I find it very challenging and stressful to keep a relationship going especially because the relationship itself requires some work. Also, I just feel so much stress from them and I know it affects how I act with a partner. I do not receive any income from my ex-husband and he doesn't even speak to us anymore. I am not sure where he even is. I find the demands of working full-time on top of being with the kids awful. I would much rather be at work (as horrible as that seems) but when I am home, they seem to only test the limits with me and it's really horrible. I know my health is being affected by it and I am only 31. I just wish I could find a way to relieve the stress and cope better without medication. I am a single mom with two boys.

Six years now. Fulltime with no help from mom or any family. Daughter 8, son 11 and son 18. Anyone who raises kids alone knows what it is like. I am a re-made man with true substance now. Anxious to learn and grow each day? Yea, I am. I am a single dad. Six years now. Fulltime with no help from mom or any family. Daughter 8, son 11 and son 18.

If I did, I definitely would have wished them a Happy V-day. As well as a happy "to"-day, and every other day of the year. At least I can wish that to the blogging single moms I've met online. You guys are great. I only know a couple of single moms, and I wish I knew where all the other single moms hang out. If I did, I definitely would have wished them a Happy V-day.

Oh, I'm sure there is some woman out there that will appreciate me as a man and a father. I expect she'll show up one day in a puff of purple smoke and sparkles and start immediately swooning all over me. ;-b Hey, thanks for the welcome.

Believe me, I've heard this for almost 8 years now in the grocery store, as I've gone through the aisles: Stranger: "Oh, she must look just like her dad!" Me: "He's not in the picture." Stranger, blood draining.... "Oh, I'm sorry." Me: "There's no reason to be sorry." But it will change. Please have hope. Really, there are women out there who will see you as YOU: a dad and a man. Seriously. Dan, Thanks and welcome.

Believe me, I’ve heard this for almost 8 years now in the grocery store, as I’ve gone through the aisles:

But it will change. Please have hope.

Really, there are women out there who will see you as YOU: a dad and a man. Seriously.

Dating is impossible...most women that see me out in public with my daughter automatically assume I'm married. I've been told many many times by women while grocery shopping with my daughter "It's so nice to see a husband helping out" or "giving your wife a break today?". If I'm out by myself and I actually catch the attention of a woman...the minute she finds out I'm a single dad you can see the color immediately drain from her face followed by a "wow...I uh....I have to go, I...um...think I left my oven on". It's like single dads are some sort of great mythical creature that is great to look at and admire...but date one? No way man. I’m a single dad with full custody of my 4 year old girl.

The mother is horrible and my heart breaks for his daughter (who is 7 years old now). It is cool hanging out with him and hearing his stories about birthday parties, doing her hair and bathroom privacy. We tried to date but he was so nervous that he kept standing me up. The third time I was pretty rude to him and it's kind of been like an "elephant in the room" situation since when we're around each other. He's all about punk rock, Gwar and Adult Swim (he's an IT guy). It wouldn't have worked...lol. But, the single dad aspect was H. O. T, HOT! I have a friend who is a single dad full-time.

They have split custody...but his ex has his son most of the time. Can't believe she let him slip away...because - get this - he worked too much. Crazy. I would have killed for a husband who worked TOO much. I also dated a single dad a while back...he also had shared custody. I just have never met one like Trey who has full custody. But yes, a single dad would be a very promising catch. Just about every online dating service allows you to filter for single dads only. Pretty cool!
