There are four types of single parents: those who are divorced, widowed, never married, and separated. Each type of single parent has their own unique challenges and rewards.
Divorced single parents often have a hard time adjusting to their new lifestyle. They may feel like they failed at marriage, and may feel guilty about their children’s lives being turned upside down. They may also have a hard time co-parenting with their ex-spouse.
Widowed single parents have to deal with the death of their spouse, as well as the challenges of raising children on their own. They may feel overwhelmed and isolated, and may struggle with the financial burden of being a single parent.
Never married single parents often face judgement from family and friends. They may feel like they are not good enough to raise children on their own, and may struggle with self-doubt.
Separated single parents are in a unique situation, as they are still technically married but are living apart. They may have a hard time balancing their own needs with the needs of their children. They may also struggle with the emotional impact of their separation.
