Married Mom, Solo Parent: Finding God's Strength to Face the Challenge

Blurb

Who knew a married woman could feel like a single mom?

Bookstore shelves are full of parenting resources for single moms. But where do moms turn if they feel like a single parent--but they're not? Whether he is away on business, deployed in the military, or obsessing over a hobby, families face unique and difficult challenges when dad is unavailable. Moms who parent in these situations need help and don't necessarily relate to the advice given in divorce recovery or single parenting resources.

Married Mom, Solo Parent is a common-sense, down-to earth look at the struggles wives and mothers face when their husband is not actively involved in family life. Writing from her own experience as a "married solo mom", Carla Anne addresses tough questions such as:

• How do I overcome loneliness, insecurity, and anger?
• How do I raise kids to honor a father who's not around?
• How do I avoid emotionally checking out of my marriage?
• How do I find some time just for me?

With practical suggestions, anecdotes, and biblical teaching, this book encourages moms to see their position as a high calling, to find healing amidst their worries and frustrations, and to tap into God's strength for help in facing the daily challenge of being a married mom, solo parent.
