First of all I want to start out by saying,

Wow ya’ll are queens!!

To all the single moms out there,

holding it down for your kids cause this shit is hard af.

I've only been at this for 4 months and my kids are pretty self sufficient.

I mean they don’t need me for every single thing they do, which is bittersweet.

I could not imagine if they were still babies, how much harder this would be.

I feel bad even complaining or saying that this is hard to be honest.

I mean other moms have it way harder than I do.

I’m not sure where I fit anymore.

I've gone from a wife and mother to just mother….. single mom?

I’m confused by the term “single mother” and honestly I think that's why I am having a hard time adjusting to this new life.

I guess I am a “single mother” but I don’t really feel like one.

Let me explain.

A single mom to me was always defined as a mom doing it ALL on her own financially and emotionally.

C always provides for our kids financially, so I feel like I don't deserve the title of single mother.

I mean I work too, but he handles his business always.

Working and running a household on your own can be overwhelming.

Especially on those days when you have a hard time even getting out of bed.

Those are the days when guilt hits the hardest.

Get up and put a goddamn smile on your face I tell myself!!

I feel like a whiner, why am I even sad when life could be so much worse??

Am I grieving? Am I depressed? What the hell is even happening?

Single mom?

Who me?

….. I’m not sure.
