Single mums – how do you cope with it all?

Are there other single mums out there? I'd love to hear how you manage all the ups and downs, from juggling everything solo to coping with loneliness or lack of support. Any advice or solidarity would be amazing.

Single mama for 10 years here! It’s very hard, but you have to find some way to take care of yourself too. Trust me if you’re not well, you can only give so much. Every time you take even a few minutes to care for yourself, you’re rewarding your kids too. You will be a happier mama for them. Take each day for what it is. Planning too far ahead can end up letting you down. Appreciate every moment - the meltdowns, the wins, the funny stuff, sad stuff and just weird stuff. You won’t got those days back. Also remember to talk kind to yourself - we’re 1 person doing a “2 person” job. You got this! :)
