The word Single Mother seems still a bit taboo in this day and age. It's still looked down upon, but not all cases should be as such. There are many ways a woman can be a single mom. She can be widowed or divorced so it's not the typical out she got knocked up and the man abandoned her. Single motherhood can also be just a choice. No matter what the type though it seems we still get looked at with pity. Most might be oblivious to this fact, but I'm ever aware of it, though it can possibly be the stressed out mind of over thinking. Either way can't shake the feeling that they do and that makes me sad. I'm not some pitiful thing.
Yes though it is hard with some days better than most.
Yes there are days I wish to just run away.
Yes I wonder everyday if I'm doing right by my little boy.
Then I see he has grown an inch each day. I see him smile and play. I see him run to me giving me hug and kisses. At night as he falls to sleep I hear him whisper I love you mommy.
THAT is all I need to know I am doing the right thing.
This is a blog of the trials and tribulations of a single mom and the joys and woes of motherhood. Along with spirituality of the heart and soul.
For me, being a single mother was more of a choice that I didn't want to raise my son in an unhealthy enviornment where me and his father didn't get along. He is healthy and happy and that is all that matters.
