I’ve been there. You’ll find a way to muster through it all. I had twins and the first two years were almost a blur because it was survival mode. Love your child & just be the best version of you. It is so hard and sometimes it takes a bit to see where the reward in all your stress is. But know that you’re amazing & your sweet baby is lucky to have you. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from family or friends if they’re willing. Even if it’s simply to take a nap.

Also, don’t ever take bad about their biological father. He may be the biggest loser but still. My kids are now 12 years old. I’ve always just simply said in a calm manner “Some people are just not ready to be parents. But you are so loved. I work so hard for you and I’m so happy that you’re here. You are my world.” Or something to that effect. I’ve just seen this go wrong many times when they actually meet the “father” or sperm donor as I refer to mine, and they spew these lies that the child believes. It makes it look like the mom is the one who was preventing the relationship from happening. By staying neutral, I never spoke bad but I never spoke good, you’re not putting yourself in that position. Besides, a child is not the person to air grievances to. As much as we hate it, for a little point in time there’s a part that is missing and they truly wonder why they’re not there and why they left.

They’ll overcome this because you will be the best mom in the world to your child. Best of luck! You’re going to rock this single mommy thing! 💕
