The New American Dream For Women
There was a time when just about every little girl in America dreamed of her wedding day. She thought of a special day in the future, where she’d dress like a princess, invite all of her friends and family, and marry her Prince Charming. Then they would buy a house, have three or four children, and live happily ever after.

My life as a single mom
It will be two years in July since I have given birth to my son, I am a single mom. The situation with my son's father was abusive, he changed once I became pregnant. Throughout my pregnancy I got support by taking me to my appointments and that's about it, my family was never supportive of the fact I became pregnant. I ended up having to deal with the emotional pain on my own, at that time I was also unemployed. Overall from getting pregnant to giving birth was living hell for me emotionally and somewhat physically on my body. I ended up developing PPD when I had my 6 week check-up, again no one supported me through my struggles with that, I some know people will say to tough up and not get so fragile and emotional or feel like I am the victim when I don't have that mindset. I just wished I got more emotional support I think every pregnant women and mother would say the same thing.

A Sign of the Black Dog. Top Story - April 2022.
There was a hope, and perhaps a dream, once… but those days have gone and passed. Inside the pub he walked into, a slogan runs along the back wall, beyond the pair of giant television screens. It’s written along the upper cornice of the ceiling. It’s short and catchy; something along the lines of: Good beer, good cheer, and a good ol’ time. In this once booming town, all the pubs are now the same; they are vacant; with the exception of a slogan running along the wall, somewhere.

That's Just my Baby Daddy
"It takes two to Tango", as the saying goes. Everyone knows it. Sperm meets egg, they intertwine and a baby is formed. Inside my belly, growing bigger by the day. Then my baby is born. I went through this process twice. I have no regrets. I did however, ask "dad" if he wanted to proceed because I DID NOT want to be a single mom in need. How ironic it is that it happened anyway regardless of my foresight and plan. "Dad" is not around in any capacity to lend a hand. Just sees his kid on holidays if that and random cashapps. Being a single parent is hard. He gets to relax and be free while all the responsibility falls on me. It's all good though because both my babies know, mommy got they back "until my eyes close."

Single Mom Struggles: The Truth Nobody Tells You
This is my first time doing something like this so bear with me. It's been a little while since I've been on my own, and a lot has changed since then. I never imagined that I would be a single mom. It's not something that I ever wanted or planned for, but it's what I have to do.
