The mother abandoned her daughter a month after giving birth.

Single father Richard Johnson’s heartfelt Facebook post about parenting his daughter after her mother abandoned them has gone viral. Initially hesitant about fatherhood, Johnson’s life changed when he learned he was going to be a dad. After his daughter Persephone’s mother left when Persephone was a month old, Johnson embraced single fatherhood. His post on Life of Dad, detailing his challenges and growth, received over 12,000 likes. Persephone’s mother took her to California but later threatened adoption if Johnson didn’t retrieve her. They’ve been together since.

Johnson, now living with a friend who’s also a single parent, shared the difficulties of early single fatherhood, seeking advice from friends and starting a support group. His 10-month-old daughter, Persephone, has brought immense joy to his life, and he expressed gratitude to Life of Dad for the support. Johnson, working part-time at U-Haul, desires night work to care for Persephone. The response to his post surprised him, emphasizing the importance of fatherhood and the supportive community.

Johnson, once against having children, now cherishes fatherhood, providing the best start for his daughter. He captures memories through photos and letters and values their special bond. The post resonates with many, highlighting the universal challenges and emotional experiences of fatherhood. Johnson credits Life of Dad for helping him navigate single parenthood and is grateful for the positive impact on his and Persephone’s lives.
