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?

This isn’t so much as a question as it is a comment. (So I hope it doesn’t get deleted)

I know a few great men who are doing it alone. I want to tell you how great you are! It can’t be easy, but cheers to you! Single moms are fabulous too, but I think single dads get slightly over looked.

SO, BRAVO TO YOU ALL!
…what kind of person would give a thumbs down to thank you…?
Hex: I mentioned single mothers, but the annoying thing is that single moms are so common now, that when there is a problem with child support or what have you, they don’t get proper attention. But, they get attention….

I think single dads never get the attention they deserve, negative or other wise. I am NOT trying leave ANYONE out here…

My husband and I are getting a separation yet all signs are pointing to a divorce. I was wondering what do single men think of single mothers?? I’m 21 this year and my daughter is only 1 years old. I guess you could say are there men out there who would date a women who has a child already? and why would you exactly?
