Loneliness and pain

This is perhaps the first challenge you will face as a single mother. Fortunately, various ways can help you overcome the sadness. Keep your loved ones close as much as possible. They will be your best source of strength and positive energy.

Go out whenever you can and have some fun, enjoy as much as you can. Share your feelings with your loved ones and let them know how you are coping. If everything gets worse, try to seek professional help. Talking to others is very useful.

Money Issues

Things can get difficult financially after the separation, especially if you have left your career to be a homemaker. The very first thing to do is find a reliable and stable source of income that could assist you and your child through the rough times.

Look for something that you are skilled at and apply for local jobs. There are also online jobs that you can find nowadays, which can be useful in case you are left with a baby.

As a single mom, you will be juggling work and childcare. Hence, it is ideal to find a job with the same schedule as your kid's school hours so it is more convenient for you. Be confident in your skills and talents.

Worries

If you have a child or a baby with your now-ex husband, worrying about the feelings and welfare of your children is probably your biggest source of stress. Calmly talk to your kids, ask how they feel and share what you can, about your feelings, to them. Communication is very important at this stage.

Avoid saying negative things and the reasons for the separation with your kids but not to the point that you keep the whole truth from them. Your kids have the right to know what and why things happened according to their level of understanding. Assure your child that everything will be all right and that the divorce will not affect the relationship with his or her father.
