It is quite possible to be a strong, Black woman, raise your own children, and have male role models in your children's life who are not necessarily your King. While the ultimate situation would be to have two WHOLE parents raising the children, sometimes that is not possible. For me personally, I plan to adopt, with, or without a Husband. A "strong, good" Man ENHANCES a family situation, but a family situation could still be loving and functional w/o a full-time father presence. It is just important to make sure that the children are provided positive male role models outside the home in those scenarioes.
