Abstract
ABSTRACT Being one of the quintessential resources to bounce back from adversities, the complexities of social support in the context of transitions to single parenthood are seldom fully grasped. While many studies are limited by (quantitative) data on type and intensity of support received, in-depth qualitative data facilitates an understanding of the hurdles in the support exchange. In this study, we describe six hurdles single parents have to overcome and four perspectives single parents have of these hurdles. These results are based on a grounded theory study using 244 semistructured interviews with Flemish lone parents.
