Seventh Issue: Sometimes You Feel Lost When Your Kids Aren’t With You

As stressful as it is to have your kids full time without a partner to have your back, it can suck even worse when they are away. Even if you trust the other parent completely, the thought that you aren’t there can be agonizing. You wonder: What am I missing? What if they get hurt? What if they get sick and they want me?

There’s no easy solution to this, but if you can, try to communicate with the other parent as positively as you can. In some cases, this might mean holding your tongue and putting a lot of resentments aside. It also means being as open and forthcoming with them as you want them to be with you.

Single parenting is challenging, rewarding, and frustrating. The world is not 100 percent ready for the single dad, but progress is being made every day.
