It is not clear what prompted the mum to pen down her thoughts and story, but she tells of personal struggles that are quite relatable with stories that other single mums have shared at one time or another.
Read her post below:
“I am a single mum not because i was promiscuous, not because I had many men, not because i was immoral.
But because i trusted the wrong man with my heart,gave myself out to the wrong man who took advantage of my simple naive and pure love.the man promised heaven but led me the hell way.
Am a single mum bcos I was brave enough to go the way alone, endure ridicule and hatred alone, get misjudged alone.i endured all emotions of rejection alone, i endured all difficulties of pregnancy and embraced motherhood alone and emerged as a strong woman all alone.
I protected my child all alone and endured all innocent questions that would stab my heart alone, “Mummy, where is my dad?”.
The single mums deserves respect and congratulations for enduring to the end all alone as the dead beat went on with life as if we do not exist.
Sometimes I do cry,sometimes I feel wretched,I feel weak and lost but she I look at my child and remember “I must remain strong, composed, courageous and focused since that child has no one else to look up to except me.
Big up to all single mothers who stood up strong and brave when the coward took off.press on,the sky is our starting point#OmodaraOdicase#StrongWoman#”
