Sometimes it is, unfortunately, necessary for couples to separate. Indeed, this may be the best option after all other possible solutions are explored and exhausted.
This was the case for Brandon Carpenter and his ex. Although they have a child together, the pair decided it would be best to go their separate ways.
Brandon Carpenter is a father of a beautiful baby daughter he loves to the moon and back. Even though he and his wife untied the knot and went separate ways, this loving father made sure to never leave his daughter’s side and to be a person she can always rely on. He proved this in a way that now has people everywhere cheering.
His ex asked him if he could bring some medicine off for their daughter. But when Brandon arrived at her apartment, he discovered something that left him worried and saddened: her refrigerator was essentially empty, containing only some water.
This prompted him to take action, which he later recounted in a Facebook post that has since gone viral.

However, Brandon noted that his ex’s pantry was thankfully full of baby food for his daughter, stocked with formula, baby snacks, and more.
When Brandon closed the refrigerator door, he knew what to do.

Brandon went straight to the supermarket and purchased a long list of groceries for his ex.
“She works a full-time job and then has my daughter,” Brandon later explained on Facebook. “She pays rent and all her bills plus she is paying off a car. So today I went shopping to make sure she had food for the next few weeks. Just because we aren’t together doesn’t mean I can’t provide for her if she needs it.”
Brandon explained that he did this out of respect for his daughter’s mother and he understands that a happy mother makes a happy child.
“If my child’s mother is good then I know she is taking care of our daughter the best she can and that makes me happy. Some of y’all think I’m only going to provide for my child, but that’s thinking like a child. It’s time to grow up and take responsibility in all aspects of life!” Brandon concludes in his Facebook post.

Disagreements can happen in any relationship, but it’s important to try to remain civil, especially when there’s a child involved. Brandon’s good behavior is something every parent can look up to.
Now there’s a dad who definitely understands a thing or two about life after separation!
