Are you a single mom? Is it by choice?
Were you forced to be one due some painful circumstances?: the death of a beloved husband, a divorce, a separation or is it as a result of a traumatic childhood experience?
Well, whatever your reason may be, this post is dedicated to you.
Mothers with supportive husbands still find the challenges of motherhood daunting, so i can only imagine how much more difficult it must be for you. I have friends who are single moms today not because they wanted or deserved it but because, somehow they found out the man they had married wasn’t their husbands after all. Some left because they could no longer stand an abusive marriage.
These ones i call brave because they made it out alive; many women have lost their lives trying desperately to make an abusive relationship work….God forbid. May this not happen to any more women!!!
These survivors of abusive marriages find themselves taking care of their children without the support of a husband and i duck my cap for them. I salute all you brave sisters!!. I can only imagine how hard it must be to be the mom, the dad, breadwinner, and for teenage children a friend and a confidant. I salute you all!!
I can only imagine how it feels to be pregnant with all it takes and not have the care and support of the father of your child. It must be very painful to feel abandoned by same man that made you feel that you were the best thing that happened to him, you feel betrayed. You may feel angry, disappointed, humiliated, frustrated, depressed you name it. Some women take their own lives.. God forbid!!
I can only imagine how it feels having to make all the decisions about pregnancy labor and child birth all alone, having to be the one to provide all you need without the support of your baby’s dad.
The absentee dad may provide you with some finance but it is never enough. God had planned that a child be brought up in a home with a man and a woman who love one another and love the child.
Mothers whose husbands are dead, i feel for you..I can only imagine it. You bear the loss of your soul mate and inherit all the responsibilities too. You become both mother and father..not easy at all. The pain must be unbearable; the memories, the shattered dreams and plans, the unfulfilled promises, having to do some of the things he used to do{the men’s duties}. Some inherited death benefits while some inherited liabilities. One thing is for sure, No amount of money or possession can take the place of your lost mate.
Even if you became a single mom after you had your kids or even after they are grown, it is still challenging. We shall talk about some of the common challenges and what help mothers can hope to get in order to help them cope as single parents.
THANK YOU FRIENDS FOR READING!!!…LOVE YOU ALL!!!
