Hi I'm new to all of this. I'm looking to chat especially with single fathers since I don't know any. I'm surrounded by single mothers. I'd love to know more single fathers. I'd like to know more about what it's like for you. Write. Hey single moms please write me too. I need sisterhood as much as possible. Hugs to you all!

Since the above message was posted almost a year ago, I have to ask: are you still here?

Im here now as well.

Hello everyone, I am not sure if this board is even used anymore. Too bad if it isn't it is a very good idea. I am a single dad who is looking for someone to chat with who understands my situation.
If there is anyone who still uses this board please respond to my post and let me know
Thanks
Kevin

Hello Kevin,

I'm a single mum but thought I'd respond. I look quite frequently at this board but it has been very quiet as of late. Don't know what has happened to everybody. Welcome and hope that you keep coming back. Maybe things will start to pick up again soon.

Bye for now,

Jennie

Hi allthis is the first ime I have loged on to this site and this is where i endid up as i am here you can guess my situation I have 2 girls and the main thing that i wanted to know is how to not be a single dad for any longer than is nesasary if you have any help drop me a line or 200

Well, I guess there are single dads who care about their children. I will try not to be so bitter, and give someone a chance. Maybe there is hope after all.

Hi - I am willing to chat with anyone! I've been a SINGLE dad for 1.5 years now. The single is capitalized because the kid's mom does not see them at all. I live 18 hours away from my family. After work, I have a 2 hour commute to get home to the kids so I have not developed any work friends. By the time I get home, feed the kids, and bathe them, it is bed time. I have no friends, and no one to rely on for help. I keep trying to improve our quality of life, but am struggling to do so.
Anyone have any suggestions for me?
CHeers,

Hey there onefishtwofishes...
My name is Christopher and I just started using this board today...I read your listing and I was where you are today..the only differences are it sounds like you have more than one child and two..I just moved back home to be nearer to family after moving away for a year and a half. It is hard...I wish you all the luck in the future..and if things get to be too much...you can always go back home and get the help that you need. If you would care to talk to me, please e-mail me.

Hi Christopher -
Sorry to hear things are so similar ! I hope you find luck in moving closer to family. If it wasn't for my job, I would have moved from here yesterday.
Good luck with everything.
Michael

Hey there Michael...
Nice to meet you...things are starting to hopefully look up around here. I have a job interview tommorow..and I am hoping that I get the job...if you get time please share with me your circumstances as to why you became a single father. As I said before, I am raising my 7 year old on my own. His mother is in prison. She is not active at all in his life. It was hard going, and it still is...but I think that it will get better as the time goes along. I also just found out that he is Bi-Polar as well. We can get through this together. If you need to talk again...please email me at graysendad@yahoo.com

hello, I am a single mom which can relate to the work and take care of the kids thing very well. I have been single with a 2 year old and a 14 year old for over a year now. Would love to chat with male or female in same situation.

Everytime I read one of these it breaks my heart. I too am a SINGLE father of 2. My family lives in another state so I am by myself and like you struggle to find balance in work, chores, and the kids. Is there anyway to move closer to work or maybe tele-commute a day or two a week? Depending on what you do, talk to your boss and see if they aren't willing to work something out. You'd be surprised at how supportive most companies can be if you give them the opportunity. I wish I could offer some real assistance, but know that there are others out there like yourself, who want to support you and call you a friend!
