Introduction

Single parenting is not a life that many persons want for themselves, but this situation may be beyond their control. Other single parents choose to be in their current state because of bad experiences. These single parents are committed to providing and taking care of their children.

This literature is divided into four important sections. The first section discusses many of the reasons why persons become single parents. The experiences of many single parents are painful, and in a lot of cases, they have not done anything to cause themselves to become single parents. Rape and incest are two illegal sexual actions where females did not give permission, but they may become pregnant and decide to keep their pregnancy. Couples who are living together will have their differences, and one partner may choose to end the relationship and leave the other partner to take care of the children.

In the second section, many of the things that single parents do with their children are discussed. These activities include taking their children to school and arranging for them to return from school. Some children will have to attend extracurricular activities, and it is the responsibility of the single parent to be there for them always. Many single parents may be employed, as they have to provide for themselves and their children. Single parents must teach their children to respect themselves and be involved in domestic activities.

Section three discusses the challenges that single parents go through. These challenges can include insufficient finances to meet their needs and the needs of their children. Single parents may have to move from one rented house to another because of difficult landlords or increases in rent. The work that many single parents have to do will make them overwhelmed, since they also still have to assist their children with schoolwork. Single parents can sometimes feel lonely, even though they have their children with them.

In section four, you will learn that there is hope for single parents. Life is not over for them. They need to breathe again. They need to dream again. Single parents must invest in their health and in their learning. Many times when children have grown up, they will start their own families and will not have much time to remember the sacrifices of their parents. Single parents must stay positive and expect that great things will happen for them. For those single persons who need companions, keep looking, because the challenges of life are about to be over and good days are about to start.

This literature can also be divided into three main sections: the Causes, the Challenges, and the Continuity of single parenting. The combination of these three sections can be thought of as the “Triple C impacts of single parenting.”

Though some single parents are content with their lives, many—perhaps even most—struggle to overcome the challenges and stigmas of being a single parent. How can single parents prioritize time with their children? What are some ways in which single parents can overcome their loneliness? How do single parents open themselves up to dating again? In this book, Reverend Geary Reid offers answers to these questions—and many more. Indeed, Reid not only discusses the causes and challenges of being a single parent but also offers practical strategies for raising a family without a partner, balancing finances, becoming a more present parent, and developing mindfulness. Being a single parent is undeniably challenging, but with intentional self-determination, single parents can live happy, rewarding lives.
