This divorced dad’s brilliant post about his ex-wife is going viral

For once in the history of the internet, a man’s Facebook rant about his ex-wife is actually quite heartwarming.

Boston-based Billy Flynn Gadbois decided to surprise his ex-wife on her birthday by bringing her flowers and cards with his children.

“Per usual”, he says, “someone asked me why the hell I still do things for her all the time. This annoys me So ima break it down for you all.”

And he proceeded to do so.

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 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. So if you aren’t modelling good relationship behaviour for your kids, get your sh*t together.

Rise above it and be an example. This is bigger than you.

Raise good men. Raise strong women. Please. The world needs them, now more than ever.
