Any single parent knows that looking after a child on your own, even with help at the margins, can be one of the toughest challenges of your entire life. It will change you, and it will make you stronger. Without dismissing that difficulty, it’s also important to say that this process is one of the most important and worthwhile efforts you could ever make in life. It’s hard to think of anything else that would take precedence over raising and loving your child, and the effort of pursuing such a goal can give your life meaning and affect every single positive day your child will have during the course of their lifetime.
