Can being a single mother harm your health?
We're all familiar with the disproportionately demanding lot of the single mother: in addition to the pressure of making all of the decisions (and accepting all of the blame when things go awry), she also shoulders the burden of being the sole financial support for a household, of driving back and forth between ballet classes and soccer practices, of making lunches and monitoring Internet access, and every other activity and form of support that parents are responsible for. It makes sense that being a single mother is more challenging and exhausting; but did you know that it can also affect a woman's long-term health?
