My journey of being a single mom for 13 years was never easy yet my life was peaceful and happy. I can say that being alone is better than being with someone that only causes you stress. Anyway, I am already married for 3 years now. Unhappily married. I want to share my life when I was still a single mom.
Looking back on the years I was raising my daughter alone was filled with happiness and contentment in life. Raising a kid alone is not easy yet for me it is more peaceful. My daughter was with me when I started working at the computer shop. She was around 5 years old at that time. Being a working mom was never easy but I have to multitask. My daughter was with me from the time I open the computer shop until closing time. Before my work schedule was 10 am to 10 pm. She usually falls asleep before we go home. We had to walk around 10 mins going home. There was a time that she don't want to get up so I had to carry her going home.
At every single event in their school, I am always there to support her. I am always happy to see her happy. Even if I had to work hard but I need to spend time with my daughter, especially in their school activities.
I know as she grows up she will then realize that something is missing in her. She never got the chance to meet her biological father in person.
She is now 15 years old. A teenager.
I am honestly sad that I never get a husband who can be his father figure coz I married a person who is still immature. My daughter never felt like having a father even after I got married.
I know it's my fault for not choosing the right person not only for me but for the sake of my daughter.
So for now I am just like a single mom coz I still bring my son(my kid with my husband) to work. I am just the one who shoulders the school expenses of my daughter. It is more like having a husband by just the name husband, not by obligation.
Ending thoughts
Life is full of trials and challenges and I am thankful that God never left me alone. He was always there to guide me and God never stop reminding me that everything happens for a reason.
