Being a solo mom can be brutal. Put all the obvious reasons aside, such as finances, responsibilities, and the emotional repercussions. For me, it’s being around non-solo or non-single moms (I see single moms as my soul sisters). Whether it’s something like swimming lessons or walking into a school function by myself, I must constantly face the co-parenting couples. Two people who are hand-in-hand, proudly supporting their child. Together.
