Absolutely! I think solo parents can often feel isolated and unseen, especially in situations where society still largely reflects the traditional nuclear family dynamic. There's an assumption that parents are operating as a team, which isn't always the case, and it can make navigating certain situations harder than they already are.
It's incredibly uplifting when solo parents have a village of their own to lean on and celebrate with, but it can be hard to initiate those connections, especially if you're new to the area or haven't yet found your people. Perhaps creating more opportunities for connection, whether online or in person, could be a great way to build awareness and show support - a bit of visibility goes a long way! It's also a reminder that solo parenting is not an isolated experience; we're all part of a community and should offer understanding and empathy to one another because we don't know what someone else might be going through.
What do you think could be done to create more awareness and support for this often unseen community? We're certainly doing the right thing by starting this conversation!
