Shout out to the working moms!!

I was a single a mom and I'm building an empire in the corporate world. I went from homeless to home owner in 7 years.

My ex was a cheating asshole with a temper. I left him in 2010 but couldn't break away fully due to finances until 2012 - we have two kids together.

Now I make enough where I don't need his child support and I've put a stop to it. I make twice his salary and the kids live with me 75% of the time. I told him to use the money he would be paying to take them on vacation next year. He does still help with 50% of medical bills but that's all I ask. I'm in control now. Not him. I don't need him for anything. Damn. Thing.

I am remarried and went from 17.50 an HR in 2012 to 103.5k a year (plus bonus). I just needed a strong man to support me emotionally and that's what my husband does.

I always knew I was smart. I always knew I was capable but being in a toxic relationship held me back for ten. Long. Years.

As soon as I fully broke away, my life has just soared. I'm remarried and I work while my husband stays at home. My life is what I imagined. I was holding myself back by letting someone else put me down and make me think I couldn't do anything.

Ladies. I read so many posts on here where men are saying controlling things, acting bad, and we as women shouldn't tolerate it. Don't hold yourself back. Live to your full potential. You have it in you. Wear that confidence - it looks good on you.

I believe in you. I know you can do it.

Love you mommas 😘
