't bounce back for the better. It kills me to lose her but if that's what she wants I can't make her stay. I've done everything to show her things can change but she's not willing to. We're not bad people we were just raised different and I guess she still needs to discover herself.
My crying stage is over I even cried while working in between my route's stops I just felt powerless and heartbroken
But I'm stronger now and ready for whatever is coming.
Thank you for your upload. Subbed👍✊
Puro Eastside Vato - I'm so sorry for your son's passing. May God bless you.
I hope you are doing well.
Heavy stuff, man!! So very sorry about your losses. Time will heal all. Be patient, it will get better!
Can I tell you something, if you cried, thank God. By this time, I know you have evolved. Look out for what is better out there..I took my son and left my wife to wingle around with her other man(a childhood lover). Apparently, she just came with some members of her family 2 days ago to my dad's. I was called while at office, rushed to my dad's home and we chased them out. She was selfish(myself too at times) for the years we spent in marriage..I am a happy single dad right now..
Keep on trucking
Almost a year and happy that I'm a single father. I never tried finding dates, going out to socialize with others. majority of my time is going to work, playing video games, going to school, and taking care of my son. Nothing wrong with that..
Nothing at all. No hurry to jump back into dating. Just enjoy being by yourself and being a great dad..
Same here bro. My friends just don’t understand.
@@YouDontKnowMebro69 They will never understand. You know how it feels that you can grab a glass of wine alone and you don't feel the need for company?-I've been down this road for a year now.
Same my dude !!
been a single dad since I was 23 my kids are now 9 and six and it's the best experience I'm going through I learn so much every day
tripl F thank you
Wow you made my day. Happy to know there are other young single fathers like me. Me too I started my journey at 23. I'm now 28 with a 4 years old daughter. Take care.
I'm 23 and I have 2 kids 5 and 2 just split up with my kids mother. Your post makes me feel alot better!
I can totally relate. We single dad vloggers gotta stick together. I actually feel like I'm a better dad as a single dad because I appreciate the time so much more with my 2 boys.
So I bet nobody cares but when I was 15 I was stupid got drunk and also got a girl pregnant well she didn't want the baby so I took her in (the baby) and now I'm 28 with a amazing and beautiful 13 girl and even though sometimes I feel like curling in a ball and crying it makes me so happy to see her smile basically what I'm trying to say is if you feel like times are tough it will all work out in the end btw my profile picture is my little girl
Amazing That You Took Responsibility For Her. Also Your Daughter Looks Pretty. I'm not a Pedo btw Im the Same Age as Her.
beyond respect amazing story
Kaden Conner blessed! I’m having my child taken away from me and I’m only getting her weekends now.
What? Great for you..Thanks for standing in strong...I feel I need to have a conversation with you on how you've handled this all the way. I've been down this road for 1 year now). My wife ghosted on I and my boy and she rocked with her childhood lover..Apparently, she is trying to come around but my heart beat for her is dead gone. Reach me on WhatsApp:+256702143107
Nothing beats the reward of raising a child. It’s hard work but when they become their own person you will be so proud. I’d give up toys or anything to have another of my daughter or son.
I got full custody and a restraining order on the ex, liquidated and quit work. Starting over as a full time single dad w 2 autistic kids is overwhelming but amazing. Im glad to know im not alone and we are doing it right. Subbed
😊
Wow, that's a great thing to hear. Keep strong, brother!
Keep strong bro
Just became a single dad of a one year old boy, no matter how tired I am from work, I spend every minute with him and have a great time doing it! It's a tough job but I am enjoying all our time together and it shows by the way he reacts with me
Keep up the good work, Ryan!
Ryan S how do you manage everything? do you have a good support system or do you use a daycare? how do you take care of things that you can't take your child with you? I have a one year old and no family and am a newly single dad and I don't even know how to handle the situation
Nicholas Fresch hey bro. I'm in the same boat, my son is 12 weeks old. His mom is literally packing her things now. Just know everything will be okay. I have no clue what I'm gonna do. I'd rule out daycare unless you can get the cost subsidized. The no family thing is tough, I was planning on having my mom watch him and pay her what I can. It'll be a tough journey man but at least your not alone.
