This thread is here to offer support, advice and a listening ear to all solo parents navigating this challenging yet rewarding journey. Whether you're a single parent by choice, circumstance or anything else, know that you don't have to go it alone.
Being a solo parent comes with unique challenges - from the emotional toll to practical considerations like managing finances, childcare duties and balancing work life. We hope this can be a safe space to share our stories, offer advice and encouragement, and remind each other that we're not alone in the ups and downs of single parenting.
I'll go first! For those who are feeling up to it, let's introduce ourselves and share a little about our solo parent journeys. It doesn't have to be detailed - just a quick snippet to break the ice will do. I'm a single mom to two energetic kids, aged 6 and 8. Left my ex three years ago due to some unsavoury circumstances, and it's been a wild ride ever since! Fortunately, my parents are incredibly supportive, which has helped me manage the challenges of solo parenting. Who's next?
