The World Of Single Mothers?

As of 2020, there were 8.8 million single moms in the U.S.

Unwed mothers gave birth to 40% of the children of single moms.  (statista.com)

According to Pew Research Center, the U.S. has the highest share of single parents in the world.

The two most common reasons for single parent families are high rates of divorce and non-marital child bearing.

PROBLEMS FACED BY SINGLE PARENTS:

Visitation and custody problems

Continuing conflict between the parents

Less time for parents and children to spend together

Children’s poor school performance and peer relationships

Disruption in extended family relationships (wikipedia.org)

Single moms often face financial strain and social isolation (parenthoodtimes.com}

So, there you have it, a difficult existence for parent and children.

Single moms need our support with whichever means are available to each of us.

One of their greatest needs is emotional support.

Surely, we can give them that!

If not today, when?
