One Parent families
Parenting is a challenging task with spousal and extended family support, so it must be even more demanding when parenting alone. There are many reasons why parents find themselves in a situation of parenting alone; death of a partner, separation or divorce. This, in turn, can add financial and emotional strains on a one parent family.
