6 REASONS WHY SINGLE MOTHERS ARE SUPERHEROES


I recall about !5 years ago when a bike ran me over. I was a few distance away from our compound playing with other kids from my nursery school when the accident happened. When news got to my mum, she ran all the way from the house, scooped me up into her arms and
ran straight to the Hospital, which is quite a distance from our home.

That was just mum being just mum. She never had to wear a cape, or mask. Throw webs or climb walls. Or fly over the sky like Kara Zo-El. Yet she was and still is my Wonder Woman. An amazing superhero.

When father left us for my step-mother, I didn't feel the loss, seriously, I doubt if any of my siblings did. Mostly because he was never really around. He was in one state, city or the other. So we never missed him but I knew my mum did miss him.
But she never allowed it to stop her from doing her best for her children.
I don't miss my father, I love him, of course, but I don't miss him because mum was always there.
She was both mother, father, she was everything.

Unlike some mothers who have white-collar jobs, my mum was a farmer, she still is though. The woman enjoys farming like no one I've ever known. With the proceeds from her farms, she paid our school fees, fed us, gave us everything a normal child could have.
She was there when we woke up and when we went to bed.

Although the society continues to look on single mothers with scorn and disgust, they have been and still will be the biggest overcomers of parenting and child care.

Growing up with my single mother, these are my 6 reasons why single mums are superheroes.

#1EMOTIONAL BALANCE

You know that thing Vampires and Werewolves do when they are hurt or injured: they heal themselves.
My memories from the time my father left are not really sharp but I never saw my mum depressed. Sad? yeah. I have seen her sad but depressed and mourning my dads' departure? No, mother never did that.
She always put on a happy face, maybe she was not happy inside but she never let it show.

It's very obvious you did not read the post. You don't know how ridiculously stupid you sound. The single mother being referred to above is the one which the writer's useless and irresponsible father left his legally married wife for another twàt.
And it's always easy for you to open that rancid hole in your face to slut shame single mothers as if they are the ones that impregnated themselves. And yes, they are superheroes. It wouldn't take them anything to go the easy way and abort the baby, but no, they take responsibilities for their actions and actually raise up the child. It's a very laudable decision to make and just so you know, no one is above mistakes.

They are also to be celebrated.
They are however lucky they've got the support of a partner and are not alone in the struggle to provide care for their children.
We do have some married women who are no different from single mothers as their husbands have left everything from finances, to childcare- literally Everything to them. He also becomes the additional child she ends up catering for. I think their own case is worse sef.
There are some single mothers with involved partners e.g David, Flavor etc. who do provide for, and spend a little time with their children.

Whether married or not, a mother who sticks around to raise her children is a superhero. I'm not putting off women who have a man beside them, I'm only stating that those other women who do not have the support of a man and still overcome all odds to raise their kids deserve to be celebrated.

She was talking about a married woman abandoned by her husband .......however even the single mum that is unmarried derservers to be regarded as a superhero becos she gave the innocent child a chance to live rather than the easy way out of abortion
