As for your original question, yes. Surprisingly. I am newly divorced and relocated to an affluent suburb. Part of the reason I chose the area was because it is a very progressive area with great diversity, but I have realized that that diversity does not extend to the makeup of different types of families. My Kindergarten student is the only one in a class of 20 students with a single parent. Same goes for her classmates at ballet and karate.[/quote]

Thank you for answering here. My area is also very progressive and diverse but lacks diversity in types of families- I didn’t realize it until I was considering stepping into this decision. There is a big focus on couples and heteronormative adult roles that we’ve already been a bit on the outside of because DH refuses to socialize and has been a loner since we had our child. It is frightening to imagine being further on the outside of the community, but my finances and lack of support structure will not make a move a good choice right now. My Dd is already the sole only child in her class so I’m really conscious of the fact that she has no peer support at home and already feels different at school.

Do you know about the families from karate or ballet because your DD noticed or something else? [/quote]
