Abstract The journey of solo parenting, where one parent shoulders the primary responsibility of raising a child without a partner, is unique and challenging. This phenomenological study delves into the personal experiences of individuals who have embraced solo parenting, shedding light on their joys, struggles, and insights. Whether due to divorce, separation, the death of a partner, or personal choice, embarking on this path requires courage, resilience, and unwavering faith.

The study focuses on registered solo parents in Sta. Magdalena, examining their lived experiences, significant milestones, challenges, and the impact of solo parenting on their identity and self-esteem. By exploring these facets, we gain a deeper understanding of the multifaceted nature of solo parenting and its effects on both parents and children.

The research process involved meticulous data collection, literature review, and conceptualization. Participants were identified through purposive sampling, and their responses were analyzed to present comprehensive findings. Solo parents face unique challenges, from managing finances and emotional isolation to societal stigma. Accepting their role, securing stable employment, and prioritizing self-care mark significant milestones. Their identity evolves as they navigate parenthood alone, seeking support and building resilience.

This study contributes to understanding the complexities of solo parenting and offers practical insights for solo parents to thrive on their parenting journey.
