Singled mother here, divorcing after 12 years together. I am SO NOT ENOUGH for my kids, but I'm the best they have. It's really terrifying to have this kind of responsability, but so worth it.

Hey momma, fellow single mother here. You ARE enough and don't tell yourself otherwise. No one will EVER love those kids and fight for them like you will. No one but YOU. Don't tell yourself that isn't enough. You ARE the best they have and that can be enough so long as you take care of yourself as well as you take care of them. The burden is heavy and there isn't any prize at the end but knowing you did the best you could for the humans you brought to earth. DM me if you need a pep talk. You can do it and I'm already proud of you. XO

I told youngluck this, but I'll say it again: as a kid raised by a single mom who never felt she was good enough, I know she was a human being trying her best, and that's all I could have asked for. Other kids had parents with more money and time for their kids, but I don't feel like I missed out on anything.
