Sam's Single Mom
I was lucky to be involved in a progressive school system which was open to
starting a group that catered to single parents. We used sign-up sheets at PTA
meetings, flyers, and word of mouth to let people know about the group. Our first
meeting was incredible! Forty parents attended, including the Vice Principal of
our school, a single Mom. The group became a vital opportunity for parents to share fears and voice
concerns about single parenting and divorce. "Veteran" single parents were able to
share vital tips with us newcomers, and people could ask for and receive practical
help. The group provided our children the chance to realize that their feelings
and fears were shared by other children of divorcing families. |
