There are battles I should be able to Battle on my own.   Due to my mental illness and being a single mom, that cannot be.   Tonight is the first night I have accepted this.  Eyes full of tears, pain in my heart, but I accept it.  I could cry a river over this, but fuck that.

Do not let the bastards grind you down. You are not less than if you are a single Parent and ask for help.  Do not be a martyr.   Be a good, modern parent (male, female, transgender etc.) and ask for help when you need it.
