Dear all!

I have been reading up about Islam for the past few days now, although not as much as I'd like to (my job and my son take a great deal of time). However, I had this question that I was searching an answer for, and couldn't find. Let's say I were to become Muslim, would it be okay for me to live as a single parent with my job etc.? In my culture - Hinduism - single parents are absolutely abhorred, even if they are divorcees like me. One of my biggest attractions to Islam has been when my friend told me how Islam respects women, even if what I read in the Indian press is otherwise. Do you guys have to say anything about this? Thanks!
