My son died 9/1/2018. My wife is divorcing me. I have 3 living boys. I need somewhere to talk about and document my experience. Hopefully others will empathize.

Most things people post about spouses and what they’ve done to hurt them resonate with me. Not because they are like my ex but because I recognize the behaviour in myself. Twitter makes me more introspective than I thought it would. #YouLiveYouLearn #Divorce #Divorced #SingleDad

I may have overcompensated as a #singledad trying to do too much for my kids. I need to teach self-reliance. This eve, my 10 asked me to ask Alexa something for him. 😳 #singledads #singledadlife #singeparents #singleparent #singleparentlife

@Angela87399 Oh, I noticed. 😉 not moved on from the wine yet I can see. 🤣🤣

[TheDivorcedDad2020 @TDad2020]

Well, the first time the kids and I have decorated a tree together including putting up the lights. Not the best but not the worst. Merry holidays!!!!

[TheDivorcedDad2020 @TDad2020]

@bagofnothing I hate to be fatalistic, but so far I am not able to make it feel regular. For me sure - but sadly I don’t make it fun and holiday feeling for the kids. But trying!

[TheDivorcedDad2020 @TDad2020]

Well that went from “not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel” to “all done” in a hurry. I am legally divorced.

@AllieAllie1234 It’s been a year since filing. 🥴

[TheDivorcedDad2020 @TDad2020]

Well @AllieAllie1234 - I have a signed property separation agreement. At least that’s something.

[TheDivorcedDad2020 @TDad2020]

@ResilientMama_ Thank you

@roastmalone_ There are other restaurants with equally confusing menus!!!

@BlessingsfromB @AllieAllie1234 @betrayedAug3118 @PhoenixElissa @TrueLov23876219 @sowingseason2 This is always the hardest thing to keep in the front of my mind - what is best for STBX helps my kids. I know it to be true intellectually - but don’t truly feel it emotionally. #INeedToBeBetter

@surpriseme_51 @pqben42 Yay

@EmmaJaneStanle2 @DivorcedDad101 @stilllearning2b It produced results. Just wish it was baseball or golf or something!! 🤣

[TheDivorcedDad2020 @TDad2020]

@DivorcedDad101 @EmmaJaneStanle2 @stilllearning2b I got beaten out of bed at 8 years old with a bamboo sword every morning I did not have school for workouts. Starting at 12 we would play a game where we each choke each other until someone passed out. I never won. That is the old school sensei way!!!

@difficultpatty Let us know if there is somewhere to donate!!

[TheDivorcedDad2020 @TDad2020]

@MerielMyers I have been most annoyed by myself!!!

[TheDivorcedDad2020 @TDad2020]

@DivorcedDad101 Yeah, communication is not our strong suit. For sure, based on my bad husbanding, any time we try to talk - it is seen as a battle. Lots of relationship baggage here. But regardless, I should do the productive thing vs avoiding it!

Reason I’m separated #37 - after complaining on tweeter about doing food prep for kids when teaching school at STBX house, we did 4’s bday at my house tonight. As Im cooking, STBX fixed my ice maker. I complain about helping. She just helps cause she wants to. #IDontDeserveLove
