Single-Parents Online Support Group

Being a single-parent can be challenging to say the least. Single-parents may often feel thinly spread, overwhelmed and underappreciated. Most single-parents juggle their household responsibilities with work, which leaves very little time for themselves. Their parenting responsibilities are no different to that of those married – but the difference is that they have a stronger sense of feeling like they are doing it on their own. Single-parenting exacerbates the pressures of raising kids, especially in the 21st century.
