7 Complex Issues That Single Dads Still Sometimes Struggle With Even In Today's World.
Ask a random group of people why a father has primary custody. Then, ask them why the mother has primary custody. The answers will be disturbing. If she gives up custody to pursue her career, she has abandoned her child. If she struggles on an emotional level to parent her children, she is a bad person. Postpartum depression or other circumstances be damned. Clearly, she must be lazy, addicted, and uncaring.
Perhaps the most painful thing about this is the assumption that the single dad resents or dislikes the mother of his children. In truth, even when there is resentment or anger, it still pains a father to hear the other parent being smeared. Side note, if you are a father who does take pleasure in the character assassination of the other parent, it’s time to step back and reevaluate things.
