Single Dads, Take Notes — What This Guy Does For His Ex-Wife Is Amazing

Too often, we see couples going through bitter divorces. Between custody battles, child support, and splitting belongings in half, divorce can have a huge negative impact on kids.

Which is exactly what makes this dad so special. Father-of-two Billy Flynn is divorced, but that doesn’t stop him from going out of his way to shower his ex-wife with acts of kindness. Though they might not be in love anymore, they both love (and are loved) by two wonderful children, and that’s a bond that can never be broken. What follows is stated in his own words.

“It’s my ex-wife’s birthday today so I got up early and brought flowers and cards and a gift over for the kids to give her and helped them make her breakfast. Per usual someone asked me why the hell I still do things for her all the time. This annoys me. So ima [sic] break it down for you all.”

“I’m raising two little men. The example I set for how I treat their mom is going to significantly shape how they see and treat women and affect their perception of relationships. I think even more so in my case because we are divorced.”
