Single mum embarrassment

Why is it that I genuinely find it so embarrasing that I’m a single mum. I never look at other single mums and think “ha ha how embarrassing” but yet I’m just so embarrassed and SO ashamed that I am one. Anyone else relate? And did anyone else feel this way once upon a time and get over it? I don’t even care to be with my baby dad but I wish I at least had a partner and a family unit 💔

Show your support

I used to feel like this, change your mindset! Love will find you again just take your time and focus on you and your child right now

I feel exactly the same, I’m 23 weeks, I was never in a relationship with the dad, it makes you feel so so so lonely but I try and stay positive about it and feel so bad for my little girl sometimes😓 but I guess it just makes me so much stronger and independent as a person which is the most amazing strength ever. I also feel it’s better being single than having a shit unsupportive partner? My messages are always open as I know exactly how your feeling🩷

My baby dad broke up with me when I was around 3 months pregnant. He’s got some issues I won’t go into. But he is involved with the pregnancy and he is legit my best friend in so many ways. But as a pregnant woman, telling people I’m going to be a single mom is so embarrassing. I’m so embarrassed that I got myself into this situation. I judge myself more than anyone else has judged me. I am working on just accepting it and moving forward with what I have. Best thing I can do is be honest with myself about my situation.

I never wanted to be one but it’s easier this way. You have to change your thinking process and focus more on self care and self love.

Personally, when I hear someone is a single mom (or mom to be) I think they are a total badass. I have a partner and it’s hard as hell to exist as a mother even with a whole other supportive person to parent with. If you are a solo parent you deserve a medal. Anyone who judges you or looks down on you has issues. You can never predict the future whether you thought you’d have help or not you’re still doing it and I think that deserves mad respect 🫡

Keep your head up!

I'm not yet a single mom. But living like one. And honestly that is embarrassing also. Because I feel like I should just let go since he's not really acting like a partner and dad. Claims he is but majority of the time he isn't. The reason I stay is the shame I'd feel leaving her with no dad or revolving door dad.
