I'm tired of being strong and keeping a hundred plates spinning. I'm tired of people saying what a great job I'm doing, and that they can't imagine what they'd do in my place. It would be nice to put everything down and be looked after for a bit. I guess I'm just tired. #soloDad

I put a homeopathic amount of green vegetables on my son's plate today. He clearly thought they were there for decoration. #soloDad

I made a breakthrough in therapy today through a counterfactual exercise - what my life would look like right now without kids. It wasn't pretty - it seems I have quite a self-destructive streak - but it helped me touch something really core that I wasn't aware of. 100% would recommend as a technique #therapy #widowhood #soloDad

The two year anniversary is coming up. Every night this week, I've had a little boy sitting in my lap sobbing. 💔 #widowhood #soloDad

When my 12yo was little, she used to lie in her cot and sing to herself. Now that she's older she lies in her bed, plays music videos quietly and sings to herself. All I hear through her closed door is her voice and I remember the little girl 🥲♥️ #soloDad

The two year anniversary is coming up and it's rough holding the emotions of three young people. #widowhood #soloDad

After two weeks of school holidays I have hit a wall. Completely shattered. #soloDad

A cool thing I didn't know before I had a teenager is that every sentence I say is wrong and cringe, and my very presence is exhaustingly embarrassing. Why didn't anyone tell me before? #parenting #soloDad

I'm on another long car trip with the kids. They're being incessantly negative and winding each other up. I can't wait for them to go back to school next week. #soloDad
