If so, what is the process? Next, can the friend over 18 years be held accountable for the teen in a court of law in Ontario Canada once he/she assumes guardianship? Please note, this is NOT about legal guardianship. The single parent simply does not want to be involved or share any responsibility.

I grew up with a single mom who struggled financially. She was depressed, defeated, and very negative towards men. Thus, I became fiercely independent and mistrusting of men. I also focused on earning a great salary since I did not want to end up like her. Did anyone else encounter this or other emotions having a missing parent?

I just dont know how to do it. I am only going for 11 months and it costs ,000 so its not like I am trying to get a lot of money like if i was going to a big college.

Is a single parent just an unmarried person with children? Is someone a single parent when they are divorced, and if they are, then what is the other parent? Or are they both single parents? What if you have a live in boyfriend/girlfriend, especially if that person is the child’s father? Are you a single parent even if the other parent is very involved in the child’s life? Just curious as to how others define a single parent, or what comes to mind when you hear the term.

I currently work in an busy ER three days a week, 12hr nights and study time is very unpredictable and scarce. While this job in an Er is FT does not occupy all my time I would like to find an additional job where I might be allowed to study. I do not care how much it pays.
