These types of attacks are reported to be the most damaging and traumatizing experience for single mothers. Single mothers have little resource and time. Their efforts are spent on raising their children - on one income, with one person's physical strength. Most single moms are deeply concerned about their children's welfare and how they will continue to provide for them from moment to moment. We've all heard of the irresponsible or neglectful single parent.
Every small expense is a big decision.
No matter what anyone says or has come to believe. Of all the things I've been through, it was the most horrifying experience and I would never wish that on myself or anyone else. Most women do everything within their power to avoid divorce. Of all the single parent I've met, only two men would fit into the same upstanding catagory - proving they desired a healthy balanced marriage over divorce by taking all the steps possible to avoid it. To make things worse, in many cases when the X is particularly bent, he runs around town and spends alot of effort smearing the name of the single mother in order to clear his own.
