>I'm in a situation in which I'm raising my daughters on my own
First of all, that's not merely a "situation"; it's a privilege and a responsibility. You seem to already know that.
t. a single father with 2 daughters, aged 16 and 14, who has been doing this single parenting thing for almost 14 years now.
You Can Do It!
I did not drag a bunch of girlfriends into my daughters' lives, and you seem to have the same mindset. I figure I can date again when they grow up and move out. It hasn't been easy, and still isn't, but it was the right decision for my little family. I also worried about female role models, but I have many female friends who have been there for that, and, as my girls have gotten older, they have made friends who have good female role models in their lives.
May I ask how old your daughters are? I ask because, in many ways, the younger years are easier wait for the teenage years!, but each age has its own complications. I have been followed home a couple times and had the cops called on me at least 8 times (that I can remember) by nosey bitches who could not imagine two young girls being cared for by a tall neckbeard with no woman around! This only happens when they're young.
The best part of being a single father with daughters is you can raise them how you choose, and help them to become better women than the vast majority of women out there. There is no one to tell you, "No. You can't do that." Case in point, I chose to home school all the way through, and still am.
>in b4 Christfag. Definitely not. Just disconcerted with public education.
Home school allows me to provide experiences and activities that most kids only dream of. My girls are heavily involved in community theatres and singing groups, and their schedule is flexible enough to be a part of things most kids can't be a part of or experience. I'm taking both girls with me on a 5 month trip through Thailand, India, Nepal and Tibet during this school year, and they will gain much life experience and real education during this time.
>in b4 but I don't have much money!
I live at 1/3 the poverty level. If I can do this anyone can. Most never will. Ask yourself what is most important to you. If it is raising your daughters to the best of your ability, then do that. I am. You can too. You don't have to go about it the way I have, but, by all means, do what is best for them. Only you know what that is. Don't let other people's judgments affect your parenting behavior.
Good Luck and many Blessings on your journey, my man.

Reddit spacing is a double space between each sentence, not between paragraphs.
>in b4 fuck your wall of text! can I get a tl;dr?
Nah. You're in it for the long haul.
