This is the first post in a second blog that I'm starting about the life of a single father.
My motivation behind creating a blog surrounding single fatherhood is due to the fact that, well, I'm a single father, as of very recently...beginning of July recently.
A little background.
I was married and at this point am only separated from my wife. Nearly reached 4 years.
Why am I single?
The wife cheated on me. We spent a year trying to work it out after wards but in the end I wasn't able to build up the trust that I had in her before and so we decided to put the marriage to rest.
Am I bitter about what she did?
Not anymore. I was at first but over the course of the year we tried to work it all out I lost the anger and resentment that I had towards her, I just didn't feel I was able to trust her anymore. We still talk and are on a close friend basis, at this point I don't want anything further from her.
How do I feel about my current situation?
At first I was a little scared, at the same time I was also a little excited. Scared about how I was going to do everything that my little guy needed done for him. Excited about not having a mountain of stress and crap in my life that I felt was slowing me down to the Nth degree. There is still some fear there. Still a little concerned that I am going to make ends meet and provide what I want and what my son needs to be able to live a productive life and have a good childhood.
I this this is a good spot to stop for now. I don't want to go too in depth right off the start and scare away any potential readers. There is still stuff I want to cover from the few weeks leading up to my physical separation from my wife as well as the apartment hunting, packing, moving, getting setup and various other aspects and areas of what I am doing, dealing with and going through.
I actually wrote a mission statement for this entire idea last night that I may at some point get posted up here. For now I leave it as is.
Peace,
