    It’s 2022 and it should be acceptable these days that there really are single-parent families. I grew up with a single mother myself and not having a father figure. But my mother is always present in everything. As long as there is love, constant presence, and you being Jaden’s moral compass, everything will go well, Gwen! 😊

      Maybe that's why you're advocating for it. Because you have no idea what a functional family is.
      80+% of convicted criminals are from a single-parent home. 70+% of homeless people are from a single-parent home. 85+% of low-wage workers are from a single-parent home.
      95+% of single parents are women. Why? Because they made bad, selfish, narcisistic decisions and now their child has to suffer.

      Love, constant presence and moral compass are too lofty thoughts; too lofty for the entitled, delusional, frivolous, social media validation seeking modern feminist woman. She spends more time on social media than with her family. She didnt last even 1 year in marriage....Jaden most likely will grow up with gender issues, end up in jail or become a sissy. Good going girl.
      More power to the modern woman!

    As a single dad who has been divorced for close to 3 years, I do not know what my young child is feeling or thinking about not having a ‘complete’ family. I always try to provide the best for him, what’s best for his interest, spending quality time with him whenever possible. Always assuring and reminding him that daddy and mummy are not together is never his fault. I may not be the best husband, but I still can be the best daddy to my son. Reach out to people whenever you need help, social workers/counsellors helped me a lot on how to better manage my situation. Take care and stay strong all single parents!

    As a child growing up in a seemingly “normal family” consisting of both parents and no one knows what went on behind closed doors, Gwen, i think you are brave enough to make the decision you are trying to make rather than staying on in a marriage which both parents do not get along. growing up since i was 5, my parents fought daily, sometimes one of my parents threatened to jump off the window by standing by the window while the other, banging head against the wall in shower or packing up clothes to leave but they stayed on till 2020 when my mum passed on and i wish my mum was brave enough to get a divorce at least my sibling and I could grow up in a different environment even if it meant single parent. my mum would maybe have been much happier rather than struggling all her life.

    From the perspective of a single parent child: I lost my dad not to divorce but to cancer several years ago. I think every single parent kid would sorely miss their mom/dad but having a solid support network helps the kid a great deal. I may not have had my dad for the past few years but I’ve been very fortunate to have several good father figures and older friends. The wound never goes away but having good people helps a lot. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help if you need it, and even if the kid is being a troublesome brat and difficult to control, at the end of the day they love their parent very much. Take care single parents

    You can do it, Gwen! Have faith and just keep doing your best for Jaden. My best friend of over 10 years is a single mother of two. I met her when her kids were only 6 and 3. They're now in their late teens and both are sweet, thoughtful, kind teenagers with the right values in them. It's all about the environment you put them in, and the kind of influence you allow around them as they grow up. And I'm sure in time to come, you'll meet the right man who will love you for who you are, and also accept and love Jaden as his own child. Don't fall in love with someone just because he can provide for both of you. Fall in love with someone who makes your heart flutter, who brings joy into your life, who accepts everything about you - your strengths and weaknesses, who supports you unconditionally, who's your personal cheerleader, and who understands what it means to date a single mother.

    Single parenting is very tough especially if u do not have family for emotional support. Not necessarily financial support. Life is tough to begin with. None of us wish for and thought that we will end up being a single parent one day during marriage. Life as such. Just have to bite the bullet and bulldoze our ways through somehow. That is the only way we as single parents have to fight everyday and learn to accept it’s part of our life. Stand strong for the kids because nobody can replace or take them away from our lives. Remember that we can only fight for our kids and ensure they have a healthy, prosperous life growing up.
    This message is specially for all single parents. Stay strong.

    If the child chose his father over the mother, shouldnt that be the best interest?

      @@skirak9109 Here also to add to discussion, not to start argument. I feel that when one decides to get married, it should be one of excitement and liking the person's character so much that one knows for sure 90% you can't find another one like him. What Gwen feels is ambivalence and one of "no choice", and that is a poor start to a marriage which will not have a happy ending. You are right of course when u say after long time, you will know a person's bad side and then love is a choice and an everyday effort, but that is AFTER you convince yourself that this person is 90% right and you like him/her as a person, you can share good and bad things with him, both can see each other through good times and bad.
      Although I also feel that for some people, staying in a marriage even if the person is not who you love is also quite possible (like what you say), that is, if they are not idealistic in love and if they are mature and have an intact marriage as their goal. These types of couples can also have a great marriage. But what Gwen and her partner seems to want is to have the universal experience of being in love and finding The One.

