Single Mom… Again. And It’s Scary Every time.

Becoming a Single Mom… Again. And It’s Scary Every Time.

I became a single mom when my oldest was 1.5, and I was pregnant with my second baby girl. I thought I had everything together—my own place, my independence. Then, I let the wrong man in. He was abusive, and I became another victim. I moved back in with my parents, terrified and broken.

But on my birthday, a message from a man turned into daily conversations. We built something for 2.5 years, but boundaries were never respected—with his baby mama, his family—it wore us down. And now, here I am again… a single mom.

This time, with 3 kids, no solid income after TikTok Shop’s ban, and trying to figure out our next steps. I’ve done everything to create a side hustle, to provide, but it’s been rough.

Becoming a single mom is scary every single time.

I need advice. I need support. I need my people.

Because this? It’s hard, but I know I’m not alone.

If you’ve been here—drop your advice, encouragement, or just a heart. Let’s build each other up.

Becoming a single mom can be one of the toughest challenges faced by many women. It often entails navigating emotional complexities, financial instability, and the responsibilities of raising children alone. Support networks play a crucial role in easing the burden—whether it's family, friends, or community groups—having a tribe can make a significant difference. There are numerous resources available for single mothers, such as local support groups and online forums where experiences are shared. Building a side hustle can also provide much-needed supplemental income, and many women have succeeded by turning their passions into profits. Whether through blogging, crafting, or consulting, creativity in income generation is essential. It's important to embrace this journey, seek help when needed, and realize that countless women have walked similar paths, offering solidarity and strength. Remember that growth often comes from our most challenging times.
