Sex and the single mom: if you think dating is hard, try adding kids into the mix

Article Abstract:

A single mother contemplates the possible effect that her dating would have on her son. As he has once expressed hesitation in sharing her with anyone else, she finds herself in a position more difficult than the one many single moms are in. Still, she knows that she has the right to seek a good romantic relationship even as she could begin doing so by going out on a simple date.

Single again

Article Abstract:

A recently divorced woman found her friends avoiding her once she tells them of the breakup of her marriage. She realized that their sudden hostility may be a reaction to her newfound power to be independent or due to their need to protect themselves from divorce, as well as the notion that a wife is more socially acceptable than a single mother.
