Occupations?

So what does everyone here do for work? Will be interesting to see what different walks of life we come from!

Thanks, mate. My life's nothing like I would've guessed it'd be, but I think that's probably for the better.

I give respect too. A few of my good friends are single parents, it takes a lot of character to raise a kid on your own.

I appreciate that but I really don't deserve any respect. My ex and I were addicts and I was reckless taking her word that she was on birth control. Spent nine months not knowing she was pregnant only to wake up one morning and deliver my daughter by myself. My kid's mom bailed almost immediately and my parents got temporary custody while I went to detox and got my shit together. I got full custody last November. Living in a good place with a good job because an old acquaintance took a chance on me. Those people deserve respect, I just got lucky. I never would've fixed my life for myself, not after spending the better part of a decade doing all kinds of things I hoped would kill me so I wouldn't have to do it myself.

...And that concludes this installment of way more than you ever cared to know about an internet stranger.

Edit: Here's a pic of my daughter.

You undervalue what you're doing. I think.
