The few that know me do know that I am a single mother of a nearly-4 year old daughter. My daughter brings me so much joy without a doubt; I have no regrets over choosing to have this child. It all happened for a reason and for that I’m grateful to my Deity for giving me a shot at bringing new life to the world.
For the past 4 years though, I have struggled with the fact that for some years I will have to raise this child on my own (of course now my parents have been ever so kind to help me raise her whilst away getting my career sorted); Having to be the mother and father of this child is the part that scares me the most. Every night, I go to bed thinking of ways on how best to be a better mother/father to her.
Although I shouldn’t let fear hinder my plans for her, I fear that my partner will not love her as much as I expect him to. (Maybe that’s not the right way of looking at it, but I do know that this is the best way that I can prepare myself for a situation where I might end up being the only parent of this child)
I continue to dig deeper and keep searching for encouragement around me.
