Single mothers.

Dear single mothers who are doing it all on their own without anyone's help. I look up to you. You were the reason I decided to keep my baby after getting pregnant by the one who abused of me in the worst way. Because I read so many stories of other single moms I decided I'd be one too and that I'd keep my baby regardless of how it came to this world and show him one day to be a good man and never force any women to have sex just because he wants her. I've done it all completely on my own since the birth of my son. No one has ever really offer to help me and I've been ok with that. I never knew I'd be capable of doing it 24/7 on my own until now. I've had like 3 breakdowns in a whole year but never have I regretted my decision of having my baby. So many were against me having it because they told me I would be bringing a child of a bad man to this world and that he didn't deserve something good to happen to him. I didn't care I had my baby and it was love at first sight. I hated his biological father for hurting me in such way and scarring me for life but after seeing my son I asked god to bless him. I thought if I hate this man I hate my son and I don't. His family knows of my baby's existence and never once have they cared about him. But I'm such a selfish person that, that didn't hurt me in any way. I've never had so much love and happiness in my life. It has been a hard journey because I've done it completely on my own. But it has been the best. I've had the amazing opportunity to be there for my baby and watch every little new thing he learns and he shows me new things. I have to say I was afraid of being looked down for being a "single mom" for being alone with my son all the time. I was afraid of many things but it's been over a year and I have to say I wouldn't want it any other way. I see women being so unhappy and abused day by day just because they rather have a title and not be a single parent just because they're afraid of what others will say or because they're afraid of not being capable of doing it on their own. And I'm here to tell you, nothing in life is impossible or easy. Ok. Don't be afraid. Live life. And for those wondering if they should stay in a relationship or not, if you're asking yourself that question then you have already made a decision for yourself. Leave. Raise your baby or babies on your own. Be happy. You can do it. God is with you and I'm sure there are people who love you and will support your decisions. And for those who already are single mothers, you're amazing and your children are proud of you if they're very little they will be one day. 💕
