Advice for single mothers

It is really hard for women to cope with being personally rejected. But what makes the heartache even harder to deal with is a dad who isn't man enough to help look after his child.

Women who find themselves in this situation should ensure that they have a strong support system and talk to friends, family and other women who have traveled the same road.

It is hard to raise a child without a dad. But ultimately, what a child really needs is for you to love them and be the best mum you can be.

Do your best to be a happy mum who does not bad mouth the dad in front of the child. Allow your child to decide for him or herself if the dad is a good or bad person – and don't always remind the child that the dad left.

If the child grows up wanting to know more about the dad, be open to that discussion. - Daily Sun
