Being a Single Mother is not easy....

Women would say it is biased when it comes to being a single mother however it is not easy. Absolutely not!!!!

This is coming from a single mother born from a single mother of 3 learning a lot from her. In this story, this doesn't just involves me and my mother and all the single mothers reading this story. This tragic story involves on how difficult it can be a single mother. This story involves with a young mother age 21 with 2 kids named Livi Jaay. It is unclear what she does however that she lived in Texas with her kids. She has posted on Facebook that she had battled depression and express her mental being on social media.

She posted on Facebook:

"I’m sorry but I can’t keep battling depression. To the ones that were there, I love y’all. If I do succeed at this please make sure my kids are ok please."

It was her last post on Facebook.

Sadly, she ended her life in a car wreck leaving her two children behind. People would say she is "selfish" for what she did to herself however people need to understand that what she was going through the hardships but still people could've help and mothers don't have sleep, mothers don't have rest, mothers don’t have time for themselves. My mother had dealt with the three of us (me and my siblings) after my father left. My mother was on her own taking care of us on her own in Arkansas when she had no family members to

Let me be her voice for a second...Don't for one second think that she took her life because she was tired of her kids, or she was tired of being a mom, I believe she love her kids. Being resentful because their dad had the option of doing whatever he wants and could CHOOSE when to be a parent when it best fit him. As a mother, I was tired of waking up every day and going to sleep and doing it over and over and over again. Making sure my son at all times functioning and thriving. I was tired of pretending I was okay at work, pretending I was okay around family and friends, pretending I was okay around my kids. I was tired of struggling. I was tired from going and going and going day in and day out, making sure the household was taken care of, the bills were paid on time, the house was clean, there was food in the house, the clothes were washed, the homework was done, my kids were happy and thriving, God forbid I put 100% in at work too without breaks, without me time, without a weekend to myself. I couldn't just give my kids to someone else. Or drop them off to someone whenever I felt like it. Hell I can barely find a baby sitter at times. I tried to reach out. I vented online. Told people I needed a break. I asked for help. They only sent likes and reactions and prayers. Mothers are tired. I'm tired. My mind needs rest. My body needs rest. My spirit needs rest. I can't keep living like this. Something has got to give. I hope someone understands when I say this I was never ever tired of being a Mom.The point is it may be easy on the eyes seeing how being a single mom deals with children on their own. It is not. Being a single mother is not easy...There are some moms would go through mental illness and they would take it out on the child. For instance, Andrea Yates, a Texas mother who killed her five children by drowning them in her home. Her reason was to "save their souls" even though she was married, her husband still didn't do anything. It allegedly that she was suffering from post par tum depression but still it doesn't give her an excuse as a mother to harm your own children.

That's why being a single mother is tough or even if you are married and on post partum it is difficult. Single mothers should prioritize their mental health by practicing consistent self-care, establishing a reliable support network, and setting realistic, non-perfectionist goals. Key strategies include seeking therapy for stress, utilizing 5-minute mental breaks, nurturing social connections, and accepting help to avoid burnout.
