Emotional and physical stress: Parenthood is a physically and emotionally demanding activity. Without a partner, a parent must be prepared to take full responsibility for caring for a child, and this includes both physical care and emotional support.

Distribution of duties: In a family with two parents, tasks can be divided among themselves. One can do work, and the other household chores or taking care of a child. When one of the parents is absent, all responsibilities fall on one person.

Lack of support and rest: It's okay to ask friends, family, or hire a babysitter for help, but many single parents feel embarrassed about it. However, it is important to understand that you also need time for yourself to recharge and maintain emotional balance.

Financial difficulties: Loneliness can also take a toll on finances. Income alone may not be enough to meet all the needs of the child and family. Budget planning and organization of financial resources become even more important tasks.

Psychological condition: Single parents are at greater risk of stress, depression and feelings of isolation. It is important not to forget about your psychological health and seek help from specialists if necessary.

To make this journey easier, it is important to remember the following:

Ask for help: Feel free to ask friends, family, or professionals for help.
Organize time for yourself: Find time for relaxation and activities that bring you pleasure.
Plan your finances: Create a budget and manage your finances to ensure a decent quality of life for you and your child.
Maintain a network: Connecting with other parents, participating in parent groups and events can help break the feeling of isolation.
Remember that you are a true hero with an incredible task. Remember the unique moments of joy and love that your child brings to you. Self-parenting, while challenging, can also be an extremely rewarding experience.
