I dont think any mother (or father for that matter) sets out to become a single parent. Its not exactly in their life plan, but it happens, you deal with it and make the best job you can.

Totally agree. The stereotypical single parent of breeding kids from mid teens with numerous fathers while living off benefits is far from the truth. The majority of single parents have been left in that position by useless/selfish/waste of time partners, it wasn't asked for or planned.
