For years I was on Reddit and the last few years as a new dad I really liked daddit, it was a very nice community of dads that would share advice and help each other. It's the only part of Reddit I miss and never found a substitute for.

So I hope dadvice can grow into a community like that.

Please share your stories, dad jokes, ask for help, etc.

This reads almost exactly like my life at the moment. My soon to be ex wife let her addiction take control, she was driving around the kids under the influence all the time. While waiting for the divorce proceedings I have full custody of the kids.

It's hard, but worth every second knowing they are safe.

I'm sorry to read that man. It's really hard knowing that the person you loved enough to marry turned out to be that dangerous. Addiction and mental illnesses are, in my opinion, not the fault of the person afflicted by it, but it doesn't mean that we have to be harmed by their illnesses or allow our children to be put in danger by them. I hope your divorce goes smoothly, quickly and ends with you having your kids.
