They also need “Mommy, who’s Daddy” for all the kids who have no idea who their father is because mommy has no idea who their father is. I know two kids who are being raised by their aunt. Their birth mother has no clue who the fathers are because she is a druggie. The poor kids do have some issues but are getting better. We act as surrogate grandparents so at least they have my husband as a positive male role model.
Sigh. I know how he feels being a single father of three. I needed help back then, but it was all about the single mother and while some of it reflected the reality of being a single father, it never really discussed how I was feeling or give me tools I could use. I had to wing it.
Looking back, I did a fine job (they are in their 30s now). They are more successful financially than I am and followed their dreams better than I did my own.
But back in 1993, you never saw a more confused and conflicted 23 year old man.

Sometimes what you find in a library is a little too daunting!
