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!
