Single mother # Like lightning # Couldn't keep up # Suddenly became a stepmother
single mother.
Like a bolt of lightning I couldn't keep up # suddenlyBecame a stepmother
In the span of 20 years, all I had was memories and a lot of "why?" questions.
Why did he leave? What was wrong with me?
But if he chooses a new life with someone,
I won't take away that freedom anymore.
We have freed each other and become completely "free."
i've always believed in it.
No matter how long we've been together, love won't break.
But now I understand.
No matter how much you try, the moment the other person's heart leaves, everything will end.
If he really loved me, he would never have loved anyone else.
So I've stopped asking for answers.
I won't disturb you It's okay without a father
It is better to end the pain than to endure it for a long time.
I don't think it's a bad thing to believe.
But as a result of believing too much, I became a single mother without realizing it.
I didn't even look at my phone or question.
Because he believed that he loved us.
But five days later, he chose "that person" instead of us.
Leave your love for children behind.
Still, I don't stop.
No matter how betrayed I am, I will not fight or compete with anyone.
If love is real, there's no need to take it away.
Betrayal is always the result of choice.
If he's gonna leave my life, don't come back.
I'm okay.
Because I am both a mother and a father.
And once again, because I have the strength to stand up on my feet.

The reason why I started to look forward little by little,
It may be because I met people who had similar experiences at Yoitoki.
Just talking to someone who understands your broken heart,
Little by little, my heart became lighter.
If love fails, life is not over.
A new step can be started quietly but surely.

シングルマザーとしての道は決して平坦ではありません。私自身も過去に、パートナーの突然の離別に直面し、多くの「なぜ？」という問いと闘いました。愛する人が別の誰かを選び、家庭が一変する経験は本当に辛いものです。 そんな時、私が心の拠り所にしたのは同じ境遇の人たちとの交流でした。『ヨイトキ』のようなコミュニティで、似た経験を持つ人たちと話すことで、孤独から少しずつ解放され、心が軽くなるのを感じました。言葉にならない気持ちを共有できる場所があることは、大きな支えになります。 また、子どもと二人三脚で日々を過ごしながら、新しい出会いや自分自身の可能性を信じることも大切です。私もパツイチ子持ちのシングルマザーとして、新しい人生の楽しみ方を模索しています。携帯や問い詰めに囚われるのではなく、自分と子どもの幸せを第一に考えることで、強く生きる力を培っています。 シングルマザーならではの大変さはありますが、その分だけ新たな自由と再生のチャンスもあります。愛に失敗しても人生は続きます。ぜひ同じ境遇の方には、一歩踏み出す勇気を持ってほしいと思います。そして可能であれば、心の支えとなる繋がりを見つけてください。そうすることで、一人きりではないと感じられ、未来に向けた力が湧いてくるはずです。
