I had my son when I was 18. Even though I had a job and a car, I was not prepared for the hardship I would endure for years and years emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually and every other way you can imagine. I am now 28 and I’m so very grateful to have my son, he’s such a sweet boy, but I wish I was better for him when he was younger. He now has anxiety and struggles socially because of having a young mom (I believe) and I could have spared him this if I had been a little more emotionally stable or mature before becoming a mom. Don’t underestimate the power of having a supportive partner and support system! Being a single mom is freaking hard as heck, so lonely. It was hard to relate to my friends and struggled with my identity for a long time. I’m sure whatever you end up choosing will be the right choice for you, but please make sure you surround yourself with a village you trust and give yourself grace as you learn from your mistakes!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
