Summary
This week I explore the feelings of pride and responsibility that solo moms have towards their children.
I reflect on my own experience as a solo mom and the challenges I faced raising my sons. The idea stems from a conversation I recently had with a young woman who asked, "what do you feel when you look at your adult son"?
So if you sometimes feel responsible for your kids' behavior or thought you did a poor job raising them, this episode is for you.
