Hello. My name is Adam and I just came across this page and have read some of the posts on here. I have to say for the longest time, I thought I was alone on this single dad endeavor. Most single dads know my struggle so I will begin by saying that I love my little boys more than I can explain. I started off as a young man with a girlfriend and went on eventually to have a child with this woman. Her and I later decided to get married, only to have another little boy. I was raised by nothing but women so having two boys was more of a blessing than you know. My marriage eventually crumbled and as a result, both of my nice cars were reposessed, my house went into foreclosure, and all of my other debt(personal loans, utilities, etc.) built up against me and damaged my credit so profoundly that I could not get a car or an apartment anywhere. Luckily, by the grace of God, I was able to get accepted into a low income apt. complex in an area where crime, violence, and drugs are way more existent than what I would care for my boys to be around. At this point, I had been a single dad for about 7 years and I was just turning 28 years old. Since that very profound turning point in my life I have tried to go to college and get whatever grant money from school that I could get so my boys and I could survive while recieving no help from their mother but, no matter what I recieved, it was never enough. I have tried to work but could not find a job that was condusive to my single parent lifestyle due to no childcare. I take being a father very seriously because I am raising the future men of this country. I am no more of a perfect father than any other man but my intentions for them are. I give credit to any man that would break from the stereotype that has plagued us for centuries because of other non-existent fathers like my own. I am currently searching for a way to clean my credit and clear my debt so that I can create a prosperous future for my little boys that they may become the future example for other men. My boys are my life and for my life I will give what it takes to see them smile and one day see them hold their head high for the father they have. Whomever you are, thank you for taking the time to read the brief story of my struggle. Don't forget, "We are the men of the world that set the example for all other men".