Don Vito 10 im a new single father of a 1 year old how are you doing it
hey, how you doing
I'm a single dad too & i really appreciate you for putting this video out
Lol I never thought about being a single dad. It's crazy
But I turned to RUclips to find help & I found your video
But do you believe you can still get real and caring ladies
Don't judge others because of your past
Little advise
You're video saved my sanity. I love my child but I just feel so alone and l felt like I would never be happy. Thanks
Glad to hear it, Moses. Stay strong, dude..
keep doin the right thing ! unconditional love is the best thing ever
Moses Auzier u will find a true partner! Stay positive
How is it coming along?
I understand how you feel. You were attached to the baby mama. As time moves on, she'll become like a TV advert and you will love your child like nothing else exists in this world..
I have been a single father since my girls were born,and they are 10 and twins 6,my philosophy is
1: I never talk bad about their mom
2: I make time to treat my girls every day
3: Remember that your girls did not come with clear cut instructions and yes you will make mistakes and you and your girls will learn from them.
My ex left me with a little girl when she was 3 days old and no diapers or formula,3 years later I tried to give her mom a second chance ,it didn't work but she got pregnant again and left ,9 months later I got a phone call from my ex in laws to inform me that I was the father of twin girls and if I didn't come to the hospital and claim the girls they would be put in foster care and adopted out,one of the twins is very intelligent and the other is severely developmently disabled and I started working from home just to be there for the best angels ever!!! And whenever we go out to dinner or to the store and people look at me funny when we go get clothes for them ,I just smile and say ," you are just jealous that you don't have 3 angels that call you Daddy"
well said, Jon
Props to the single father's. It's not difficult it comes natural.
thanks man, really helpful words. I'm going through a separation and need all the encouragement I can get. Very helpful advise. Thanks again
Yes sir. It's a really hard road but if your relationship wasn't working for you or your kids, I believe it's best to get them (and you) out of it and become a happier person.
clock655321 same herr mate worst pain inside iv felt
Full Time Single dad of 6 for the past 3 years now (2 adopted - niece & nephew) + 2 boys & 2 girls.....ages 7 (b), 8 (g), 13 (g) 16 (b), 18 (b), 20 (g)........ps: im 39.......unhappy, struggling, working on it. Thanks for the video.
U will be rewarded brother just wait on it.
I respect single parents tremendously
Why do feminists say parenting is the hardest job in the world but single fathers find it rewarding in every way? Why do women take the burden of children when fathers consider it a privilege?
I’m a single dad. I work all day and I’m tired when I get home but I push through and make sure they are happy and feel loved but I feel soooo alone. I don’t understand the double standard of how a guy is supposed to step up to the plate with a single mom but a woman is warned not to get involved with a single dad because of the responsibility.
Keep doing the best you can. There is nothing more important than being a good father.
over one year ago i had to leave, i couldnt stand being in a miserable relationship anymore, constantly walking on eggshells, no affection, the house was starting to fill up with clutter, she was impossible to live with.. it tore me to the core. i never wanted to have a broken family. ive moved in to my mums. i even tried to make it work several times but realised she will never change. i suffer deeply not seeing my kids (7 & 4) i only see them on weekends.. i pick them up Friday and return them Saturday night. Im really trying to pull my life together, but i feel so full of doubt and dwell alot, im struggling to get out of being self destructive. I hide it very well and most people see me as happy, but i feel hollow on the inside. im worried im destined to live the rest of my life convincing myself im happy. social interaction is becoming very draining for me. Thanks for your video, im obviously looking for proof of hope.
Hope all is well in your life now, Tobias.
Every single mom says oh it’s so hard isn’t it!?
I’m like it was way harder to be without them!
in my mind
And I do it alone for real, except for public school. No child support no overnight with there mom and no family close.
And I work over the road for the railroad.
I don’t say anything to anyone else so thanks for letting me vent.
