You'd think with half of all kids living in a single parent family there would be more help out there. Whenever I read SWC, I feel you are talking directly to me.

More children live with a single mother than they do in traditional two-parent households.
And the majority of single parents are white. The unmarried mother rate for black women slipped to 46.2 percent in 1992, while for white women overall rose from 6.7 percent to 12.9 percent. Mothers were shown to have more of an influence on their children.
