Why is it that a single mother is a victim, while a single father is not? As a single father (my fiancee was killed by a drunk driver when our daughter was 2, she is now 4) I have filed many appeals in court because of lack of support from the government and have won, but I still am shocked how often people fail to care about the situations many men are in. It seems as though single mothers get extra benefits beyond what a single father would receive in the same situation. These benefits extend beyond financial incentives, and include community support, outreach programs and M-for-M programs, etc. Yes, there are far less single fathers than single mothers, but the suicide rate among young males is so high, and one of the reasons I felt motivated to ask this question is because lately I have found myself depressed (not suicidal) and I blame it on the lack of community support and outreach.

Why does society have such little compassion for single fathers, yet so much for single mothers?

I know I won’t end up with a man, and I will probably be a single mother because I don’t want to wait forever to have children.

I will most likely use a donor.

What do I tell my children about their father if he is a donor? And when should I tell them?

I have a friend who is a single mother and is struggle to make ends meet. She had a baby at a young age so she could not finish school but recently started again. She is also from Brazil living in the states with a greencard and she would love to move to Canada. Would anyone know how she could be helped if she moved to Canada? The father by the way is a loser who doesn’t want to work so she left him.
She came to study in the states because she wanted a good education for herself. She was not having a good life in Brazil. She didnt’ plan on coming here and having a baby, she made a mistake and that mistake has cost her, her life. Im just seeing if she can get help, not to get ridiculed.

I am a single mother of a wonderful 3 year old daughter but am struggling to make ends meet. I need some financialy assistance and we need a place to stay. I have been told that there are government grants or programs that could help out in these situations, as far as housing and such. I live in NC, so I’m not sure if there are any state programs as well. Does anyone know of any and how I can apply?
Thanks
what do you mean low income situations?

I have never been prejudice before and just today, I’ve had feeling come thru me that are horrible. I’m a 35-year-old single mother of two, I’m a Veteran, and I’m employed full time. Therefore, I want to go back to school to get my bachelor degree in Human Services. I’ve applied to the school, I’m ready for classes and I’m looking for scholarships or grants on the FAFSA website. I plug in all my data about myself from my sexuality to my hobbies, I get 223 pages of scholarships, and I’m like wow! Nevertheless, I’m now on page 22 out of 223 and so far I have to be; "a child of employees of direct member companies belonging to the Automotive Recyclers Association.” "must have at least 1/4 degree Indian blood from a federally recognized tribe." or "be an African-American, Hispanic/Latino, or Native American" or be current member of the NAACP and must not have reached the age of 25 by the application deadline"
What happened to a basic scholarship or grants? Any suggestions to other website
