One of my soul sistahs sent this to me and I must say it was right on time and worthy to be shared. You see, for the past few weeks, I have been struggling mentally and emotionally with my position as a single mother.

Believe me when I say that this is a daily struggle, but lately, I have been feeling like a failure…and that because I am the only parental figure in my son’s life, I have failed him.

Instances like my son wanting a new video game or a new pair of shoes…and me not being able to provide that does a lot of mental damage to me and I am sure other single mothers as well. I know that if I was not a single parent, my son’s opportunities would be much greater.

It took a conversation with my mom to pull me out of this funk (for now…because like I said, this is a daily struggle). She let me know that I am not my son’s only “parental figure”. I have my sister/best friend, my parents, family…they all love my son and participate in his development.

She said, “the mind is a battlefield”. She urged me not to let negative thoughts consume me and trust that I am doing a great job.

To all the single moms out there: each day we get up and do what’s right by our children, we win the daily battle against this mental and emotional war. When you start to lose sight of your worth as a parent, look to your children. 9 times out of 10, they love you to death and as long as you are there to say “I love you” back, everything else is trivial.

For our children are the grand prize at the end of the day. – Via Meet The Fresh
