What a slap in the face to ALL the single parent families out there and all the single parent FReepers on this forum.
Nice broad brush you paint them with. That includes those who are divorced against their will, whose spouses up and leave and abandon the family, those whose spouses are sick or incapacitated in some way and essentially can't help with the child rearing, soldiers who are out on duty and stationed overseas so the spouse is raising the children alone, and those whose spouses have DIED.
This boy is part of a single parent family now.
