The Life Changing Beginning

Well, let me start out by thanking whoever is reading this. My point of view may not be the same as most, but it is what makes me who I am.  Some of you might be asking yourselves, who is this guy and why is he writing this blog? The answer is simple, I got tired of the parental point of view being from a woman's point of view, now I am very aware that in most cases women are on the front lines of parenting.However there are single fathers out there in the world, and even if they are not single, father's in general have roles to play some more than others.

We all hear about dead beat fathers, that result in so many women raising children on their own. We hear the horror stories of women going to court for child support, and the men being angry about it. What we do not  hear about are the fathers that do the opposite, the ones that are there to raise their children even if they are no longer with the woman. Well, I am that father that did not run from responsibility.

In order for future posts to make sense, and to help you understand my sense of humor, I should explain the story.  My life changed about 8 years ago, I was living what most men would consider to be the life. Dating regularly at times more than one woman, no real responsibilities other than myself, the life of a bachelor I guess. Somewhere on this path, I found out I was going to be a father. I decided to do what I thought was the right thing, I got married. To say the least that was the biggest mistake of my life, my child was not the mistake, but getting married sure was. My wife at the time, had her own views once divorce was on the table, I will save those for a future post called "Crazy Things The Ex Said".


It was over, I made that decision for the sake of my child and myself. A home where there are none stop arguments, is no place for a newborn. At this point I will make a long story short, I took "THE EX" to court for custody, that was a process on it's own. Any good family lawyer will tell men the system is sexist, and as true as that may be, my child lives with me and "THE EX" has scheduled visitation. As parent's, your children should come before everything, and anyone, "THE EX" and I did not see eye to eye there.

While going through this process, I met the love of my life ( who is SOOO gonna be in more of the mood tonight after reading this.). I digress, she was and still is lovely, at the time she had a 2 year old child of her own. Years later we have a child together, so here I am 3 kids, 2dogs, a wife, and "THE EX".
