All new parents face a myriad of different challenges in life, but single mothers however, have to go through more than their fair and acceptable share, of this profoundly unique experience.

As a matter of fact, many if not most single moms end up tackling pretty much the same hackneyed issues such as anxiety over financial resources, and a lot of self-doubt over their decision-making ability. Here, the key thing to remember is that whenever you become a single mother,you will end up having a really stressful time at this point in your life.

Especially, if we vector in the fact that you will inevitably have to face the prospect of raising your kids without the love and support of a spouse or partner. While, it is certainly true that many, if not most women have not exactly planned on bringing up their kids entirely by themselves, but unfortunately, a change in fortunes and circumstances just might have forced their hand.

For the single mommy, there is a bit of a double wallop. That is,in addition to attempting to keep up with family routineand daily chores, she also has to come to terms with a (fairly) recent breakdown of a relationship or even the loss of a loving partner or spouse. In some cases, she ends up putting her own feelings and emotional well-being right at the bottom of her erstwhile ‘list of priorities’. Sometimes, the problem can be exacerbated to such an extent that the single mom ends up feeling guilty even when she take s some time out for herself to concentrate on a hobby or dress up and go out on a date.

However, these are perfectly natural things to do andafter all just about everyone deserves a break. Why should a single mother be an exception? There is absolutely nothing wrong with hanging out with cherished friends that you have not been able to get in touch with lately, or for that matter, taking a nice long bubble bath after you have put the little ones to bed. But there may well be certain times, when it can be really tough for you to manage the more practical aspects of your life, such as balancing work and home, cooking and chores, dropping the kids to school etc.

Sometimes it can all get overwhelming and you might feel the urgent need to be with someone that you can relax with and let your guard down totally. This in a nutshell is the real face of loneliness and it is bound to hit when you least expect it, such as the time when you are alone and in bed and trying to sleep.  There are certain ways you can cope with such loneliness and provided you are willing and able to fight this sense of loss and loneliness, you can actually get rid of them both and live your life to the fullest. Let us check out a few such methods with which you can successfully combat your isolation and depression.

o Start dating all over again

Yes, you may have had a really bad experience (or even a series of bad experiences for that matter) but that certainly does not mean that you are destined to spend the rest of your life without a loving companion by your side. We all make mistakes and relationships do break upon the rocks of hard reality. But that should never stop you from trying out another one.

Here, you should on no account give up just simply because the past colors your present and by extension, your future as well.  Rather, look at prospective dates and mates with an open mind and see if you can once again find the love, that had hitherto been missing in your life.

o Learning to accept that the world is now a lot different then you want it to be

Many women tend to constantly  worry about the fact that their children might not be able to cope with the fact that their father is not around all the time, as is the case with duel parent households. They will not be like other kids who have both their respective parents coming to PTA meetings and sports events. They will not be able to horse around and play football and baseball with their dad or just sit and have somequality time simply talking to them

The last thing you want to do is to allow your own loneliness to seep through, into their collective consciousness. Once that happens then they will not only start feeling your loneness sand feelings of despondency, but they will also start reflecting the same as well, so that all of you end up feeling positively worse.

o Conclusion

In the light of the above we can see that once you have become a parent, you have certain responsibilities towards your children and that is why it is important that you prioritize them in every way. Sometimes, this means that your own sense of loneliness has to take the proverbial back seat.
