10 years into having my first child reality just really hit me. I am doing this all on my own. This realization wasn't without a crying fit. I am physically and emotionally tired. Every necessity provided, all of my guidance, my sacrifice, and well intentions are often questioned and scrutinized. Meanwhile the absent parent is praised for the few novelty things that they do.
I just moved into a new place and instead of enjoying my move I am incredibly stressed.
I love my kids, but without the proper support I am tired.
I know that I am not the only one who feels this way. Please feel free to vent your single mother frustrations here.
Stay tuned for my next post to see one of my many steps to relieve my frustrations. And remember don't ever feel guilty for doing what you need to do to provide for your children and to ease the stress of motherhood.
