For years I was on Reddit and the last few years as a new dad I really liked daddit, it was a very nice community of dads that would share advice and help each other. It’s the only part of Reddit I miss and never found a substitute for.

So I hope dadvice can grow into a community like that.

Please share your stories, dad jokes, ask for help, etc.

    That’s a really shitty situation, good that you made the choice for yourself and your kids!

    Do you have a decent support network around, like friends and family? That can make a huge difference.

    Good luck! If you ever need some help or just want to talk send me a message.

      Thanks so much. Yeah, it was a hard decision when i realized I had to leave, but it was either that or end up committing suicide because of depression that i wasn’t being treated at the time. I’m in a much better place, mentally, now, and I’m able to say that I will always be there for my kids whenever they need me.

      Unfortunately, I live far away from my folks. I’m in europe, they’re back in the states. Once the divorce is done, i should be able to actually visit them more often, and hopefully my kids will grow up with a more or less normal relationship with their grandparents back stateside.
