Jessica Singleton is an example that proves the assumption wrong, and she took to Facebook to tell everyone about how great her ex, Jon Megason, is as a person and more importantly, as a father to their son.
"This is my ex," she began, "This right here is more valuable than gold."
She describes how he doesn't need to pay her support through the state because he's always just there when she needs him, happily helping pay for necessities like clothing for their son or simple entertainment like movie bundles. "A man who drops off the $45 box of pull-ups at my front door so I don't have to load [our son] up and go to the store."
The list continues, explaining how he is happy to pick up the boy with very little notice, helps her through her worst, stressful moments, and helps them when the house needs repair.
"This is a man who tells his son not to forget Mommy's boyfriend when he lists his favorite people off the top of his head." Jon has labeled presents with "Mommy" when she couldn't afford them all herself and accompanies her to Craigslist sale meetings to ensure she's safe.
"This is the diaper-bag-wearing, chocolate-milk-making, selfless, protective, generous, accomplished FATHER to my son."
Her message to other parents dealing with a breakup is important: "This was not easy, this was a choice. Stop giving excuses and come together for your children. I'm the most stubborn person that I know and forgiveness came easy to us for the sake of our son. And because of that, I see my son every single day. We always welcome each other's presence."
She ended with a heartfelt message to Jon directly. "In case I haven't told you lately, I'm grateful for you."
"Most importantly for the motivated individual you are and how you provide Pierson with a phenomenal role model despite the foundation you once had. I love the amount of love my son will always have from you."
