The Power

Never underestimate a woman’s power, restraint, and fortitude. We work through pain and rise above adversity. We hold ourselves together while our insides sink to the ground. Although, the disappointment, disgust, and trauma exist, we push our shoulders back and carry our heads high. Why, you ask? Because we are survivors who deserves to gain our freedom. The type of freedom that results power. So, never underestimate a woman’s power, restraint, and fortitude. Why, you ask? Because, you will never win.

Single Parents Feel the Impact of Rising Costs for Groceries, Gas and Housing 🥺

If two parent households are struggling to adjust to the rising costs of gas, groceries and housing then imagine the impact it has on one parent households. Single parents have grown accustom to making something out of nothing, but with the heavy impact of rising costs their income is being stretched to no end. Consequently, these single parents are forced to make the tough decisions such as whether to feed their child(ren) “healthy” meals or put gas in their vehicle. Unfortunately, lately, this and other cost cutting decisions have to be made by single parents, daily.

In my research, I found this article that discusses inflation to include continuous rising costs of necessities, and its impact on the American family; specifically, in a single parent home.

Single Parent Multi-Tasker

Do you know there is a day to celebrate single parents who are taking care of children without a partner? Well my single parent friends, it is true. Proclamation 5166 was signed by President Ronald Reagan on March 21, 1984. This proclamation serves to recognize all the single parents who are raising kids on their own.

Check out this website on how to support the strong, selfless, single parents of the world who make it happen, daily for their kids.

Going forward, on the next National Single Parent Day please remember to recognize, respect, and make the day of at least one single parent.
