Women are the problem.

They’re cheaters, homewreckers, gold diggers, and narcissists. That’s what an angry dad told me in a Facebook group last week. Ouch.

I wanted to ask, “Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning bro?”

But I didn’t. Because this isn’t just one dad ranting.

This belief system — this anger — echoes through online spaces where single dads gather. A place where pain turns into bitterness, where frustration calcifies into resentment.

Being a single dad is challenging. You need support. Seeking brotherhood from men with a shared lived experience is the right call. But there’s a right and a wrong way to go about it.

Let me show you the right way.

Does this sound familiar?

You’re broken.

Burnt out. Beaten down by custody battles, financial strains, and 100% grade-A grief.

You feel discarded by your ex. Like dating is rigged against men. Confused about your place as a man in 2025. Disconnected from your kids. Bitter. Lost. Unsupported.
