I'll concur with Aussie that single-mother households are somewhat stigmatized in this country.
We have a single mother on our street.
Every other household on our street is a two-parent family.
She always seems bitter and angry.
Her kids are loud and bratty (not just saying this to make anyone feel bad) and quite frankly, everyone assumes they'll end up being delinquents.
Her oldest son is a few years younger than my oldest and the three of us would throw the ball around a lot years back. He's 20ish now and we see him from time to time.
My wife's good friend from her childhood days is a single mom in Albany, NY.
When we see her we see her hands are full with her son, but she still seems happy.
Being a single-parent is not an easy life.
