I know pleanty of single moms who have done good job raising kids under very difficult circumstances. I'm sure your mom was in a similar situation. The judgement I was making was not on single moms, but on single women who decide they want to go to a sperm bank because they think it'd be neat to have a kid. In my view they owe it to the child to at least have it start out life with a mother and a father. Nobody I know is suggesting that living with an abusive father is preferable to being raised by a single mom, certainly not me.
