The present study aimed to explain the structure of parenting stress of single mothers with adolescent children. To achieve this goal, four single mothers living in B city were chosen and interviewed. Using Giorgi method, a methodology of phenomenological study, 397 semantic units were derived and divided into 19 subcomponents, then finally classified into 7 categories. The results indicated that the rearing stress was aggravated by the following factors: economic distress, burdens from earning life, running the household at the same time, prejudicial views on single parents, and children’s developmental conflicts associated with single parent family. However, it is important to note that mothers reported having children allowed them to be able to see their life from a different perspective and ultimately contribute to one’s transcendence to better life.
