<\/p>\nWe have all heard tales of fathers who have completely cut off communication with their offspring and partners. <\/p>\n
However, stories of moms who leave their children are uncommon. Richard’s life underwent a drastic upheaval in January. <\/p>\n
He finally assumed the role of father. But Richard’s luck ran out, and everything in his life fell apart.<\/p>\n
Persephone, Richard’s daughter, was taken away by his wife when she only had a month old and moved to California.<\/p>\n
She must have experienced postpartum depression since during her worst moment, she threatened to place the daughter for adoption unless Richard arrived right away to remove her.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Richard quickly drove to California to take his daughter with him because he did not want to lose her.<\/p>\n
Although he would be pleased to see his daughter again, their future was uncertain. He never handled a child by himself.<\/p>\n
Richard found support from an unlikely place, a Facebook page called Life of Dad, when he needed it. <\/p>\n
Richard received the support he required from the single fathers organization, and they greatly assisted him.<\/p>\n
He addressed the group in an open letter, which swiftly went viral and spread like wildfire online.<\/p>\n

Richard’s amazing message is as follows:<\/p>\n
Persephone’s mother left us about a month after she was born; we still don’t know why, but we assume <\/p>\n
postpartum depression played a significant role. My name is Richard Johnson, and I am the sole dad of this gorgeous girl.<\/p>\n
I ran into your group during the first few weeks when it was just my daughter and I. I was incredibly <\/p>\n
anxious and afraid to become a father, but as a single parent, I suddenly had two responsibilities to fulfill. And I was unsure of how to proceed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u2018I studied every ‘New parent’ book I could find and viewed more than 1000 hours of parent education videos, <\/p>\n
covering everything from hair braiding to nail art to ideas for coping with everyday issues. Then I started to follow your group and <\/p>\n
realized there were other fathers experiencing the same issues. I gained confidence from the group and received support during this.<\/p>\n
I look forward to seeing the photos and reading the biographies of the outstanding fathers in your neighborhood. <\/p>\n
My daughter and I appreciate all of your assistance during these really trying times.
\nNow that we are both content, we are becoming closer every day. <\/p>\n
Now that she is 10 months old, my friends are requesting parenting advice from me as a favor. My daughter and I have gone a long way, <\/p>\n
and we owe the group and the members of it a great deal of what we have accomplished. In that case, thank you so much from both of us.<\/p>\n
Regards, R. Johnson and Persephone.<\/p>\n
