People who have never experienced being a single parent—or a single parent with their partner in prison–are the worst at offering unsolicited advice. They have no idea what it is like living on a single income (without child support), balancing work and kids’ schedules, and trying to get it all done every day on the limited energy of one person. Single parents of children who have a parent in prison are……ROCK STARS.

You are making it through the toughest season of your life, one moment at a time. Raising children as a single parent takes an extraordinary amount of focus, dedication, energy, and commitment. It is a huge responsibility and a ton of hard work. But, the benefits are unbelievable! Parenting is both the best and worst job in the world, but it is also the most rewarding career you will ever have—if you invest in making it successful.
