Being a single dad isn't fun. I don't recommend it to anybody. All I can do is to try to make better choices as I go along, and, in fits and starts, I'm doing it. I got where I am by choosing to be selfish, and by needing to have power and control. If my choices sounded familiar to you, I ask you to consider the consequences those choices brought to me and my family.
Small choices can bring consequences that seem all out of proportion to the choices themselves.
Like becoming a single, part-time dad. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. This, talk was focused on single fathers who became single through divorce. Single fathers who became single through the death of their wives are in a notably different situation, and I in no way intend for these comments to be taken as criticism of them in any way. Being widowed is only in the most bizarre circumstances a matter of choice, where divorce is always a matter of choice, and that brings a huge difference in the situations.
