Father’s Day for Single Fathers – A Day to Celebrate Fatherhood No Matter What

Father’s Day for single fathers can bring mixed emotions.

Single Dads at Increased Risk of Suicide on Father’s Day

For thousands of fathers in America, Father’s Day was one of the few days this year they were able to see their children. For others, it was another day spent in a seemingly endless custody battle against a system that was stacked against them from the start. For far too many, that battle proved too much and their Father’s Day ended tragically in suicide.
