Do you know of Single Parent Scholarships?
Hi Heather,
Here are a couple of articles that may be helpful to you:
Also, where do you live? When I did some research for those two articles, it seemed that some states have lots of programs, and others have very few. Let me know where you are, and I’ll pass along some additional information as I come across it.
Best Wishes,

I’m so confused.After 24 years of marriage,2kids(boys,14 and 8)I’ve discovered my husband of cheating for the 5th time.I’m a fool I know.Was trying to keep the family together.I’ve had it.I’m so afraid my 14 year old will lose it.He has seen his uncle divorce and the impact it had on them.Has said..”If you & dad divorced I couldn’t take it.What to do?
I’m so sorry! Most likely, your 14 year old will take some clues on how to handle this from your reaction. Do you have much of a support system? Try to vent your anger there and keep things as consistent as possible for your kids. As much as you want to, don’t badmouth their dad to them. It’s only makes it worse. For support, join us in the Single Parents Forum. It’s a great place to find encouragement and just vent when you need to. Again, I’m so sorry for what you’re going through right now.
Best,
Jen
