The above is the beginning of an article in the newest edition of “K” Magazine titled “Where Did He Go?”

Great article but why are most information directed at Dad’s leaving. Mom’s are leaving in very large numbers!
Michael you are right in that more moms are leaving than ever before. However, the majority of kids still live with single moms. I usually try to intersperse an article with dad/mom but for this article it didn’t work. How about next week I post a follow up to this with a dad story? Stay tuned.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Linda,
I disagree a lot kids are living with the Dad’s and that number has increase drastically. Dad’s do not get or have the support.
I am agreeing with you. According to the US census in 2011 and reported by the Pew Research Center this summer some 2.6 million children live in a single dad headed household. And you are correct that there isn’t much support for single dads.
Linda,
Sorry if I sounded mad but we are grandparents of a single parent dad with the children.
All is good. I understand grandparent issues. I would like to suggest your son look into Single and Parenting program. You can find a group near you at http://www.Singleandparenting.org
Just put your son’s zip code in the search box.
It is a 13-week video based program with lots if discussion and helpful tools to help dads and moms parent alone.
