    What was the hardest time you went through as a single dad and how did you overcome it?

      The beginning: it was hard to juggle everything - but after a solid routine / schedule - effective time management, it became acceptable. Later on in life: around 3 years ago I met and started dating this woman. Well, my son is very territorial and hates having strangers (even relatives or friends) stay over in our house - he likes peace and quiet and if there’s people around he shuts himself in his room as he feels “suffocated”. So I had to make the decision to not move in with her. Thankfully she understood and we have a good relationship, she visits and stuff but doesn’t spend the night.
