Beautiful article, thank you! You are lucky to have the father you do. No matter the make-up of the household, two parents are better than one. Being a single parent is damn hard. And, alone, it’s impossible to be all that you need to be for your children. A single perspective, and a singular effort, is never enough. We need mothers and fathers, mothers and mothers, fathers and fathers, grandparents, elders, aunts, uncles and cousins. It’s important to have many people in the upbringing of a child, a generation.

I was very lucky. Hopefully, we can begin to embrace community to the point where we turn the whole thing around.
