Single dealing with all responsibilities

Being a single parent can be one of the most difficult things to go through.  They have multiple responsibilities such as taking care of the child, covering expenses for the child, making sure the house is clean, paying bills.  Probably the two most important things are making sure there is a roof over their child’s head and food at the table.  My mom, the women above in those images, is going through this on a daily basis.

There are so many emotional challenges that single parents have to go through such as loneliness and depression.  The parent cannot share memories memories with someone as they don’t have a partner.  And because of the lack of financial support, single parents can feel bad because they cannot support the child’s needs and wants. If parents aren’t able to cope with raising a child by themselves, there can be a risk to the parent and child such as anxiety, depression and even physical harm can come to the child.  It’s rough on everyone.
