10+ Single Dads Share the Raw Truth Of Being the Only Parent

Stories about single dads have a special kind of charm. Some will have you laughing out loud, while others hit you in the heart. Raising a child alone is no easy task — these dads take on everything from daily routines to emotional talks without a partner to lean on. Their love and dedication are nothing short of inspiring.

Story 1

Once, while we were flying, my daughter leaned over and whispered, “Dad, I think I just got my period.” I gave her the emergency pad I always keep with me, and she hurried to the restroom. A few minutes later, the flight attendant came by and said, “Sir, your daughter asked if you have a real pad. She said you gave her a liner.”

I never realized how much I didn’t know until I became a single dad. Once, I turned bright red when I didn’t bring the “right” item for my daughter — I didn’t even know there was a difference! A kind woman stepped in, and my daughter just smiled, “Next time, bring both.” I always do now.

Teaching my kids basic things, like how to wipe properly or do their hair, was humbling. I called my mom, YouTube’d everything, even asked friends. It still usually looks like she’s been through a windstorm — but I try.

My best friend’s wife left without a word. Ten years later, no contact, just lawyers. He says the hardest part wasn’t parenting alone, it was facing judgment — even from his own family.

People assume I don’t understand parenting struggles because I’m not a mom. At school meetings, teachers ignore me. I feel invisible.
