I am sorry to hear that, I have a friend whose husband is in jail now but he will be deported once they release him. She plans on goijng to his country to live with taking their son with her.

I don't think it is wrong or selfish of her. I had my first child at age 20 and was a single mom for 4 years. I always knew I wanted to become married eventually and have more children, but I also always said if I didn't get married by age 30, I would have another child as a single mother. I did get married, so that's no longer an issue, but I don't see a problem with women (or men) raising children as single parents, as long as they have the financial and emotional means to do so.

At to this day, career oriented woman don't want to get married but wants a child. They want it because she can support the child without the needs of husband. Most of the woman today is liberated and as they can do the responsibility of man or woman. She is not selfish and maybe that is her decision
