You Are Not Alone

You are Not Alone - Complications Single Mother Face

Being a single mother is not easy. The fact behind this problem is not that survival is difficult but, people don't allow you to live. Their harsh comments and ridicule pinch you similar to piercing pin.Even if they try to live their life happily, they have to face hardships in the form of society’s criticism.

A mother tries to provide her child with all the materialistic as well as emotional benefits. She tries to keep her child away from the dark shadow of her failed relationship. Couples split generally due to differences in their priorities, goals and quite possibly, personalities. But this doesn’t mean, that this divorce should have negative effects only on the girl. Why is it so that only she has to face gossiping co-workers? Why are people afraid of talking behind a man over his failed relationship?

"A well-balanced child tends to be raised by at least one attentive parent or guardian who can mediate stress and not play the role of victim". And, if one is negative towards their partner it would soon be reflected in their child's behavior. Therefore, it is better to provide them with a positive environment.

Moreover, being a single mother, a woman has to handle it all alone; listening to everyone. She not only made it to every PTM and sports day but, also ensured that the child’s father did the same, even if that took some aggressive ultimatums and emotional blackmail – she did that!

She knows how to handle things and respond to all those eyes which every time looked at her with sympathy. She is fearless to every little problem she encounters. So is the power of a single mother. Indeed, she has an ocean of sorrows inside her heart but, from outside she appears to be ferocious like a tigress.

You are not alone, we are proud of you. And yes, it’s her decision and right to leave a relationship if she feels she is not respected anymore. Society needs to move on from being judgemental to being proud of her. She doesn't need your sympathy, all she needs is your support. Don't treat divorce as a taboo for women, instead, take it as her freedom. And this is from my side to all those single mothers, try to surround yourself whenever possible with emotionally kind and stable people who boost your confidence when you feel low.
