Sympathy card? You must be watching Lifetime Channel. Really not a lot of sympathy for single moms out there. I was a single mom...I had to be the dad too and work a full time job. It was stressful, near poverty level and lonely. This is the majority.

Err... this chart is showing the increase of single parenthood for fathers. It is also clearly shown that single motherhood remains the vast majority. Maybe we don't want ONLY information about the sad majority and nothing else. It's not a competition who's the bigger victim. Instead you could be happy that more men will know what it's like to raise kids alone and maybe things will actually start to change, like more policies for benefits and availability of cheap birth control.
