Single parents and absent father

[Honeybu]

Single parent here and absent father, nothing from him since we divorce 6 years ago. I’m doing good from the outside good job, house, happy kid lack nothing apart from a dad. But just sometimes I feel overwhelmed and think how can I do this for the next 10years. Please share your stories. I have manage for 6 years and still going. But emotionally I’m not 💯 feel happy, sad, tired

Been divorced 16 yrs, last spoke to ex about 7 yrs ago. My 2 adult dd's have not seen him for 7 yrs but do txt and speak now and then. They don't seem too bothered that they not seen him in years.

Divorced 13 years ago when DD was 2, her dad isn't absent but incredibly unreliable in spending time with DD due to being a raging alcoholic and has zero input financially. It's hard and there are downsides but there are so many benefits to parenting alone. We have such a close relationship 💞

🤗 to @MissFizzyPop and @vodkaredbullgirl we doing good. @vodkaredbullgirl Has anything change with father for the last 7years

My kids dad has always been absent I feel I don’t want him coming back to their life as he’s unreliable and that would cause more pain for kids and me xx

Single parent to my 15 month old DD. He’s not on the birth certificate, she’s never met him and hopefully will never have to. Complete surprise falling pregnant, he was an alcoholic and emotionally abusive and it was a toxic relationship. Finally worked up the courage to cut contact when I was around 4 months pregnant. There’s so much to the story and he made life hell for a long time before and during my pregnancy and the police were fuck all help.
But what matters is my darling girl, she’s the best thing that ever happened to me. I never knew this much love was possible before her. She truly is my whole world, every day she makes me smile and laugh and so proud to be her mum. It isn’t without its challenges sometimes but being a single parent has been and continues to be the happiest time of my life x
