If you thought that being a parent was challenging before, just wait till you try to handle everything on your own for the first time. According to a study that was conducted and released in 2016–2017 by the Directorate of Employment, Labor, and Social Affairs of the United States Department of Labor, more than 9.5 million American families are fully governed by female members. In spite of the challenges they had to surmount throughout their lives, many of the children who were brought up by only one parent have gone on to achieve incredible levels of success in their chosen fields.

Each of them was able to accomplish exceptional achievements in life despite the fact that they spent their entire lives being raised by a single parent during their entire lives. In point of fact, Stephen Colbert’s mother raised all of her children on her own throughout their childhood. She had a total of eight children. Absolutely nothing at all like what one could expect at all.
