Single parenting is becoming a more commonplace and accepted parenting style in the United States. Being a single parent can be frightening, confusing and overwhelming but it can also be very rewarding. Single or not, you are and always will be your children's parent and the most important tools you possess are your love for your children, your wisdom and your common sense. If you do the best you can, learn from your mistakes and love your children along the way, you are doing all any parent, single or married, can ever do.
