My mom was a single parent.

My mom, for all intents and purposes, was a single parent.

I grew up as the only child, and we did not have a large family. So for me and my mother, our friends tend to become our family.

I was alone a lot as a kid, because my parents were divorced.

I was raised by a single mother.

I grew up in a family of nine kids.

I was an only child, but then my parents resettled with different partners, and I am now one of six.

I was born to a single mom and raised by her and my grandparents.

I didn't have parents, so I lived in people's homes... And because I grew up with no parental role models, I learned to become my own friend, eventually my own father and my own mother.
