Sadly, it’s quite usual these days to find a single mother with a large family. After a divorce, children frequently remain in the care of their mother, therefore it is lucky if they are mentioned by their biological father even once every six months. Being a single mother used to be somewhat ashamed, as there was a heavy emphasis on the family in society and divorces, even for good reasons, were looked upon.
In addition, it was widely accepted that “a child needs a father,” thus women made every effort to remarry. It’s simpler now since no one looks down on anyone and there are steadily more single women raising children in our nation.
A single parent in our society, particularly one with several kids like Juan, 36, who became one five years ago, is a foreign concept. Typically, males in this category are widowers, but that is not the case in this instance. In Juan’s family, a well-known and rather clichéd situation occurred: his wife, after 13 years of marriage, left him because she fell in love with someone else.
She did, however, abandon all of their shared children with her ex-husband, which was extremely unusual. There were seven of them in total. They had been friends since they were students, so there were no symptoms of difficulty. When she was 22 and he was 23, they got married. The couple was resolved to work after the birth of her first kid and had no intention of having a large family. They had one child at first, then another after a year, a third after two years, and so on. She had already given birth to seven children by the time she was 35 years old. She was left to do all household duties because she didn’t work. tended to the kids all through those years. The family didn’t live in extreme poverty, but they did live simply.
But at age 35, she abruptly issued a demand for a divorce. The cause? It turns out that an old acquaintance from her school days had begun a covert relationship with another while she was busy working and balancing the children and the household.
