This is a cynical attempt by the government to penalise and behave in a prejudicial way against single parents. We have established a Facebook 'campaign against Tory child maintenance proposals' and I hope that the readers of this blog will join us in making our voices heard.

It helps to find online moral support from others in a similar situation who understand the problems of being a single parent and the added burden of how the public sees them.

I thank God that a friend of mine introduced me to Gingerbread. The help and support I received was fantastic. . Six years on, I managed to sort out my debts, I still have the house, and my self esteem is at an all time high. I work full time as an online tutor which means I can do the school run and still take my children to their various activities. I run part time business, and I set up a support group to help other parents with the help of Gingerbread. I also set up a project called confident children, where we run half term and holiday activities for children. Parents make a donation and we get some funding to do this. So once again thanks Gingerbread I became a single parent 6 years ago and at the same time I became redundant, my house was going to be reposed, I had a lot of debts and my self esteem was at an all time low.
