Single Mothers Raising Sons

Dr. Bobbie Reed, a single mother and practicing psychologist, responds to questions most asked by single mothers: Will my son develop homosexual tendencies without a male role model in the home?, Why does he constantly reject my set of values?, How can I calm his fears that I won't leave him too?, Can I really be an effective disciplinarian?, Is it wise to look to my son as the "man of the house"?, He wants to live with his father--should I let him go?, How can I manage my jealousy of his stepmother?, I'd like to start dating again--how will my son react?, and How can I encourage him to be more independent?
