[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's kind of funny that the divorced moms are taking offense at the mom whose husband travels a lot saying she's like a single mom, while the widowed mom is saying the divorced moms don't know the struggle of single parenting because they have child support and visitation. [/quote] I'm one of the moms who reacted to the woman whose husband traveled. I'm not a divorced mom, I'm a single mom by choice, I've never been married. There is absolutely no doubt that being widowed is hard in a way that I've never experienced. My heart goes out to her. I can't imagine how hard it would be to be grieving while trying to hold it together for a child. But there's already a term for someone who has lost a spouse and has a child. It is widowed parent/mom/dad. A single parent is someone who is single and a parent. It's not about how hard it is. It's about whether or not you are married or partnered.[/quote]
