My Therapy Journey

It was long overdue: I have begun cognitive behavioral therapy. My friends and family’s response to the news has been both congratulatory and “Finally! It’s about time!” followed with an inquiry about what I’ve learned so far.

Seven Years of Single Dadventures

August 29, 2019: Today marked seven years since Single Dadventure(s) went live. Shortly after I regained custody of my daughter, Cydney, I came up with this idea to start two blogs: one as my love letter to all of my friends and family who kept mine in prayer through tragedy and another about my love […]

“Why” Are Fathers Receiving Praise For Doing Their Job?

I was perusing through one of the sites I write for yesterday. While looking for the dates to add to my invoice, I came across a headline and felt inclined to read. The author was inquiring whether or not fathers should receive praise for doing the basics as a parent. I thought it was […]

To My Non-Parents Out There: Your’re Not Really Busy…

I have a friend who is incredibly busy. They have as we colloquially say “More jobs than a Jamaican” and keep it moving. They just got a promotion. I told them “Congratulations! You’re almost as busy as a parent.” They’re response was “I’ve already been as busy as a parent.” I almost laughed uncontrollably. A […]
