This is about sending the message that balancing the budget on the back of the most vulnerable is simply immoral—and the need for that message has never been greater. The Complete Single Mother"The ultimate go-to guide for single mothers!" - Ann Douglas, author, The Mother of All Pregnancy Books
"The Complete Single Mother is the definitive guide to life for solo moms." -Ariel Gore, editor/publisher, Hip Mama "This is the most helpful, empowering resource single moms have looked to for over a decade." -Sheila Ellison, author, The Courage to be a Single Mother and founder of SingleMomsConnect.com From earlier editions of The Complete Single Mother: "This handbook for single mothers offers practical advice on meeting the challenges of parenting without partners. In part 1, Engber and Klungness look at the various ways women become single mothers--through divorce, widowhood, adoption, donor insemination, or pregnancy outside marriage--and the special demands of each situation. In part 2, the authors focus on how single moms can handle pregnancy and birth, maintaining a household and maintaining their self-esteem alone, and in part 3, they talk about the day-to-day difficulties of 'raising terrific kids.' They address in part 4 relations outside the family unit." - Booklist "Provides a world of support for women who often feel alone."-American Baby magazine. At Last, a Comprehensive and Practical Guide for the Single Parent! "Filled with expert information and pragmatic advice, The Complete Single Mother explains what nearly eleven million single mothers need to know to overcome the challenges of daily life with dignity, wisdom, and courage. This book will answer all the questions you may have about single motherhood but were either too busy or too afraid to ask - questions concerning custody issues, managing your finances, dealing with an irresponsible ex, handling work pressures collecting child support, and more."- From the publisher "With more than nine million American women raising children alone by choice or out of necessity, it is surprising that most books on pregnancy and parenting still assume that the two-parent family is the norm. Written by single mothers...offers useful, practical advice for women raising children alone. Includes information on medical care, financial management, legal matters, career planning, social life, support networks, and dealing with family members. Engber and Klungness, writing in the tone of self-help books, cover pregnancy and the baby's first year but place more emphasis on the mother's self-esteem and other psychosocial issues. They also include child-development and parenting information about older children as well as a bibliography and resource list. Comprehensive. Highly recommended for all parenting collections."- Library Journal 5 star rating from Barne's and Noble' readers: "Great resource for Single Moms. I was given this book when I found out I was having a baby alone. It has great sections on everything a single mom needs to know. I have enjoyed the information and would recommend it to ALL Single Moms." -a Single Mom & Proud of it, April 25, 2000, | |||

Hey! I hope someone responded to you or you got some words of support! IT GETS BETTER! and then it gets worse, then better, etc. Don't doubt your mothering... women everywhere do this and you can do it! Think of women in war zones, third world countries... you have better resources at least. You can do it and you are doing it! Just focus on fitting in some time to hold your baby, maybe co-sleep? I hope you are feeling better!
