Single Parents

Yes, I am a single parent too. Our job is twice is hard without a supportive spouse (this also applies to those of you with an unsupportive other half). This is where family and friends come in. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

• Call and talk to a friend, away from the situation that is escalating.
• Ask a friend to come over for a couple of hours.
• Get a really good sitter and go out.
• Call a hotline.
• Plan a family gathering, something simple to reconnect with others.
• Don't let others get to you!!! You know what works the best. Some people don't understand or don't WANT to understand when it comes to behavioral disorders. They often don't know what therapy is, or consider it a weakness. It is NOT, actually it is the best resource available.
