HOW HARD IT IS TO SURVIVE AS A SINGLE MOTHER
Being a single mother is one of the toughest jobs on earth and it comes with no days off.
Imagine waking up every day knowing that everything depends on you. Rent. School fees. Food. Medical bills. Emotional support. Discipline. Love. Strength. You are the provider, the protector, the nurturer, and the comforter all in one body.
Many single mothers carry silent battles. They smile in public but cry in private. They skip meals so their children can eat.
They wear strength like armor, even when they are exhausted and overwhelmed. Society often judges them harshly, yet rarely offers real support.
The emotional toll is heavy. Loneliness. Fear of the future. The pressure of not failing. And still, they wake up and try again because giving up is not an option when little lives depend on you.
Single mothers are not weak.
They are resilient. They are brave.
They are heroes raising heroes.
Instead of judging, let’s support.
Instead of criticizing, let’s encourage.
Instead of turning away, let’s show compassion. If you know a single mother, check on her.
If you are raised by one, honor her.
If you are one know this: you are seen, you are valued, and you are doing an incredible job. KDG
