    Single mom for the second time.. It's so heartbreaking. It feels like all my dreams have died. I didn't even realize at first that I was being abused. Emotional abuse is very serious. I still struggle with self blame. I also struggle with embarrassment. I feel so embarrassed that people would think that there's something wrong with me that I can't keep a man. Thanks for sharing your story. It's important that we tell our story because so many people are not honest about their experiences for whatever reason.

      I could have written this myself. I know how you feel. Thank you for sharing your experience. It may feel like your dreams have died but they haven't. It is hard for us to see that when we are going through all the pain but life can be so beautiful after freeing ourselves from abuse.

    I’m glad I came across your video. I was in a extremely toxic, emotionally abusive, unhealthy relationship. I am a single parent COMPLETELY single with no help. But my child is thriving and we are happy! And God is good!!!🙏🏾

    I'm also a single parent. Sometimes it is, especially financially. I don't think I'll ever be with someone ever again - too many complications. I've been on my own for 4 years now. I don't need anyone else. I'm too independent and family orientated. My daughter still gets to see her father when he wants to. But I don't bother with him anymore. As I have the say, if he can or not. I actually prefer being single.

    Dear Sister...
    We must honor & acknowledge everything the Universe gives us; and you've done that! Your toxic relationship no longer accommodated your Spirit... and your ex-husband became merely a catalyst for where You needed to be in Your Life's Journey! That once toxic energy need not pass on to your children. When you let go, the negative energy has nothing to feed on! Thank you for sharing your Light!🌹

    Thank you SO much for this. I needed to hear your story.
    I’m a single Momma to a 1yr old and 23 yr old.
    I am in California and paying an arm and a leg to be here and am getting out! I put in my notice and am leaving the huge rent and business I started to begin a new life in a country where there is more family and community value, being outside, diversity (my son is half Nigerian) and a waaay lower coat of living!! Cali has lost its quality of life SO long ago!
    Your a gem! Keep up the great work🙏🏼✨🦋👶🏽☀️🌈🦋🧘🏻

    Obviously it's up to you, BUT PLEASE..., I believe you have a testimony hiding in the details. If ever that time comes I'd love to hear the story; How you and your hubby met, your mind set at the time, what your parents thought of your relationship, the pressures of teenage pregnancy, and on and on. Still hard to believe your single, BUT as a Retired Widower I do understand the benefits of it. I have to believe the time will come when someone special will finally recognize how wonderfully your inner quality matches your outer beauty, BUT till then I can only imagine how many people your story is helping. It's fun watching you guys enjoy a beautiful quality of life, still there's power in how you were able to push through the pains to get where you guys are now. I know..., not always easy to share; especially since you made it this far, but I can picture so many others finally seeing a glimmer of hope in hearing your story so..., pray about it, consider it, and do keep a journal. Your story has just begun, but always remember how much you help others when you share. Peace, Love, and Blessings.

      Sonja Bethel we drive to Canada and based ourselves for two months in a small town called Arnprior, Canada. It is about 40 minutes south of Ottawa. I got a good deal on an Airbnb because I booked for a month and I was the first booking so I got double the discount.
