The teenage years are the reason some mammals eat their young. As has been previously stated (supra), single parenthood throws complications into the mix, and as Cluin said, by adult standards, teenagers are insane. That is true BTW. The study was complete and the results released nation-wide in Canada. I have taught teenagers for years, and that particular news release came as no surprise to me. "A child with no boundaries has no security." Another truth.

The advice to seek out other single parents is very good. DO that! One of the things you may need at this point is to feel you are not alone with this particular realization. You are brave to state that it's getting to the stage where you need help. Seek it, ASAP. Depending on where you live, there are community support groups available, and they are worth looking for.
