Being a single dad to twins hasn’t been easy, especially when life keeps throwing curveballs. But nothing prepared me for what I found hidden inside a secondhand washing machine I bought out of desperation.
I’m 34, a single dad to three-year-old twins, Bella and Lily. Their mom walked out on us when they were just a few months old. Ever since then, I’ve been doing all I can to care for them. But what I didn’t anticipate was that a stranger would be the one who’d change our lives forever.
When my daughters’ mother left, she said she wasn’t “cut out for diapers and midnight feedings.” Of course, I begged her to stay. I said we could figure it out together, but she didn’t look back. She was so done that she didn’t even bother helping with child support.
