solo parenting

This viral TikTok captures what it’s like to parent through exhaustion and mental health struggles

TikTok creator @ustheremingtons recently shared a raw, emotional video that has deeply resonated with moms everywhere.

My husband is gone a lot for work and it’s hard on *all* of us

It is hard. Harder than you think it is.

Being a single mom has been eye-opening + empowering in a way I never expected

To all the single moms out there struggling, you will get through this and in case no one has told you yet today—you're doing a really amazing job.

I see you, single mama—and I know how hard you’re working

I know some days you will question your sanity, this life, and how you got here. But please know that even in your darkest hour, you are so bright and such an incredible human and mama.

That final hour of the day parenting solo is exhausting

Sometimes I’m not sure I can make it—but I always do.

To the mom whose partner is traveling *again* this week—I am with you

Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s not hard.