Great video brother that is exactly what I need to hear
You are welcome, Jason
Watching this video in 2020 and it helps me a lot as a single father ! Thanks a lot
Glad to hear it, my man. Stay strong.
This made me cry. You’re are absolutely right, I just broke up with my wife. 😭
I am a single dad. I am fighting for my child custudy for the past 5 years. Finally i got temporary custody. I got exausted everyday but in the inside i can't describe my joy looking after my son myself.
Sage advice, Steve. Thank you for taking the time to produce and post. Stay strong!
Best of luck, Jeff. Stay strong.
I have a baby girl, and I am a happy single dad, relationships are stressful, especially if the woman is crazy.
My daughters mom passed away a month ago! Thanks for the content. I’m in some uncharted territory, but I think we’ll be okay.
Stay strong, brother.
I feel you man.Its like a reset were we have to figure out how to deal with everything on your own.Im a father of 2 and been raising them alone for 4years.
Yes sir!
Thank you. Thank you for this video. I relate exactly to everything you said. My kids are 4 and 2, girl and boy. And all those principles you laid out are exactly how my life has been the past 18 months.
Hope all is well with you and your family.
i love being a single parent ...i thing we make better moms
Word?
Thank you for this video. I may come back to it frequently. We have just decided to split with a 5 and 3 year old. I’m terrified but I know I’m a great dad and she’s a great mom so it’s for the best.
Nice video man just recently became a single dad and it is tough. Having to cut my hours down from full time to part time hours. For my kids they're only little so keeping their routine is important
Jason Kindleysides Just saw this comment, man. It is really tough for sure. I agree that keeping a routine is very helpful in the transition. The least amount of disturbance to the norm, the better.Good luck with everything, it's a tough road but hopefully for the best in your case..
Watching this vidéo in 2022 again and still love it.
Props to him on finding a new partner. Flings are easy-finding a great relationship with a person who is single,available and emotionally healthy while being a busy single dad is more difficult.
I've been extremely fortunate to find a woman who is not only an excellent partner, but also a wonderful step mother for my girls. I count my blessings every day for her.
Thank you for the video....I relate so much, even though you're 2 years ahead of me....one of the best / nicest / insightful videos on RUclips (I mean that).
I honestly appreciate that. Wishing you the best.
The saddest thing is you're only seeing them at weekends. I hope that you can see more of your daughters as times passes. You seem like you're doing an amazing amount of work, I'll need to watch some of your other stuff.
I am and it's very hard. I've filed for a modification of custody and am in the early stages of that...not looking forward to being in court or the emotions that come with it, but I feel like I'm doing the right thing for my girls.
@@TheFitDadNation you made my day man. Keep working hard, you are an awesome dad, and your kids love you tons. Your reward shall come. Keep posting this videos man, there is so much negativity towards single parents and you make the difference.
Thank you for sharing your experience and tips.
You bet
34 years old with a 3 year old boy...so much going on I'm job not making things easier for me but I'm holding on so tuff....
Stay strong...
Your video is inspirational,thanks very much for posting.
Im in stage where I've nearly loose my head so any help like yours means a lot.
Much appreciated.
Hii. Reach me on +256702143107(WhatsApp). You can't lose your head while some of us are out here having won the battle of literally becoming psychos or even thinking of taking our own lives at one point.
Hope things work out ok for you.
i got full custody ex wifes in prison. and that is the only thing thats tough. my little girl is the sweetest thing ever. she has never been any kind of a problem. really. I got a buisness my employees handle. so no problems financially and I get to spend all my time focused on her. its great. just cant understand why my ex didnt want to be a mom. chose f@#$€n drugs over a family. I tell her that her mom is sick and needs help. what else can I say man. she loves her mom. she is just the sweetest kid ever. very sensitive. I havent even thought of another relationship. I know she couldnt take it. she is very possessive. my buisness makes me kinda high profile in the community and these parents know my ex and her situation. I dont know what to tell this child. I would rather her not hear it from someone else. but how do you tell a child her mother turned her back on us for drugs. I dont want to alienate her like I said she loves her mom. can you offer any advice?...oh I gotta say shes a cheerleader. I grew up playing football and now im assistant to the cheer coach lol who would have thought...I think your awesome
Thank you for sharing this video ! So much encouragement
You're so welcome.
