Power to the single moms!

For November 14, 2021

Howdy mates?

Forgive the Marites in me.

On November 11, Ellen Adarna and Derek Ramsay got married. Derek used to be a certified playboy, and Ellen, a single mom with a 2-year-old son. They tied the knot a few months after their relationship. Who would have guessed their wedding happened that fast? Who would have known that the fabulous single mom caught that crazy playboy's heart?

I remember the times when moms were mocked because of their status. People would judge them as "makati"/flirt or "pakawala"/lewd without even knowing the story behind their situation. It was taboo having a child out of wedlock before, single moms would live a life of shame because of society.

I was a single mom, by tax status-still a single mom, and I know the feeling of being judged. I may have disappointed my family and friends at first but they saw how I carried my pregnancy and handled my financial situation. I am a proud single mom.

Why would you stay in an abusive and manipulative relationship? Because society says a child needs a family. What kind of family, a dysfunctional one? F*ck that. Sorry for my French. And I am glad that I decided not to live with the father of my first child. It was the greatest decision I have made in my life.

And I also have close friends in high school who have been single moms like me. We all worked to finish our studies, they didn't give up when their relationships failed. Instead, they used it as stepping stones in reaching their dreams. Now my friend Carl is happily married to the love of her life in Canada. Her new family loves her daughter so much. And the other friend, Weng, who has several businesses also found a good man who accepted and married her as well.

Who said that single moms are helpless? They, we, are actually the strongest that you'll ever see. We grind and work hard to provide for ourselves: from pregnancy until birth, until the child grows up.

Who said that single moms are hopeless? We are not! We can prove to the world that we can stand up after we fall. That we are still a positive part of the society. We train our kids to be stronger than us, wiser than us so they won't repeat the same mistakes. We have more hopes and dreams than those who didn't experience the hardships of single parenthood.

Who said that single moms do not deserve true love? Of course, they do! Wouldn't you like to love someone who has been through so much but survived and thrived? You are guaranteed to have a great partner for life. And don't you wanna take care of that lovely woman who is as strong as an Amazonian? Who will be there for you through thick and thin and love you for the rest of your life?

Single moms deserve the best in life-power to the single moms!

And just a little segway...Who says you need to be with someone for a longer period of time to know he or she is your one true love? You will know it if you've found the right one the minute you lay your eyes on him or her. It's not the years that count, it's the precious time together!

Just wanna say salute to us moms especially the single moms! And also, thanks to Rusty, my sponsors, and my upvoters. I was able to reach my goal for the first 2 weeks of November.
