As a single mother of three kids, I'm struggling to make ends meet. I'm constantly thinking about money and the budget, making me feel like a bad mom.
When I found a gray hair in my eyebrow, I panicked. I struggle with aging, and it's especially bad when I see my kids take their youth for granted.
I was a bad mom to my three kids because I was an alcoholic. I've been sober for 11 years now, and it's taken a long time for my kids to forgive me.

My kids were initially embarrassed of our new setup, but it was the only option we had that I could afford.
