SINGLE PARENT A single parent is someone not living with a spouse or a partner and who is raising a or more under his/her daily responsibilities. A single parent is the primary caregiver and live together with the /s most of the time. There are many reasons which cause one to be a single parent. Either by divorce, mutual separation, death of either parent, incarceration of one of them, non custodial parent, unwanted pregnancy, non planned pregnancy, pregnancy outside a wedlock, by adoption and due to sexual orientation. Single parent adoption is sometimes an option for adults who want but do not have a partner, do not wish to have any, who can't bear pregnancy or is barren, another option could be to foster a due to loneliness and to share love too. Single parenting has become an accepted norm and is a tendency found in multiple other countries. Single parenting really involves a great deal of responsibilities for the person. I hope my blog has pleased you and wish to read your views on the topic. Thank you. Lisa.              |

Hi Lisa: With the high divorce rate here, when my niece was in public school, one year she only had one classmate whose parents were still together. I sure wish my own mother had been a single parent, because my father was abusive, cold, and controlling. Sure I had two parents, but growing up in that type of atmosphere can leave scars that last a lifetime.

Bijou hello dear, You're warmly welcome on my blog as usual. Yes, you're right dear, I imagine how such atmosphere render the kids anxious, fearful and sad too, cause if the father is abusive, dictates and shows that he is the only master of the house and the family, this really destroys the harmony and peace in the family and surely it would always remain in the mind and that fear also last. I hope you have a better life now Bijou and I wish you all my very best. Hope reading from you again dear. Meanwhile enjoy your day. Lisa.

Crazyhorse hi, you are warmly welcome to my blog and I thank you greatly for your kind visit and for your comments too. Eventually, it's very hard for a father to explain this matter to his daughter, it's a delicate issue I know but I congratulate you for your courage having successfully explained it to her. It's really a hard job raising kids alone but I trust that your fatherly love for her has overtaken all the problem you faced. Plz, take much care of her and give her your attention and much love too. Am sure you are a good father Crazyhorse and I wish you all my best. Very many thanks to you again and hope reading from you again. Lisa.

When I was in elementary school in Chicago, before we moved to the suburbs, my parents were very upset because my best friend was the daughter of a divorcee, a single parent. It just wasn't accepted back then. Times sure have changed!

Thanks again, Kind regards. Lisa.

I was a single parent for several years by choice, but then I come from a matriarchal family of strong, independent women whether married or single.. I decided it was far healthier for the 2 daughters I had then to be raised by a single parent than be subjected to a verbally and emotionally abusive father. Even though I was a professional with a decent income it was harder to support a family on my paycheck alone. However there were perks. I was able to make decisions based on what was best for the children without having to accommodate and balance the often differing needs and wants of a partner. I was fortunate to eventually meet a man who was the ideal partner and dad and who dedicated the rest of his life to me, my girls, and family. Of course he came with children of his own but that was no problem. We even adopted one more. Sadly he passed away way too soon. He was an attentive and loving grandfather and would have been awesome with the now older grands and great grand. Looking back I am even more certain that this was the right decision. My 2 daughters are both strong, confident, emotionally healthy women, both married for 15 years with families of their own, their own careers and both able to do it on their own should the need arise. Best of all they remain close to me and each other. Spiritwoman ^i^

Anyhow it will remain a great souvenir for you and the kids. Thank for your visit and for your experience in this aspect. Wishing you all my best Spiritwoman. Hope reading from you again, Lisa.

Dearest Lisa, Thanks for this great blog of yours on Single Parent. I have seen many women, some of whom are my close relatives, who did not remarry after passing away of their beloved husbands within a very short time of their marriage only for the sake of their children! Have seen also single parent who is a man. I consider all such persons as exceptional and successful parents! Have a great week, Lisa

Nice reading from you about the cases of your relatives, it's really great to devote one's life for the sake of the kids while being a single parent,.
