I Love My Child

I am a single dad, ya what of it? I stepped up and took care of what is most precious in the universe to me. I LOVE how people automatically lose interest when this topic comes up, sorry bout ya luck I'm a dad, that's not changing, my daughter is my everything, dont like it? BYE FELICIA!.

P.s- the stigma that single dads are bad parents is some bullshit. Now I am not saying that ALL dads are good. Nor am I saying that everyone is saying bad things, but the amount of people I have heard. Seen and know who believe this are ignorant. To all my single dads who give their whole heart and everything to their child(ren) respect!

I was also a single dad for around 7 or 8 years after my divorce from my first wife. It was the kids were little and I wouldn't traded it for anything. Their mother was not around and barely communicated with them. Then I met my current wife.
I always took the high road and never said anything bad about their mother.
Collecting child support from her was a joke, since the courts weren't much help. I even got her summoned to court when she owed me over $20,000 and all she had to do is promise to start paying. If she would have been a guy she would have been thrown in jail. Instead she went back home which was 1/2 way across the country.
I also know a couple of other single dads and they did everything they could for their kids.
Just remember there are dead beat moms, not just dead beat dads.
