As Fathers of special needs children, much of our time is spent busily supporting the family, going to or attentively finding out how doctor's appointments went, advocating for our kid(s), and simply doing our level headed best to keep it all above water.  It's helpful to know we're not the only ones out there, to have a few peers to connect with, and perhaps learn from each other's experiences as we do everything we can to help our kids and family cope with their unique challenge(s).

If you live in Lanham, Greenbelt and even Bowie area and want to meet other like minded parents then this is the place for you! I would like this group to foster a community where we can provide a safe …

We created this group for the simple fact: Men need other men to support each other as Fathers. Several of us got tired of not having guys to help support each other or to be friends with, so our kids can see us in positive and healthy male relationships. Often there are issues with dating and other ladies being around, and the stress of parenthood on a new relationship can be too much. We want to be men, helping men to be awesome fathers and better mates the next time around. And most important …
