Single Mothers. Its been turned into the newest, hottest, most acceptable “fad”. Here’s the truth, I became a mother ON my 18th birthday. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing, I was scared, alone, and pretending to be fine. I wasn’t. I’m not. Being a single mother isn’t “cool”, it’s not something to be proud of, it’s not what we as little girls dream of becoming….but it happens. People leave, people choose to walk away from their spouse, from their children, from responsibilities. We are alone 98% of the time with people either trying to make us feel better or worse. I’m scared every day that I’m making the wrong choices, not just for me but for these little humans I created. I don’t ever want to let them down, but I know I have, and I probably will again. And you know what? That’s okay! As long as when we fall we get back up, I may not have dreamed of being a single mom, however, I am damn Proud of those 3 little souls who make me better than I was the day before. I wish I had a partner there to help me tuck them in, to hold them when they cry, or are hurt, or are sick. I don’t, and sometimes I break. Not just for them, but for me. Some days I don’t know how to be strong, but I never, ever stop trying. Maybe I watched too much Disney growing up, but this isn’t the life I would want, this isn’t the life I want for them either. It’s the one we have though, and I’m going to make damn sure to make the most of it, and pray that when they are old enough to have families of their own, that they find people who will stay. Because being a parent is hard enough as it is, without going it alone. Either way, I will always love them. I will always be proud of them. And I will always be THERE for them.

Absolutely right I couldn't agree more
Of course it is hard to be a single parent. Some people aren't made to stick around. If there is one thing you actually should be is PROUD. Proud that you have the strength to try, the ability to overcome those dificulties. Even though some days are tougher than others, if you try your best and dont give up then you are the best.
There are not alot of people who would decide to be single parents. Unfortunatly in this world there would be at least a handful out of a thousand who would put their kids up for adoption or just simply not care. Thus the kids would have to grow up on their own with no parental figure.
If you are a single parent then be proud. Proud to say that what you have achieved, overcome and went through was worth it.
