I swear thats what I was asking couple weeks ago myself. I have so much respect for single moms. I dont know how they do it. I've been in a bad place myself. But Ive had it and just want to continue without him. I wanna be happy for once and always be worrying about the future. But being a single mom scares the hell out off me.

☝☝ totally what @izzyd said. It's them that make me try harder everyday, when they see you and smile, it just makes everything else ok. No matter how tired I am I know they depend on me no matter what and it's not fair to them if I decide to slack a lil bit or be lazy because they did nothing to deserve that, they deserve the best and I'll be damned if they get anything less than that.

look into those little girls eyes. that's all I have to do. I promised my daughter she would never have to go through the struggles I did. and as her mother, id have to be dead to break that promise to her. single mothers have to sacrifice a lot but it's all worth it when your child gets older and you can pat yourself on the back and say "I did this all by myself"
