My son has godmothers, godfathers, grandparents and so many others in his life who love him as much as I do. They're there for both of us. I may not have a mate or husband, but I'm definitely not a single parent.

I truly have a village supporting me. My son has godmothers, godfathers, grandparents and so many others in his life who love him as much as I do. They're there for both of us. I may not have a mate or husband, but I'm definitely not a single parent.

My mom, for all intents and purposes, was a single parent.

I am a single parent and I am not getting any compensation for my losses.

I write from the same place I parent, and since becoming a single parent, I have found it difficult, if not impossible, to write anything of length.

My mum Margaret was a single parent, but though life was a bit of a struggle she gave me every encouragement.
