A common way for single parents to seek and receive help is over the Internet by conversing with other single parents in similar situations. There are various websites available, for support, information, and sharing the single parenting experience through offering discussion forums, blogs and professional advice to those parents who find themselves having a difficult time parenting alone. Many single parent communities offer chat boards for pregnant mothers and single parents through each stage of child development. http://www.SingleWithKids.co.uk, http://www.onlydads.org and http://www.onlymums.org are such websites and as well as the online support, they also provide mutual support through meet ups and breaks, proving to single parents that life really can continue after divorce or bereavement.
In the UK Gingerbread - the National charity for single parents - has a facebook page , a twitter account and a discussion forum for members
