The author, who never envisioned herself as a single mother due to her upbringing, reflects on her journey after leaving an unhealthy relationship when her daughter was six months old. Despite the challenges of financial strain and emotional trauma, she ultimately finds empowerment in single parenting. Embracing her autonomy, she appreciates the ability to make independent decisions about her daughter's upbringing without conflicting opinions. This shift has led her to view single motherhood as a positive change, allowing her to concentrate fully on her child.
I often hear other moms vent about how their partners approach certain parenting situations completely differently from how they would. Maybe one parent leans more toward gentle parenting while the other prefers another style. Perhaps they have different timelines in mind for weaning, or different priorities.
I get to make parenting decisions by myself and can focus all my energy on my daughter.
