Gone are the days and the myth that only a mother can raise children and a thriving family because the numbers of single fathers managing the game alone have been steadily on the rise. I know two men, one by choice and one a divorcee, who are single fathers and raising their children wonderfully. There are many more that others know personally or have information about. To me, it is not surprising that single fathers are on the rise, but it is more satisfactory that more are coming out to managing households alone.