Brand new single dad here. Looking for advice and help. Very very scary right now.
im so happy to see this.. i wish all single parents see the greatness. in being a single parent. im a single mother and love it. Its the most happiest relaxing. thing ever. no need for a second opinion .. and you get all the love.
Good for you, Gladys!
All very true man. Thanks for making this video. I'm a single dad of two young daughters so I definitely get it. God bless you and your family.
Same to you, brother. Stay strong.
Thanks for the Vid Steve. Nice name BTW. :)I have been a father now for 9 years. I have 4 wonderful; children. 9, 6, 4, and 16 months. The baby is my only girl. I initiated our divorce. My ex is addicted to work and animals and cannot stop ...it's a very long story. I got primary and have them 4 (+) days a week. It's very challenging and everywhere I go I get "You have your hands full". I hear it so much that I just laugh and ignore it. They have no idea. None. But I am a great father. I am avidly involved in their lives 150% and they know it. We do everything together and I wouldn't have it any other way. We are bonded like there is no tomorrow. Some of the stuff you mentioned, I have done since their birth..hence mom's a workaholic. So a lot of this I have always done. I love it. Yes it's a tiny bit more challenging alone but I've been alone for years so that comes from actually LIVING alone. If a date comes along..so be it, but that is no longer a priority. Thanks again Steve!!
Sounds like you're doing a damn fine, job Steven! The world needs more hands on dads and I'm the same way with my girls!
Thanks for sharing this video. I guess you have a bit more time to yourself if you are only seeing your children 2 days per week. But I acknowledge the strain it will be having on everyone involved!
I have a 2 year old son and I'm very unhappy in my marriage. My wife says she still loves me but whenever anything frustrates her, she turns violent. Yelling, swearing, vile put downs, grabbing me, kicking me, punching me. I'm so sick of it. Even when she will sleep or stay in the bedroom watching her phone whilst our son is out in front of the TV. Thank God her father is helping me because I'm a shift worker and can't manage it all on my own. She also works full time but doesn't spend enough time with him.
I went to collect a hire car and drop off my car for repairs yesterday afternoon. Also went grocery shopping after dropping my wife off at home. I came back an hr later to discover our son hadn't eaten and she had ordered delivery for herself. She was asleep on the bed with my son sitting alone with nothing to eat watching TV. That hurt. I tried to clean up, unpack, make him something to eat and she came out in the middle of it. Started yelling and insulting me about some door frames not being painted yet. Her father had to take my son away outside to protect him. He isn't well. A bit sick and teething with his molars.
After she cooled down, she mentioned wanting to travel with me. I asked why and she said I'm still her husband. What a joke...cycle of abuse. Kick a man when you don't get what you want...
She tried to hug him last night in my bed (we often sleep in separate rooms) and he pushed her away a few times and said get away every time she tried to kiss him. Especially when she tried to tell me to shut up or raised her voice at me.
It is having an impact on my son. My parents are very supportive for me to live with them if I decide to leave. I'm just going for specialist DV counselling next week. I need time to sort things out. A support line reminded me to have a safe plan in place before attempting to leave.
I have tried to leave a few years ago before our son came into the picture and she went full on manic. Cutting my clothes, standing at the rear of my car threatening to smash my laptop into the rear window etc to get me to stay. Even running in and out of our bedroom claiming she has a boyfriend. I said she can bring him to me then whilst I pack. Why hide him. All lies btw. She even tried to get a rise out of me by claiming she had sex with men every time when she went back to her home country each year without me. Again it was all lies and she admitted she was saying it to try and stop me and hurt me.
I care so much for our son and don't want to keep putting up with her violence.
Alot of talk man! I'm x military, got custody of my son when he was 1. If he ever did anything wrong? I put him on my lap and told him I loved him and he upset me for what he did and hugged him. I'm older now and he helps me, we went fishinig today. He'll be 33 next Friday. My son has never disrespected me, nor did I disrespect him. He is my best friend!
