As a single parent do you feel left out a lot? Do you feel uncomfortable in most social situations? Most single parents feel that way. You are not alone. Finding a place to fit in when you are a single parent is tough. Your married friends look at you in pity. Your single friends without kids do not understand what you go through with your given responsibilities. Their outlook is centered on themselves usually while you live for your children. The only ones that really understand are those in a situation such as yours.
You are a single parent either by choice, divorce, or widowhood. If by choice, you are probably not bothered at all by the situation since you chose it to be that way. If you are divorced, you have been through a situation that probably harbors many ill feelings. If you are a single parent by widowhood then you have known a different sort of sadness. Each of these situations has their own story to tell on their journey to single parenthood.
If you are looking for the perfect place for you, a place where you will find like situations as stated above, a place where you fit in, then a great place to find solace is in the Parents Without Partners organization. There are others looking for the very same thing that you are there. You will not only find company, someone to share stories with who understand, but you will find many events that you can participate in either with just the adults or family outings where your kids will find other kids that are being raised by only one parent.
