As a single mum, it’s always really hard doing everything alone. Especially when the father of the child is not in the picture.
you are the provider, the carer, the everything for your child. I was so much into child care that I totally neglected myself. I’d dress my baby up in really beautiful outfits and dress up looking like a maid. I didn’t make my hair or buy myself new clothes because I always put my baby’s needs before mine. I didn’t want to feel like selfish, “she’s more important “, I always said to myself.
one day, I decided that I was going to relocate and leave her behind with my parents, just for a short while. I needed time for myself, I needed time to work, I needed space to find myself again, I needed to spend on myself without feeling guilty. (I still send some money home for upkeep) but I just wanted to take back the reigns of my life.
now that I have and the baby girl in me is finally back, I’m ready to move her so we can be together. It’s been really tough being away from her but I had to do what I had to do and I’m glad I did.

You are a very amazing mum. Motherhood comes with so much sacrifices and being a single mum is on another level. Weldone

Been a single mother is not an easy thing at all
I think it's important to also look after one's self while caring for your little one. Leaving your baby at the time was just so you could work on being a better mother for and to her. You are doing well, sis. Hugss...
The one thing I know about motherhood is that caring for yourself is as important as caring for your child. Sometimes, you require the time for yourself to get revived and then go again. Well done mama?
Thank you for sharing. May God bless and strengthen all the single moms.