All that talk u got is BS. Just love yer child, because they are an adult in the making
Yes I am going to follow your channel we have been separated with mum of my daughter 5months ago I couldn't let go and I was dying inside me I was feeling guilty for everything I have done bad I could not see any positive even if there were lots. But recently I am starting to coming out from the darkness I have been working hard to stay sober and have work but I didn't fail my Daughter gave me so much power and Yeahhh being single dad is amazing... Its easy Girls parties fun. Noo child work and self development yesssss
Good luck, brother. Be the best dad you can be!
really enjoyed this video. I think you've made some great points there mate, I intend to put them all and more into action! 👍
+Bradley Clark Do it!
I was in an awful marriage...I have been divorced 2 yrs and I'm extremely sad...depressed...lost....I cry when I don't have them...I can find anything that makes me happy...I'm broken inside
I know what you're feeling, Scott. Really. Staying strong for your kids is all you can do right now. It will get better, but it takes time..
Tough is a word. I've got my 2 daughters (6 and 5) while their mom has almost come to the end of her affair-relationship in a different country, now expressing how she misses her family. Tough? wouldn't i be foolish to accept her back....again...(yup).
I seem to struggle with understanding the difference between forgiveness and acceptance....especially with my deep desire to be accepted myself!
Thanks for your video Steve!
You're welcome, Joshua. Stay strong.
Someone in the comments below made the point that everyone should be doing this with their children regardless of relationship status. I agree I have my children full time one mum lives oversea and the other is an hour and a half away. The point I want to make is that being a parent is hard work and important work. I crave decent adult conversation which is hard to have with kids around. I am happy and try my hardest to do things right but you have to compromise completely to have a good relationship with your children, by that I mean you might have a later dinner time and you might give them a later bed time main thing is they get all your love and healthy food etc. you can’t be on top of every little thing all the time with four kids and work with little income. Stress is going to be ever present but you can just get on with life the best you can so don’t judge yourself to much and so on and so on. Let’s face it raising children well is hard no matter what. Attention and love are what is needed by any child.
Good points and well said, Gareth.
needed this hard as fuck tonight... just happened to stumble across it. thanks man! really mean it... thank you.
Good on you mate.👍. I might neeD your help for awhile.
I'm here...
Thanks for the info.im a single father of two 7-8 daughters.i really need to learn more about listening to them.thankyou.
You are welcome, brother.
thank you for this, im going to become a single father soon, and this really helped
+CPRHero Team Good, that's what I'm here for..
Hallo?.. How's it going being a single dad?
thank you for posting this.
You are welcome, brother.
you are such a good dad! I can bet that your daughters are going to be just fine as they grow up!!
That's my goal! Nothing better than being a dad!
I am a mh therapist and I love your perceptions regarding single father's reflection.
I appreciate that Maria.
Hi! all the things you say is true, i ll be checking everything in your web page! Congratulations for your channel and i wish all single dad´s success in this part of our lifes. Greetings from Mexico!
I appreciate that, Raymundo.
I’m the same way. You said it. I’m learning from this. Thank you
You bet, my friend.
Just the video I was looking for.
Excellent!
I’ve been in a relationship with the single dad have 2 kids 13 and 11 he’s house is kinda far from my house so i always travel to him for 2 hours since i still don’t have a car coz i still dont passed my road test. So every other weekend I’m with him and with the kids im close with the kids so the other weekend kids is with the mom. So my boyfriend is free no kids he never effort going to city with me but he has a time to go with he’s brother and gf to help some stuff. We’ve been almost 5 years he never proposed to me and he’s family really loves me also he’s not working sometimes i feel he just using me for money but sometimes i feel he loves me,
I've tried to change many things, our communication habits, how we go about finding solutions to disagreements, the activities we do, the approach I take with her, giving more affection, giving her space.. you name it!
Now the only change to be made is to part ways, sadly. The crap thing is that she's already talking about limiting my access! Bad times ahead.
