Jim Daly: 我发现单亲父母的情绪非常敏感,就像神经末梢暴露在外,容易对外界刺激做出过度反应。特别是在节假日,孩子们可能会因为家庭结构的变化感到不适应,甚至觉得被排斥。离婚协议在这些时候也常常难以执行,因为情感和心理问题会持续存在,导致争端不断。因此,我们需要努力保持冷静,不参与由怨恨和报复驱动的恶性循环。 Pam Farrel: 我认为,单亲家庭可以通过制定家庭使命宣言和座右铭等积极方式,帮助家庭成员从消极情绪中走出来,建立新的家庭认同感。最重要的是,单亲妈妈要在家中保持一致性,无论外界发生什么,都要为孩子们提供一个稳定的环境。我相信上帝会成为孤儿的父亲,祂爱你的孩子,也爱你,祂会重建你,更新你,坚固你,你的今天不是你的永远,上帝对你有一个计划,一个未来和一个希望。同时,帮助其他单亲妈妈,你的生活会因此而丰富,上帝会祝福你。 Peggy Sue Wells: 我觉得单身只是一种关系状态,而母亲的身份永远不变。重要的是要向前看,不要总是回顾过去,抓住现在的机会,让上帝指引你前进。不要为过去无法改变的事情感到内疚,要信靠上帝,展望未来。在当下,要思考爱需要什么,活在爱中,并向前迈进。 Danny Huerta: 我建议单亲妈妈们不要害怕向朋友寻求帮助,教会和妇女事工通常会提供实际的帮助,包括经济、食品等方面。教会通常也提供低成本或免费的咨询服务,可以拨打咨询热线与咨询师交流。基督教咨询师网络也可以提供当地的资源信息,帮助单亲父母解决实际和紧急需求。单亲父母需要给自己留有余地,抽出时间陪伴孩子,并在困难时期引导他们。在人生的困难时期,依靠周围的资源,并祈求上帝的指引和祝福。
