[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ministry of Common Sense: [QB] I was 20 and unmarried when I became pregnant with my son in 1988 (in USA). My strict Irish-Catholic family promptly disowned me and still to this day has not spoken a word to me. I remember travelling for the first time to Egypt and Jordan a few years ago. I struck up a conversation with a houseguest of the family I was staying with. I mentioned I had a son and the woman asked me where my husband was. I told her I was not married and she lectured me for the next half hour about how inappropriate this was. I should have just told her I was divorced apparently that would have been more culturally acceptable - she would have just looked at me and felt pity. It's an interesting question really. It would be nice to think the attitudes are changing, but I think it's too much to hope for right now. This culture still considers a divorced woman taboo. I don't think it is ready to accept single parents. [/QB][/QUOTE]