+Bradley Clark If you've exhausted all your options and feel like you've given 100% and it still isn't working, then yes, it sounds like the right move to split.
It kills me to hear that about having limited access. Your best hope is to help her understand how important your role as father is. If she is reasonable (big if), then you may have a chance.
Yes that's my plan. She's just full of hatred towards me for no good reason. Her mother has also been instrumental in creating problems and further rifts between us.
We've not registered the lad yet either so I anticipate my surname being overlooked now (besides being previously agreed on) and I may not even make it on the birth certificate. I just know he will always be used as a bargaining chip and a weapon to hurt me!
Beyond livid!! It's me she'll hurt, sure but the lad just doesn't deserve any of it. He's bloody 5 days old bless him.
Heartbroken mate.
+Bradley Clark I think having an ex filled with anger and hatred is common. My divorce was pretty straightforward and we both agreed that it was time to split. No tears and not much emotion because we had just exhausted all those over the years. Yet, not she is very bitter and angry. I think it's par for the course and you just have to stay strong and remind yourself that there is nothing you can do to change her opinion of you now nor can you control her behavior. It's on you, bro..
thank you....it helped more than most will ever know
+Jonah Espinoza Wow, that's great to hear, man!
Love ya man. Great video.
Thanks dude!
Actually coming here for a book I'm writing. I hate writing inaccurate information, but I will never have a situation where I may end up a single father. (Big reason being I'm a woman) So I came for the sake of accuracy. Finding this super helpful!
Glad I could help! How's the book coming along?
thx for Sharing. Being a Single dad with a RUclips channel I was thinking about talking about my experiences on my channel too. Thx again for sharing. Subscribed to ur channel. look forward to more videos from you.
+Wilter's World What is your channel specifically about other than being a single dad?
We do hiking and other adventures. I also do emergency preparedness videos. I haven't actually brought up the single dad thing except I mention it on my channel description in the about section. Go check us out when u get the chance. :)
+Wilter's World Very cool, I sure will!
Single dad but u only have ur kids on a weekend lol try single dad work and kid every day and no time for anything else
Believe it or not some men would do anything to have that opportunity. When my ex left me I wasnt able to see my daughter as often as I'd like and seeing her grow without me hurts. Never felt anxiety until I had to start taking her back to her mother on Sunday nights
My house is so quiet now! I see the kids when I can but I work a lot so she has the ongoing stress of bringing up two kids by herself! She wanted the car? She didn't get the car! Now she's stressed and pissed!! lol! I'm off to the pub!
...my brief back story; my first baby is due any day now. a little boy. sadly he is coming into a horrible, negative and volatile relationship that my partner and I have. Cannot seem to communicate effectively with her, ultimately it's going to end soon after a tremendous amount of energy and effort to change things from me and none from her. I know that I'm not and can't be the man and dad I can be in this existence. I need to be a dad with a zest for life. it's a very very upsetting, challenging and difficult time for me.
+Bradley Clark What are you going to change?
+Steve Roy why women hate single dad's
+Michael X They don't. Just the deadbeats..
I just found out my ex is pregnant and it's mine. So you can imagine how crazy it is. I'm lucky that me and her get along so well bit it is still going to be really tough. Thanks for putting this video out so people like me can be hopeful and keep our chins up.
***** Wow, that's an interesting situation. Is there any chance of reconciliation?
Great vid,thanks
Thanks James, stay strong!
I wish you were the father of my baby, I'm 43 and my 50 year old boyfriend abounded me as soon my birth control failed. What a beautiful father your children have!!! God bless you !!
