It’d be an understatement to say that Wayne Toh, father of four, has been through a lot as a single father over the past 12 years.
In 2010 his ex-wife up and left, handing over custody of their four young children and signing away her share of their HDB flat.
Her abrupt departure left the family reeling — in shock, confusion, and hurt.
Even today, the end of his marriage is still a sensitive topic for Toh, who says that he’s thankfully not had to talk about it much.
After all, people tend to be more interested in how he manages to not only provide for four children while also caring for them as a single parent.
Today, with his children growing up and growing more independent, the 47-year-old is keen to share his extraordinary experience of fatherhood.
Toh sees this as a way of taking a stand for single parents out there who might be “struggling and suffering” in silence, out of fear that they might face discrimination.
There’s also the fact that, in his experience, sharing his story helps him revisit the past and salvage important lessons from the difficult years now behind him.
