Struggling single dad

[Keano77]

Is there any forums for men who are bringing up kids alone, I can't find anything, I'm recently in this situation indeed to get it right for them but I'm overwhelmed I have no family left alive so I'm really on my own, I can't get it wrong it's not an option...?

https://www.gingerbread.org.uk/

is the charity for all single parents, not just women. I would start there

You should post on here, most people are very helpful and supportive, and just dismiss the odd troll as with any forum. Lots of supportive parenting advice.
How old are your DCs? How have you found yourself in your situation?

This post here most of us would only be too willing to help and guide you x

I agree- I'd be happy to try and help too.

Go ahead and post your problem here @Keano77. It will be an almost entirely female response but that can be useful for you too

Here goes...in September 2016 my children's mother an myself split she accused me of domestic violence repeatedly through our 9 Yr relationship, she left the house I had rented for us and took my 2 kids, she then started another relationship(I believe well before she left) straight away she began dropping the children to me in her new partners car to my doorstep which really upset me, to which I sent a text to warn her to stop bringing him to my door or else, I was then arrested and charged with malicious communications which is under domestic violence, anyway after 2 years of not being able to see my children I spent 8k on solicitors and got a court order for weekends and some holidays, then in January just gone my kids came for the weekend and on the Saturday I received a message through my son that she had some mental health issues and they couldn't go back to her while she received treatment, they now live with me full time, I obviously had to give up working full time and apply for benefits, I only have just started receiving any child benefit as after a big battle I proved they have been living with me and not their mom, my daughter is 9 yrs old and has got really emotional due to her mom not seeing her at all since then, my son seems to have not been affected at all he says he doesn't care if he sees her at all now, which in its own way worries me, I am organising through early help some support for my daughter to try and limit the damage this has been doing to her, touch wood everything seems to be getting better I've even had a very nice lady from the csa helping me as I was still being charged money from the csa!!I think that about sums up my story
