[Mrs. Don-o]

Momma's boyfriend? Well, that's just the thing. Live-in boyfriend does not equal husband, Man-of-the-Moment does not equal father to the kids, and cohabitation does not equal marriage.

Looking at the whole spectrum of living arrangements, a married household headed by the mom & dad of the children, is the safest for both women and children; a cohabitation household is the worst.

Imagine a single woman becomes pregnant, and then the baby-daddy gets run over by a bus. If she never engages in another “intimate relationship,” then her chances of domestic abuse are basically zero, until her child is a teenager.
