I don't keep it a secret that I'm a solo mom, on the other hand, I wear it proud like a badge. Those mothers who fortunately (or unfortunately) have husbands know the challenging world of motherhood - now double that and you would have an idea of the hardships, sacrifices and tough juggling acts that single moms like me take on a day-to-day basis. But I can also bask alone on the credit for raising my kid without her father.
This may sound cliche but to all the single moms out there, let me tell you I know exactly how you feel right now. I've been there and I've also weaved too many a scene on how to get back at my ex. Yes, I've also cried tears of pain, shame, regret and fear. The anger inside me was too deep that if words can kill, I will be spending 10 life sentences in solitary confinement.
I came across this article by
Ana Santos and it hit home. Her no-nonsense survival tips on single motherhood made me laugh and because I know this will be a big help and will encourage a growing number of brave and beautiful solo moms out there, I'm reposting it here.
