I love my life. And these boys. And the very close intimate relationship that we have that I quite frankly don’t think we would have in the same way if we were a “normal” nuclear family. This little family I have means the world to me. And I wake up with insane gratitude for it every single day. I really do.
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t hard. Being a single mom has been the hardest experience of my entire life. And I think it’s important to talk about because I know there are so many others going through these same exact feelings and completely lacking community and feeling alone.
The two can exist: you can be grateful for what you have while recognizing how extremely exhausting and hard it is at the same time.
To anyone else out there also doing alone, I hope this makes you feel less alone in some way. And I want you to know that I personally think you’re a super-hero and I bet your kids do too 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ hang in there!
