I think I agreed because now I am a adult I find it is hard to make a lot of money, you can make ample but not a lot, this makes me think of some single parent who struggle every month to meet ends meet, like they need 1000 dollars to make a comfy life for the baby. I feel pity for the father who left them, how would it be to you if you were a single parent? Will take the yourself to suicide or keep on struggling for a better life?

Yeah...God is good. I often pray to God to protect me from some evil man who want to take advantage of me, I am scared that this kind of thing can happen.

I think its very hard to be a single parent.Many single parents find themselves feeling isolated at one point or another.They dont really relate to singles without children because sinlge parents have an entirely different set of priorities and responsibilities.

I believe all parents struggle, and of course a single parent struggle more! Being one, I can say it's never easy to take care of a child singlehanded for 24/7, but if one take the positive side of the impact, one will be able to go through the tough period soon. We recently has a rave in our country of a single mother abuse her child, and it causes so much comments in the social network. All I can say, if one is not ready, one should never bring another life to the world be it willingly or forced on to.

I was a single parent before and it is difficult I know here in the U.S. there is a lot of help for single parents, but it is still a challenge. You do what needs to be done for your kids.
