Hi friend i am also a single mother. Had only one baby. But, i did not get my dream baby that easily, Struggled for nearly 5 years after marriage to get that baby. Not naturally. Had some infertility problem. So, approached a fertility centre in Chennai, and through IVF treatment, finally i got my dream true. Now i am with my Baby. Her name is Sri. Spending time happily with her taking care of her. I liked the way life is going on now.

Being a single mother is quite difficult. I am a single mother. Actually I am a divorcee and this makes my situation more difficult. Here in india, being a divorcee in itself is a challenge. I am asked the reason always. As for getting my child admitted to a school, i have to answer many queries pertaining to the father of the child. Why is it that we single mothers can't have our own identity and we always have to depend on man. why is father's name important when he is not in the life of the child and has no responsibility?

Hi I wanted to share so many things. glad that i found this forum. I am a lonely single mom. My husband died last year due to illness and now i have to raise my only daughter alone. Relatives were there only for some days and now everybody is busy with his/her life. This forum has given me opportunity to share my feelings. Indeed raising a child alone is most difficult job. There's a lot of responsibility. how do you all manage?

yesterday, my daughter Sakshi came home sad and dejected.

she said that her friend was telling her a story about how her father and mother took her to the garden together. Sakshi was upset because her father and I never hang out or take her out together. We are separated and he has another family now. he comes in the morning to drop her to school and meets her and takes her out every sunday.

she was depresed because she doesnt have a family like her friends.

i just explained to her that every family is different.

what more can i say to make her feel better? what more should i do?

Hi am a single mother in Pune. Wanted to know if there are any single mom clubs where I cn meet other moms and give an opportunity for my kid to socialise.

Hi Anjali,

Have you tried befriending parents or single moms from your child's school? Those will be safe.. I havent heard of any such clubs or support groups in India..

[Barkha Ghose]

Hi @Sakshi's Mom - This is something that we have to deal with.. maybe you and your ex can take her out together once a month.. are you'll on decent terms? If not, I strongly recommend that you sit down with him and tell him that your daughter is thinking such depressing things.. and that you wish that you and him can be on better terms for the sake of your daughter..

Hey ,,
Hi Everyone,

I am also a single parent to a 7 year old girl and after looking out for quite some time to find a likeable group where I could share updates , get some much needed info on the day to day issues faced in raising my kids ,,, where I can discuss my insecurities and hurdles without being judged - ironically in india .. such a support group is still a dream and the ones exist are there for quite a different reason ..

As a result we got together with few like minded single parents and we have started a group of our own ... and for a difference we are many more females in the group then males ,, all of us are professionals and are aware of the line of respect which we all follow at all times.

Inviting you all to be a part of our family and get the awareness around. Please feel free to connect in for any query.

Ashima
