Hi.

I'm Ben, the "dad" part of this Single Dad Journey, just incase you hadn't worked that bit out.

I don't claim to be a guru or some kind of Buddha on being a single dad, although the amount of Ben and Jerrys I smashed through as a form of therapy combined with binging on Netflix, I started to look a little like Buddha.

If you haven't already, you can start with the "Start here...." section. Or you can just be a fucking renegade and read whatever you like.

Either way, I genuinely hope you get something out of this, or if you know someone who would and if it helps in anyway, gives you something to think about, makes you laugh or inspires you to share your story too, then my job here is done!

About

I'm a writer, actor, director, photographer and single dad. When I became a single dad, I searched for advice and help and didn't find much out there in Google land. With friends and friends of friends asking me for advice on how I copped and approached things, I found I wasn't alone and neither were they.

So..... I thought why not open up the conversation about life as a single dad. I don't claim to have the answers or know how to do this, but if I share my story, it may just help. You may laugh at me, or with me, or avoid everything I did and create your own journey.

I hope this blog inspires you to explore who you are as a person, as a dad, or mum or carer or whoever you are and how you deal with the single parent life. Feel free to leave a comment or follow me on social media!
