Posted: 10/28/2009 2:31:31 AM | I became a single dad at 18yrs old. Now I am 31. I've been raising my 13yr old daughter since she was a baby. I went through an unfortunate situation with my daughters mom. After she gave birth, she decided not to take on the responsibility of being a mother. She was 18 as well, but never grew up. When the situation went to the courts, custody was taken away from her. My daughter was in danger of being put in a foster home. I would NOT let that happen! I went to court and was awarded full custody. I was only 18, but I manned up even though I knew life was gonna change dramatically. I still finished school, went to college, and secured a decent place to live and raise her. I do not feel like I've been cheated or tied down making the decisions I have. It was not easy, in fact it's only gonna get harder as she is going through her teen years.. Shes starting to get into boys, and that is enough to drive me crazy!! LOL. Anyway, despite everything I would not change anything for the world!! My daughter is my best friend and she helped make the strong and independent person i am. As far as dating goes, I know once I break the ice and start talking to someone, my daughter wont be an issue. And if it is, then obviously the woman is not for me. I would never look for my girlfriend to replace her mother. But I come in a two person package. But I come in a two person package. We single dads are making a positive difference in our children lives. God bless all of us dads and moms that are sacrificing little for something grand  | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 4:55:02 AM | Thank you for your honesty. Hopefully other men will read your profile and be inspired. I have been raising my 4 children for almost 10 years now. 2 are now through college and 2 more to go! As for the girls/guys thing, my word for the day (for my teens) is Overcommunicate! More is better. I have to repeat that 2x daily to them!
Blessings,

Posted: 10/28/2009 11:25:58 PM | | I have to say being a sigle mom is hrd but i ouldnt image what its like to be a single father.I have to give props for those few good men left. i may only be 18 but i have son that is just a month old and everyday I hate his "father" even more for leaving us for someone else and leaving me to take cae of my son alone. At least your not running from your responsibilities and you made a commitment to your child and being a father just remember it takes two people to make a baby but a real man to be a father and a real woman to be a mother. | |

Posted: 11/19/2009 10:49:41 AM | Man no joke, i can't believe how many fellow single dad's there are on here. I don't think i know anyone else personally that is a "true" single dad. I've been raising my son on my own since shortly after he was born and his mom is completely absent from his life. It's rough work but absolutely necessary in a circumstance such as mine.
