Good morning to this beautiful community, Mother's Day is approaching, a happy moment for every woman. It doesn't matter if you are not one from your womb, but in many cases you educate and raise a nephew or any other in the same way.
This possibility that life has given us is a very special condition, to be able to bring a human being into the world from your own entrails, makes us unique.
I come from a large family, where most of us are women, and this week's challenge made me review the family where some time ago, two generations ago, most of us were single mothers.
I will take the liberty to give you my opinion from the lived experience of being born and raised in a two-parent family and becoming a single mother.
When you already know that you have a little person in your belly, thousands of ideas and thoughts begin to flow about it, we want to know how it will be, we design it, we imagine from what color eyes it will have to see them already a professional, but together with that dream, we have the real life, where everyone begins to issue opinions.
They begin to tell you how important it is that he is born healthy, that he should be born with his father by his side, that education belongs to both of them, etc. Your belly grows and your head seems to explode. It is nice to take care and raise a child in a healthy and familiar environment, where both of you are present.
But it is still nice and healthy when you do it alone, sometimes it is healthier, because in many cases the presence of the father is tolerated only because he takes care of the child and cooperates in its growth and we do not realize that we forget our taste and love for that person and in the end our child is only present in a relationship of suffering and torment, which at first will not understand but over the years becomes our judge.
I raised my daughter alone, in the sense of being a single mother, but there is always a person who helps you in this transition of life, always speaking from the sentimental, I think being a single mother for me was the biggest challenge of life, it made me grow as a woman and professionally.
Being a mother is something that you are not taught, so you will always be wondering if you are doing it the right way, you will always have doubts if what you demand is fair or if it is correct, you will always be dissatisfied because you will believe that you could do better, but what you never doubt is the love you feel for your child.
When you are able to love him, to educate him under the rules of love and respect, under the essence of what is good in every way, that being will love you for the rest of your life without noticing the difference that he was raised only by you, always without speaking ill of the one who contributed to his arrival in the world but did not want to be present in his formation, thanking him even so, because your child did not choose him, you chose him, good, bad, or regular and if he does not do his part we would not be talking about this challenge today.
It doesn't matter if you are a single mother, just know that you are a mother and that you already have the responsibility to leave your footprints through life, so let's do it in the best way possible so that you, your child and society will be grateful for the heroic act of raising a child alone.
