Good for all of you that have been through this. I became a single Dad but with 50% custody when my kids were 14 and 16. I've had it relatively easy. My ex is crazy but still a good mom and person. For those truly doing this on your own it is a tough but fulfilling road. Your child will always be in your life. I've had girlfriends come and go. One I thought I'd marry until she made it clear she would always have big opinions about how I related to and parented my children. She was shown the door quickly. She didn't figure out what I thought was clear and have made clear to others in my life. My kids will come first, always.
