In the 1990s, being a single father with a different life. path was far from common. There were few people I could look up to, and even fewer I could talk to; I had to find my own way through life’s challenge — raising two children on my own.

Of course, not everyone understands. There were still judgments and misunderstandings. But they didn’t hurt as much as they used to. Honesty and self-acceptance gave me strength. They became my shield, keeping me from negativity.

Now, when people question my story or criticize my book, Out and About Dad, I stay calm. That book isn’t just about my journey — it’s about the power of knowing and accepting yourself. It’s about helping others do the same.
