Parenting can be a challenge, as many parents will tell you. Being a single mom is a totally different level. I've survived raising my 5 kids until this point. They're 25, 19, almost 18, 16 and 11. But the biggest struggle lately has been with the mental health of my youngest. I don't know if it's hormones, life, the brain....but it has been a very challenging time. Have you encountered mental health issues with your child(ren)? What helped you through?

We often can compare ourselves to others or even our own ideas of where we should be in life. More advanced in our career, married or remarried, bigger house, etc. Just know that everyone has a different journey and this doesn't make you less accomplished, loved, or capable.
