A year ago my wife left me and my girls. I finally got the finalized divorce papers in the mail today! That means I officially have custody of my two tiny monsters! I’ve also lost over 70lbs in the last year, working to get healthy and watch these two grow up. Haven’t been this happy in forever.

From one dad to another, well done sir! Long days but short years, worth every second!

You look familiar! Btw I am not sure if you or your daughter know the ILY sign, but she signed "I Love You" pretty well!

Congratulations on the divorce. My mother left my father and he got full custody of me and my sister. This decision itself was one of the best ones he had ever made in life for us.

Hey, single dad here under the same circumstances. My biggest worry was that my daughter was going to feel rejected by her mother. I had to be both mother and father and had to deal with the prejudices of people who weren't comfortable with that situation. I have had to have the period talks and the sex talks and be the only male mom at the ballet recitals but in the end it was all worth it. My daughter has turned out to be an exceptional human being and talks to me about every single thing. it makes me cry with happiness every time I think about how things turned out in the long run.

Stay strong and Keep On Keepin On.
