Hello!
My name is Collette. I have been a single parent to my daughter for her whole live. She is now 14. I do think it worked best for us that I raised her on her own. I was fairly young when I had her. We practically grew up together. Her father has only recently decided to be part of her life. She has no interest (image after 14 years she has decided it is too little too late!!!? I hope the sarcasm came off in that!) I think she may come around eventually. I asked him to be patient. It's a tough situation for me to be in because I can see her point, but when I was growing up no one was more important to me than my father.

Im a single parent and I must admit that while it can be challenging as you don't have that other parent to deal with the kids when they are acting up I find that it's actually not as bad as its always made out to be by the media and books. I just hate that we have certain ideas already formed about single parents. I honestly feel that its better to not be with a man who's abusive and can't be a proper parent than to stay with him for the "sake of the kids" and so that there are 2 parents.

Hey there. I am a single mom of two girls 10 and 7. I was divorced shortly after our second one was born. There father has no interest in being a father, even though he lives less than 30 min away. Both of my girls want a Father very much, but do not express interest in their own dad at all. (He says that is all my fault, yet he is the one that doesn't make a inch of effort)

I am of the opinion these days that I was a single mum BEFORE, my kids dad and I split up. He didn't contribute much to raising them after they were born, leaving it all to me. It's been a tough ride!!!

I have three kids and my divorce, three years ago now, actually brought the kids closer to their daddy. It was a little too easy for him to ignore what was going on before. Now he is very involved and although things are not good financially, I am much more happy.
