Single parenting

U ovom radu cilj je dobiti uvid u preraspodjelu odgovornosti između majki i očeva nakon odluke o odvojenom životu ili smrti jednog od partnera. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 70 ispitanika, od toga 68 ispitanika ženskog spola te dva pripadnika muškog spola, a prosječna starost je između 30 i 35 godina. Gotovo svi ispitanici stupili su u spolni odnos prije braka, a u bračnoj zajednici rođena je tek polovina djece. U ovom radu najčešći razlog razdvajanja obitelji bila je odluka o razvodu bračnih partnera iz višestrukih razloga (psihičko i fizičko nasilje u obitelji, njegova/njezina nova veza s drugom osobom, loši među-obiteljski odnosi), pri čemu u gotovo svim slučajevima djeca pripadaju majci na skrb, dok očevi imaju pravo ostvarivanja susreta s djetetom te su dužni plaćati alimentaciju. Period razdvajanja obitelji nedvojbeno je težak i naporan za sve članove obitelji. Stoga, važan je kvalitetan rad nadležnih institucija pri radu s rastavljenim obiteljima te pastoralna skrb o istima. Najveću odgovornost preuzimaju sami roditelji koji odlučuju na koji će način prihvatiti novonastalu situaciju te kako će razvod utjecati na njihovo zajedničko dijete.In this paper, the aim is to gain in sight in to the redistribution of responsibilities between mothers and fathers after the decision to separate or death of one of the parents. The study involved 70 subjects, of which 68 were female and two were male, and the average age was between 30 and 35 years. Almost all respondents had sexual intercourse before marriage, and only half of the children were born in maritalunion. In this paper, the most common reason for family separation was the decision to divorce for multiple reasons (psychological and physical violence in the family, his/her new relationship with an other person, poor inter-family relations), with children being given to the mother in almost all cases, while fathers have the right to meet with the child and are obliged to payalimony. The period of family separation is undoubtedly difficult and exhausting for all family members. Therefore, the quality work of the competent institutions in working with separated families is important, as well as pastoral care for them. The greatest responsibility is taken by the parents themselves, who decide how to acceptt he new situation and how the divorce will affect their child
