Single fathers are discriminated against in many ways. However from my own expereince fathers raising daughters get it worse. Often this is subtle but it is felt by single fathers. This is a tradegy because a single father raising a daughter needs the most support from the community of any family.

There is a greater awareness of boys needing fathers. The lack of understanding of the importance of fathers to daughters is rather overwhelming in my view.

This article attempts to make suggestions helpful hints for single fathers raising daughters.

I’d love to hear from other single fathers raising daughters. I know there are plenty of them but their voices are rarely heard.
