Posted: 3/28/2005 8:04:29 PM | | Just had to jump in on this one. I moved my family to Alabama 5 years ago. Had a wife and two adopted kids, a girl 12 and a boy 9. My now ex-wife left with both the kids and took up with a man she'd met earlier. Don't ask it's just a mess. Anyway, I get a call a couple of weeks after she left and it's my in-laws. Seems she dropped the kids at their house and my 9 year old tried to run away Said "If I have to by god walk back to alabama I'm going to live with my dad". Well, I had him out of there in a day and back on our way home. How can I not be a good dad to someone like that. It's been just him and me since then and it was rough. I just thanked god everynight that i hadn't screwed up too bad that day. Son's 14 now and people are always telling me how happy he seems and what a joy he is to be around. They talk like that here. I just smile; what can I say. Well, to all of the single parents out there; keep smiling kids are about the best thing that can happen to you. | |

Posted: 3/28/2005 8:24:08 PM | | Not a full-time single dad, although I would like to be. I won't get into all the details, but I am really looking forward to seeing my son (5) for the first time in over 4 years this summer.(FTR...no, I'm not a deadbeat or anything like that...i fought long and hard to get visitation for a child that was litteraly kidnapped from me) What I don't understand though (and this might have been in an earlier post)...I would look on personals like yahoo, and see 3/4s of the single females in my age range (23-29) who would like to have children, would accept divorcees, but no kids. I dunno, maybe Florida is just funny like that. | |

Posted: 3/28/2005 9:17:25 PM | Hey, single father of the coolest 2 1/2 year old in the world (bias opinion). I have been on my own for a little over a year now and have found that entering into the dating pool is a little tricky with a kid. 5 outa 6 women have said no thanks after I told them I had a kid. The other said she didnt want a religious guy, go figure. So the question is, are there girls out there that actualy want a guy with a kid or should I give up now?
Go Edmonton, AB Canada | |

Posted: 4/11/2005 2:44:49 PM | Sam,
Been watching your plight with some interest. Congratulations!!!
It will take some time to adjust, but you will find it completely worth it!!!
My only advice is to set up a daily/weekly routine with her and stick to it for a while. She is going to want some stability in her life. Dating will come once you have an established routine.
Good Luck!

Posted: 4/11/2005 2:55:14 PM | Might even want to consider a little bit of Theropy, even if she seems she doesn't need it...
Just someone for her to talk to with someone who knows what questions to ask and how to ask them... | |

Posted: 4/11/2005 9:26:27 PM | Guess I'm the full time single dad that has the oldest kid. Or rather had, she just recently turned eighteen and bolted.
Be prepared single dads.....when your child leaves and there is nobody to back your emotions once they've left.....it is MORE gutwrenching than than a wife of many years leaving. At that point you have made them your world....and then the world suddenly shatters leaving you drifting in space...ALONE.
I just thought it should be known. | |
