Hi guys, long time lurker here. Just created an account to finally post. Sorry, but English is not my first language. A long time ago my ex left me with our 1 year old daughter, saying she doesn't want to be a mother at a young age. I had to raise our daughter as a single father. I was a scholar for law school back then, but a had to take a full time job at Family Mart ( convenience store) to support my needs and the studies of my younger sister. I had to sacrifice many things, I was like school, study, work and sleep for 4 hours everyday. I lived at my father's house who was at the time a truck driver, a fisherman and other odd jobs to provide four walls for the family. My mother helped me in raising my daughter and I had a younger sister who still in high school. Times were tough, we lived in a poor neighborhood we would suffer in floods and blackouts. Fortunately I passed the bar exam and I was immediately hired at the firm I was interning at. I was also invited by my school to be a professor which I am still teaching at today. I had a lot of short term relationships with women back then. It all fell apart because of the same reasons#AWALT. It was because I wouldn't fully commit . In my country when you get married you give all your money to your wife and you get an allowance. I wanted that# Bluepill, but I knew I had to put my family first. Eventually I realized the juice was not worth the squeeze. If I got horny I would go to establishments called soaplands, for 50 USD beautifully women would rock your world. And if you can pay the extra you can get the blonde Russians. I was just in and out, no feelings and no hard times. Anyway, saved up opened up a law firm with my friends and everything was turning around. I also had the opportunity to study in the US for a degree in Public Management.

More than 20 years has passed since I was left with a broken heart and a wallet full of lint, life has pretty much turned around. Sadly my mother passed in 2014 after a long fight with cancer. I loved my mom, she was faithful to my father, raised me, my sister and my daughter. She would cook, clean and made sure the family needs were met. Sometime she would not eat dinner, so we could be fed. My father retired, now lives in a house I owned in the island called Palawan, I give him some money monthly. My sister turned to became a theater actress and is temporarily(She wouldn't move out) living with me. My daughter is attending a prestigious university majoring in political science and wants to be also a lawyer. My daughter is as beautiful as her mother when she was young, I had my daughter legitimized. I recently taught her how to drive and bought her a Honda. We live in 2,400 sq.m. house in an upscale neighborhood. I splurge at cars often, because no wife. Turning 45 in June, Became a father, a lawyer, an educator, a business owner and a public servant. I slaved away to support my family. Life was hard and bitter, but Life isn't as sweet without the sour #MGTOW.
