The topic of this thesis was Single parenting: experiences of divorced mothers. At the very beginning, a theoretical framework was developed to instruct readers on the topic of single parenting, and how it arises. In this paper, we have dealt with one type of single-parent families, and that is those who have become such by divorce. In the following text, there is a methodological part that includes the subject of the research, its goals, the participants who approached the research, and the process of conducting the research. To conduct the research, a qualitative methodology was used, that is, the method of semi-structured interview, which was approached by ten interviewees who are single mothers. The interviews were conducted from February to the end of July 2021. The conversations are presented in the form of transcripts and can be found in the appendix chapter. Certain answers that were important in order to answer the research questions were singled out and analyzed in more detail in the part of interpretation of the results. Just as some of the authors, who gave us the starting point for writing the theoretical part of this paper, state that it is women who will emphasize divorce sooner, so the results of this research have shown. That divorce affects every member of the family was also confirmed by this research, which shows the answers to the question of behavior change in children. From the interviews we see how a certain part of society still looks at single divorced mothers as a marginal group in society. It also shows us how divorce affects the lives of individuals, and changes relationships within the family.
