Embracing Single Motherhood

Let’s be clear — single motherhood was not on my vision board. Neither was doing school runs on four hours of sleep, negotiating with teenage boys who are convinced they know everything, or being the only adult in the house when something breaks at midnight. And yet here I am, doing all of it, and somehow still standing. Consider this a love letter to the mothers holding the whole thing together with sheer determination and the occasional glass of wine. We didn’t choose the easy road but we chose our children, every single day. And that is something to be incredibly proud of.
