Single parenting is a strain in every direction. On a good day, you can fret about being “untraditional” and worry whether your children’s lives might be better; on a bad day, you come face to face with the brutal economics of being both the provider and the nurturer, and you worry whether your children will eat tonight, or who will watch them when work requires you to stay late unexpectedly.

But when single parenting gets reported, distinctions are rarely made between being truly all by yourself, or co-parenting with an ex, or being unmarried but living with someone, or being unmarried but in a steady relationship. These distinctions shake out quite differently the world around.

The New Single Mother

Today's single mother does not necessarily fit the old stereotype of an unwed teen living on welfare. Unwed motherhood has lost much of its stigma and has even been glamorized by celebrity role models. In addition, many women are better educated and better able to support themselves—so marriage is no longer a financial prerequisite to motherhood.

Some single mothers, especially adult children of divorced parents, remain single because they do not want to make their offspring suffer the pain of watching a parent leave. Other women become single mothers as a result of abandonment, not by choice. "Lone parenthood is not generally a selfish and wilful choice," "and children in lone-parent families are not neglected and undisciplined."

Still, the prevalence of single-parent families is a matter of concern because single parents and their children may suffer emotional stress, economic need, and social disadvantages. Some people may wonder if it is possible for one parent to raise children successfully. What are some of the special challenges facing single-parent families? How can a believer successfully meet the challenge of raising children as a single parent?
