This is yet another pivotal category of every community. One author once said, “Being a single parent is twice the work, twice the stress and twice the tears but also twice the hugs, twice the love and twice the pride”. In realisation of the double burden most single parents go through in that, they have to juggle between the assumed TWO roles considered an advantage to those in functional partnerships. One has to make ALL decisions alone, management of kid’s life alone and handle all financial pressures alone.
At times loneliness management goes out of control exposing this only soul to the waves of merciless wolves out there. In most cases single parents are easily lured into love traps as they become desperate for partners. It is usually the hurting they experience either from their Exs or current esteemed partners which collectively negatively messes up their environment and relationships with those around them.
Life must continue with or without a partner. Guarding jealously against the wolves which always want to take advantage of their loneliness and mess the nest they are building around those dependant on them should be of primary focus. Through our One-On-One sessions with members of this category we are able to redirect their focus, strength and positive roles within their spheres of influence.