Lola Velmar so he abandoned you leaving you to be a single parent
I’ve been single parent for about 2 months now.. I’m 23 have a 2 year old son which is a double of me I’ve just watched this video and I’m starting to see things much clear being heart broken was something new to me.. she dropped it on the spot one day and said we are over! Like this guy said when he came home from work he’d spend time with his daughters and then just sit on the sofa a watch tv. I lost so much motivation in me when I was with my ex partner I felt trapped as well being a single dad was hard for me for the first few weeks now I look at it as it was the best experience my son is my main priority I know she’s letting me see him when I want and take him when I want but I know one day that will end because she’s heartless I just want to say for men it’s much harder because the first things mums do is use there kids as a weapon which in my eyes is wrong as fuck they act like we have no feelings or anything ... I’ve had issues after issue with my ex partner I felt like I was doing the right things as a boyfriend and as parent I paid rent I paid all the bills I put food on the table she had everything I just never expected her to turn her back on me like she has... I’m over that now and it’s time to focus on my son and be a role model
Sorry to hear it worked out the way it did but now you have an opportunity to be a rock start of a dad. Stay strong!
I wish you knew my story. I wish I had help. I am a single father. Fighting a war I'm loosing.
Jasper Sullivan Brooo! I swear I feel that shit
Thank you G
Awesome video! thanks
Thanks man
nice, i like how you're so candid too.
+Jay Nickolaus I appreciate that..
Hi, I have two kids 8yo girl & 2yo son. My ex-fiancé slit when my son was 14mths(2 months later my father passed away, lost job, lost everything), and so my daughter is forced to leave with her mom. We spend maybe an hour or so a day out of a months also few short phone calls but now faded to no communication. When we do see each other it's smiles and laughter then painful cries as she's yanked off of me..everyone on both sides of the family knows where she truly wants to be but can't really do much on my end as of now but she's now making that transition you spoke of where she doesn't need daddy the embarrassed dad teen phase so it's hard that when we left off it was princess & King daddy to nothing so it seems please any advise or opinion or ideas to get those years back or if I ever will? Normally I'm well prepared for handling all types of emotions but my little girl....jus the thought of her or sound of a random girls laughter breaks me down like a baby.. Thank you for your time!
+Stevo McKay Thanks for sharing your story, brother. Stay strong!
I know some people are bad partners but good parents......Sometimes relationships don't work because the couple isn't compatible, not necessarily because 1 or both people are bad people. Wouldn't a single dad make a good father? because you know he's going to be responsible and stay with the kids.
Not sure I understand where you're going with this comment.
My wife left me taking the kids citing domestic abuse just to get a council flat for free. The Social Services after interviewing me closed the case through lack of evidence (and the fact she owns a flat abroad) have advised her about having evidence and proof which she never had as it didn't happen. Now she wont let me see the kids as it was advice by the social worker (advisory only) but she thinks its the law? Now she can't come back to the house as they deemed it unsafe due to what was said (lies) and she took the car saying she needed it but I had to tell her she wasn't insured anymore so I got it back. She is living with a friend now and i'm pretty stress free.She pops over once a week so the kids can see me but we end up bickering. Also I haven't paid her any money as she wont let me see the kids on a regular basis so why should I pay for them? Iv'e spent enough on them for years! She earns enough anyway to survive and can't afford a Lawyer so I'm just going to wait it out.... See what happens. I also had to warn her is she leaves the country to go on holiday without my consent then that I believe is child abduction so no holiday for her this year!
Wow...sounds like a lot of drama. Stay strong and do the best you can.
I'm going to be a single father from the off very soon. Thanks for the info
Good luck to you, my friend. Stay strong.
Thankyou great video great advice
Thanks Mark, hope it resonated.
It’s so hard for me with 3 I watch these videos all night for motivation.im trying but it’s minimal help.dont know where to turn anymore
It's not an easy transition for many dads and I struggled for a long time. You'll get there, just stay strong mentally and physically.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but these supposed differences are things that a live-in married father should be doing anyway!
Ok, in what way is it better for the kids?
Hard to be a single dad
Definitely is. Do the best you can and stay strong!
powerful words.
Thank you.
Thanks.needed some advice.
You got it, Jose.
Hi mate i just split from my partner and my 18 montj old girl the pain from not seeing her and no more family time etc we fought everyday was terrible how long does it take till you were over it and was in a happy place what did you do im abit of a mess and need support bigtime will they still love you the same?
Do you best to show up every day for your kids and they will be just fine. Getting over a relationship takes time, often years, but you have to embrace the healing process not fight it. Be strong.
