People often ask what is a single mother? Is she a woman with much strength and love or pain and fear? Maybe she's the devil in disguise or perhaps the angel beneath the pain.
Could she be a woman of much style and grace?
One thing is for certain; no one can understand what a single mother is unless they experience the feeling themselves. A single mother is a woman who is filled with everlasting, unconditional love, and words of wisdom to guide the way through life.
A single mother doesn't receive much credit today for the way she dedicates her life to working long hard hours and making time in her busy schedule to take care of what is hers. She goes through life trying so hard to do her best for her child, yet sometimes she feels as if the world is caving in, although one thing goes up, another one comes down.
For instance; she might get a raise at work but then the bills pile up. She has no financial support. She struggles to put food on her table and a roof over family's head. The only thing that keeps her family alive and well is her and her love.
People with traditional view always seem to say, " How dare she bear a child alone with no husband!" They don't understand the concept that life doesn't always turn out the way we planned. We don't always get what we want.
Being a single mom is one of the hardest things I've ever done, but one of the best things. It gives me a chance and a mindset to do things, I had no interest in before. It gives me more reason to live. I am the ONLY one for kids and that give me so many reasons to do good in my life and to excel.
If you are a good, loving single mother, give yourself a pat on the back because you will never get enough credit from others. Don't stress, because in the end you are doing the right thing for your baby. And do not get discouraged. No parent is perfect. Make mistakes and learn from them. And don't beat yourself up because there are enough people that do that for you!
