Most parents make sacrifices for their children. Single parents compromise for two. Taking blame for the upsetting behavior of your child. Worry about finances. Your list may be shorter or longer.
Most single parents agree that, in the beginning, they feel poor, lonely, overwhelmed and guilty.
Once you understand your feelings, you can make a plan to reduce your stress. First, you might take the time to get quality day care. This can reduce your distractions while you work. Second, you might want to talk with others who have solved single parenting problems for themselves. Friends, support groups, and co-workers can share ideas.
