It’s not easy being a single dad. It’s stressful, tiresome, confusing, and often frustrating. Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. Single parents have unique experiences, problems, and worries that require a specialized support network. While no two single dads are in an identical situation, they have many things in common. One of the most important is the love they have for their children, which helps them get through even the most difficult times.
The Struggles of Being a Single Parent
The challenges single dads face can seem impossible to overcome. Some days are better than others; sometimes, things go your way, while others only seem to go wrong. Some of the many struggles of being a single dad include:
Financial stress
Difficulty maintaining a healthy work-life balance
Childcare difficulties
Custody and visitation issues
Conflict between parents
Increased demands on time and energy
Limited time to spend with your child
Feelings of guilt
Exhaustion and illness
The lack of time for a social life
Difficulty making big decisions without a partner
No matter how the dice land, you won’t have to carry your burdens alone when you’re part of a single fathers support group like Embrace Legacy. If you’re a single father, help can come in the form of a single fathers support group.

Why I Created Embrace Legacy
My dad was a pastor. He cheated on my mom. She committed suicide. He died of cancer. This is the reality of my life. Contained in those four sentences are thousands of hours of pain, fear, and other emotions that are difficult to share.
Statistics say I should be a cheater, in jail, strung out, an absentee father, or an abuser, like too many other kids who come from situations like mine. But the overwhelming grace of God intervened in a way that’s nothing short of divine. Because of this grace, it’s essential to me that other men find the same support I did. I wouldn’t be here today without it.
No matter your past or the decisions you’ve made, your story isn’t finished being written. You have the power, with God’s help, to write a brand new ending, an ending that creates the most important impact you’ll have in this world…Legacy.
