Five years as a single dad, just got remarried
I was a stay at home dad for five years after my divorce. Learned to braid hair, pack school lunches like a pro, and watch way too many Disney movies. Just married an amazing woman who already has two kids of her own. Life is completely different now. House is louder, messier, more chaotic. I don't have the quiet nights I used to cherish but I honestly don't miss them. Gained a partner, a bigger family, and weird double household rhythm. Honestly never thought I'd be happy like this again after things fell apart.
Respect to you for stepping up those five years. That's the kind of foundation that matters. Hope the remarriage brings some good vibes to your whole crew.
