This is a true story about the love of a single dad and how the current economic crisis has affected just one family in America. There are many families out there facing similar problems.

Some of those are also struggling with more pressing issues than this family. And some others have just given up and turned to welfare to sustain them. Some have turned to crime. Some are still trying to make it without depending on the Government, they still believe that America became great because we, as a Nation, worked to achieve greatness. Sam (all names have been changed), believes in his heart that he should be the master of his destiny. He believes that he should be working and providing for himself and his family, Since he was in his teens, Sam had always had a job. Now, for the past year, he has been looking for a way to support his family. Sam is a single parent.

DadsDivorce.com editor, Rick Ortiz, talks to award-winning author, Joel Schwartzberg, about his collection of divorced dad essays, "The 40-Year-Old Version: Humoirs of a Divorced Dad."

The author discusses how his own experience as a father and, later, as a divorced man was formed into the essays that visitors to this website will appreciate and understand. 

 "We can engineer family law as a system for a particular outcome. What we have now is an outcome that creates deficits in children for no good reason, by removing parents from kids' lives for no good reason."

I never prayed so hard in my life.  I prayed that the man I had grown to almost hate would not be on that plane...

I feel that many single fathers identify themselves as a part-time parent whose major purpose is to pay child support.  Many slowly back away from the struggle to feel important, as many times, as the non-custodial parent, their importance is often not recognized.  Men need to recognize they are important and realize that there is no one who can replace them, so they can grow a closer relationship with their children if they move from the children’s home.
