The single
mother is no longer the exception. It’s almost the rule. There are many women
who either have chosen not to be married or have gone through divorces who have
children. In these instances, there are unique stresses to being both the
mother and father to a child. A single mother has to play both roles. She has
to be a disciplinarian, supporter and/or providing love and care at times that
are needed. This can be stressful for the single mom, which is why she needs to
also have time for herself and not feel guilty about it when she does.
