Background: Single parents strive to fulfill the fundamental needs of their children despite obstacles and limitations caused by marital and external issues. The pandemic increased the difficulty to meet these responsibilities, especially the parents' ability to assist in online learning. Method: This is a qualitative study that uses the phenomenological research design to gain an understanding of each participant's experiences. A semi-structured interview was held with the ten participants to gather the data. After transcribing, the data is analyzed and coded to be able to pull out specific themes for the simulacrum. The study aims to answer the central question: "How do annulled single parents describe their lived experiences in online learning?" Findings: The results entail that the given circumstances affect single parents in several aspects which are classified into three themes: Insufficiencies of Annulled Single Parenting, Compromised Aspects of Annulled Single Parenting, and Coping Mechanisms of Annulled Single Parenting. Conclusion: The study concludes that single parents are still independent despite the challenges they faced in online learning. Recommendations: The researchers recommend that future studies around the same topic gather responses from a more diverse sample size for improved data dependability and a more detailed comparison between participants' lived experiences.
