Hi. I saw your post on Discord and glad I stopped by to read. What a fine post! As you stated, all moms are badass but the single moms are simply super! I know our kids give us the motivation and power to go through the every day activities like cleaning up another accident or preparing that new lunch or dinner dish that they refuse to even touch. I admire all moms especially the single ones. I have a supportive partner but even still, my energy is frayed by the end of the night.

You are right about the unfair stigmatization of being a single mom. My cousin once dated someone who could never get over the fact she had a son, who was the same age as his sibling. Needless to say, they separated and she found someone now who accepts her fully. Never settle for less. As a mom, my children are my first and foremost. No one has any right to judge anyone else for parenting. If the child is unkept and malnourished then the mom needs a lot more help from others. Lend a hand. We should never look at anyone with judgment or pity in our eyes.

I will stop @wildempress’s blog next. Thanks for highlighting her. Her photography work is awesome.
