No one really talks about what it feels like to be a married single mother.
You’re not divorced. He’s not gone. But the weight? That’s ALL on you.
You pictured a teammate, but somewhere along the way, you became the DEFAULT parent. The one who remembers, plans, fixes, and carries everything.
Bedtime routines. Doctor visits. School events. Emotional support, for everyone. Meanwhile, he clocks out… or expects YOU to manage him too.
You’re not crazy, you’re DRAINED. And some days, you wonder if being on your own would at least make the loneliness make sense.
This isn’t what partnership should feel like.
It’s not just exhaustion. It’s grief. It’s burnout. It’s invisible work while holding everyone together, and LOSING yourself in the process.
But here’s the truth:
You’re not the only one.
So many women are carrying this silently, questioning themselves, wondering if anyone sees them.
We see you.
You’re not failing, you’re SURVIVING something impossible. And you don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.
You’re seen. You’re strong. And you STILL matter.🥺
