Hello My Global Grinditas!!!
I recently took a little down time to see my Father for Daddy's day, and it made me realize how truly blessed I have been. First let me wish a belated Happy Father's Day to all the Father's that do their best to raise their children!!
As I do more mentoring with young women I run into more instances of teen pregnancy and single mothers who are raising children either alone or with some half-a$$ baby daddy. From the 'tele-daddy' who thinks calling on the phone every blue moon means he is raising his child, to the 'drive-thru' daddy who sees his kids just long enough to hit a McDonalds and drop 'em back off, or even the more popular 'MIA (missing in action) to never be seen again' daddy. I'm realizing that the number of single mothers and broken homes is rising and too often the result is a broken child.

For those of you already dealing with these types of situations I want to say a few things. The first is to commend you on taking the responsibility and challenge of raising another person. The second is for being the bigger person in your situation and doing what is best for yourself and your child.
