My life as a single mom
It will be two years in July since I have given birth to my son, I am a single mom. The situation with my son's father was abusive, he changed once I became pregnant. Throughout my pregnancy I got support by taking me to my appointments and that's about it, my family was never supportive of the fact I became pregnant. I ended up having to deal with the emotional pain on my own, at that time I was also unemployed. Overall from getting pregnant to giving birth was living hell for me emotionally and somewhat physically on my body. I ended up developing PPD when I had my 6 week check-up, again no one supported me through my struggles with that, I some know people will say to tough up and not get so fragile and emotional or feel like I am the victim when I don't have that mindset. I just wished I got more emotional support I think every pregnant women and mother would say the same thing.
