being a single dad
I woke this morning, kinda depressed looking around the house and picking up the toys my daughter left laying around the night before. I for so long didnt realize that single mothers have it so hard until it was thrust upon me when my ex decided to split and leave her behind.
After she left it was hard, i didnt know what to do with a little girl she was 6 months old and so beautiful, thank God i had a family support system at the time that helped more than i can ever thank them.
Funny thing is she left because it was to much to handle, i admit kids are hard to raise, now i know what i put my parents through, but they had each other to lean on, but these days Im alone.
What i have found though is that its hard to even get a date, when you cannot get a babysitter, because you decided to start fresh in another state, not only did i move all the way down to florida i left all my friends behind.
That was three years ago at the time when my daughter was two, i thought that the change would be good.
You know what though, nothing beats having friends that you grew up with around, it seems that everyone i meet here is pretty freak'n fake and carry a knife just so they can be prepared to stab you in the back.
Today is my daughter is 5 years old and demands so much from me, it makes things hard, i would like to find someone that would like to spend time with me, but thats a hard thing to do when you dont get out much and then your confidence level is low as is.
So i just want people toknow that being a single parent is hard and Im sorry to all the mothers out there for actually thinking that is was easy.
thinking that child support was something stupid that women wanted so they can screw the guy over, I can use some kinda help from her mother, but she thinks that she shouldnt have to pay and expects me to drop everything when she wants to walk into my daughters life for a couple of days out of the year.
Shes never given me a penny for nothing, wait a minute yes she did, a twenty dollar gift card from walmart on her third birthday, i was supposed to buy everything she needed with that, so with that i thank her, for helping me start a college fund with that money and getting her all the clothes she ever needed,ohyeah all the food, well you know what i mean.
So i work at a shitty place that lets me leave when i need to so i can get my daughter out of school, or when she doesnt have someone to watch my boss lets me bring her, cannot do all the time, so when its to busy i lose a days pay and lets me go home, but at least he doesnt hold it against me.
Ill make it work, but it just seems that parents made to the kids together so dont you think that they should raise them together, well thats what i thought.
