It's very lonely bringing up a child on your own.
It's a different experience to be with your kids when your spouse isn't around.
I never worried about raising a kid on my own.
It is very tough to bring up a child on your own.
No one chooses to raise children alone.
I don't think you necessarily have to be part of a traditional nuclear family to be a good mother.
Having a baby on my own is a dream come true, but in my world, there's no sheepish spouse on his way home from a work trip to offer me a stretch of alone time.
I would never say out loud that I am raising my children alone, but a lot of the time it has felt like that.
But I was the most unashamed lone parent you were ever going to meet.