    Gwen is so brave in sharing her life struggles with everyone. Unpopular comment, but from this sharing, people should also be aware being a mum requires u to be self-sacrificial, all the more so if you are a single mum. All your decisions cannot be about yourself, but at the best interest of your child. At least until the child turn 18. So make sure u TAKE PRECAUTIONS if u are not ready to be a parent. That's an important message

    We impose difficult standards on ourselves, on what a spouse should be like, what a child's childhood should be like. While I understand it is a "norm" now, i've feel its a standard often TOO difficult for any couple, even regardless of wealth.
    e.g. it used to be a success if your child is still alive at 18 years old, now they must master python in primary school. *disclaimer - not that standards creeping higher is a bad thing*
    The standard has been increasing exponantially over the last 100 years with continous addition of layers with each generation without removing any.
    e.g. the way your parents were brought up versus you.
    I've an inkling the heavy cake has helped us personally to progress exceptionally. However we also continously police ourselves, peers, spouse, basically everyone against a continously rising standards. *this is a side effect of today's heavily connected world*
    e.g. Singapore is such a safe haven, its sometimes feels like we can make do without the police. Because if anyone does something wrong, they know and expect the rest of singapore to collectively throw fiery mala shaming rocks at them.
    While its wonderful that singapore and our personal growth is amazing due to our collective effort to police ourselves, I believe there is a need to really consider WHEN it starts to hurt us and cause us to bite our love ones. Would you be much happier with your spouse if things were alot simpler, since... you two are still human.
    I understand that you want the absolute best for your child, but is the absolute best NECESSARY. The absolute best for the child is out of love, but could have been tainted due the fear or society/family/yourself policing over you.
    Although it sounds like we could just blame society and yolo parenting, you may be too hard on yourself and your family. Our heightened capabilities from todays preassurized world allows us to forecast our futures, and we may nib the family at its bud over the fear of a POSSIBLE failed family in the future.

    Oh my god.
    alot of comments here a disgrace.
    Firstly, everyone has struggles in life. Sometimes you’re born into it, sometimes you are young and make mistakes.
    Life is unfair, we all know this.
    But the point is you move the fuck on when things are not working out.
    That’s life. What is there humiliate her about? We should be supportive.
    If the person in the video listened to a lot of the stupid judgemental comments here, it’s not helpful to them one bit.
    All these idiots are making judgemental comments because they want to feel righteous and better than people who “made mistakes”, because apparently they don’t. 😂
    Before you type nasty things that don’t help others, think about it for a split second. You sound bad and you’re projecting unto others that you’re judgy and have no empathy.
    Let people live, choose and do whatever they can to get out of tough situations, regardless of how they got there in the first place?
    I’m with Gwen, I’m a single (separated) mum with a 2 year old boy and I’m so glad I make the decision to leave. A lot of what the older single mum said is true. Every little decision you’ll make is for your child’s best interest. And the dad will always be a part of your life, because he’ll be apart of your kids life.
    Focus on you as much as you do your child. Happy mum is a happy child. Keep things as consistent as possible.
    Good luck to all in whatever struggles you’re overcoming! 😘

    as much as she's trying to make the best out of her situation, she's ultimately the selfish one. forcing a guy to be a dad at 20? keeping a child with a guy she barely knew after 3 months of dating? hot take: sometimes abortion is the better choice, even if it means putting all ur emotions aside and going through a potentially traumatising period-and this is coming from someone who has had a difficult abortion at the age of 20. if the guy was unwilling to keep the child from the start, chances are he's not going to stick around for long once the kid is born. If you think a baby is a magic patch that will "heal" the relationship and bring you closer together, you'll be in for a rude awakening.

    A single mom who is convinced that a father figure is not needed can not give good advice to a single mom. The most significant gift a parent can give to their kid is to show them how much they love their spouse, care for them, a strong family starts there. So unless a single mom learns to put = a sign between the kids and her spouse then there will never be a good foundation for a strong family. Kids need to learn the language of love, If they dont, they will repeat all this single broken family trend in their lives as well.

    When you willingly do the deed with a guy you only met for 3 months without protection and follow through with the pregnancy, this is what you get. Actions have consequences. Best wishes for the innocent child, but I have no sympathy for gwen.

    My sincere advice: Never marry again if you have kids from previous marriage. Never marry someone with kids from previous marriage. Never divorced when you have kid, is both parent responsibility that they need to suffer for the good of the kids. Kids are innocent why should they suffer for parents lousy decisions?
