The Bad Dad’s Survival Guide

She says she’s pregnant. Somehow you resist the urge to flee screaming from the building. You sit and nod as she speaks for another thirty minutes. You hear only two words: ‘I’m pregnant.’

You go to a bookshop to find something, anything, that will help you understand the mixture of emotions currently bubbling like acid in your brain. But every book for prospective fathers presumes one thing, one single falsehood – that because you had the ability to physically procreate you must be a mature, upstanding citizen.

Wrong. You’re a mess, how can you raise a child? You have one primary project in life, Project You, and that’s not going well. You didn’t budget for additional events that would develop into Project You And Significant Others Who Will Depend On You Forever.

This book is written for you, he who sees his life being stripped away. The Bad Dad.

Read it and you might survive.
