As a single mom of a thirteen year old male. My son knows the importance of the Lord. However, It’s been hard, specially if fathers are not involved but God has been gracious and merciful. This message is so important and valuable for me. I appreciate you speaking about this. Blessings.
Thanks for listening Ilen.

Very hard to raise a son as a single mother . But I have found healing my own inner feminine and masculine energy has enabled me to embody a whole healthy person to him and break the cycle of generational trauma. No more excuse of past mother's n father's absence determining the outcome of the next generation . Everybody needs to heal themselves properly n stop relying on past generations to heal that disempowers you .they didn't have the tools and information available to them then that we do now these days so we can be the ones to break this cycle . hopefully the next generation then learn to love themselves and support eachother more healthily .not defined by their identity of a neglected child of a single mother or father family. We are all whole in Christ as he is our father . I trust his plan for my life and can see all these painful issues have been his perfect way of moulding me into a spiritual warrior .
In a full church, I feel more lonely, than when I was alone.
It is more easy expecting nothing from no one because there is no one, then expecting nothing from no one when there are a 100people around you 😢.
Not to bash my church, but to share the struggles of my heart and ask for prayers ❤
Same. In a weird way, we sit together in that feeling. ❤
Like somehow, you aren't part of the community as a person, now you're the example, the charity case, that conduit for others to exalt themselves
It's a humiliation and alienation that's impossible to describe. Even worse in communities small enough that the kids hear it 😢
I am not scared of being a single mother financially, but my son suffering and missing his dad. That kills me ! The dad is drug addict so is not this way is not the other way either. Don’t know which way to go. My son is also very very extremely emotional and I don’t. Know what to do he is only 6 with a very big heart full of love !
I feel great about teaching my son right from wrong and why not being a parent to his child is wrong. I also taught him what both myself and his father did wrong to create our family dynamic. I also teach him how to think of fatherhood and do right in planning his life vs. just letting life happen.
great conversation. I am focused on raising my son with a foundation in Christ and the Church. Thank you!
My struggle as a single mother of a teenager boy is making him understand that it takes hard work to get to places. He is living his best teenager life but forgets that there’s more than just enjoy his life. He needs to understand decipline and hard work to get what he needs. I’m afraid he will not get his life together because he’s soo used to me doing everything. I nourished him and encourage him to get up and do his things but he’s just like w.e
Stop doing things for him and make him do it himself. Maybe not everything all at once, but start with one skill and make him do it. Once he’s gotten that down, pick something else. I would set boundaries on fun and going out:
I'm a mum raising four boys, been more than 7 years now
10years for now
My heart delights with this confirmation & truth! I 100% agree that processing loss & forgiving (even if they're not asking for forgiveness) is extremely vital! Thank y'all for opening up humbly with purpose. Please continue supporting single parents as holy spirit leads y'all! The emotional and spiritual support that I receive at my church does wonders!!! When a sister or brother has my back in Christ, I can't tell y'all what a huge relief that is to not feel alone in raising two young boys! I love it! Jesus is the lover of my soul!!! 💖
What a beautiful interview. I am not a single mom myself but I am a mother and was raised by a single mom and I resonated so much with this message on a personal level as a child who grew up w/out a father and having to navigate through that loss, grief, anger and then forgive. It also opened my eyes as a mother of 2boys and 1 girl to be aware of certain aspects in my parenting. Thank you so much for this healing message and I can’t wait to get my hands on the book.
“Talk about that pain” so key. I love these positive discussions. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am purchasing this book now it is actually a loss… 5:45 like you said. I really hope and pray over my son ❤
I am married, but my husband is away for work most of the time. Though I get to stay home with my children, I fear there are things I am not providing that I should. I ask the Lord to be the Father to my sons when their earthly father is away, and that he would give me wisdom to raise them for His glory
Thank you I definitely received deliverance from this part 1
It felt amazing crying I had no clue how much I’ve bottled up.
Blessings to you Billy
I havevtwo boys. Abusive ex husband i left. I am tired at 48 abd nedd work pls anyone seeing it pls pray
The lord is your strength
We can also have young people navigate getting in touch with their estranged fathers later in life.
Oh, so unfortunately, I'm here as a mother of 5 married, with an absent but "here" Dad. The reason he's the dad he is, is because he can and does fall back on me as a mom. I want him to step up more and lead but I can't force him. It's the biggest devastation having the hope of help but not receiving it.
I relate to this so much
yes, he hit the nail on the head about forgiveness. We've been forgiven for so much, how can we NOT forgive another human being?! It takes work, that's for sure!
i'm not anger i and beyond hurt. how can he not want his miracle baby!
It's tough for the kids. More needs to be done to make sure society has less single moms. It has a catastrophic impact on the world.
What can be done? Even if you made/allowed the Dad to stay it wouldn’t make the household better if he’s toxic or doesn’t want to be there
@@briizyfbaby16
Informing women at a young age to marry before they carry. Also, informing them of the risks of fornicating such as STDs, pregnancy, mental issues, and shame. Basically, that God's Word should be followed.
Loss is so hard. I relate so much to his mom “powering through” my young children and I lost my husband their dad suddenly died during COVID. The grief is so tougher than I can understand. This truly is eye opening. Talking about the pain is too much
I’m so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the grief. Your kids are blessed that you’re their mom ❤️❤️
Excellent 🎉 loved this episode! So insightful and encouraging ❤
Thanks for listening Lucy!
Such a healing conversation thank you for this.
I was hoping you’d do an episode like this! Thank you!
True forgiveness is the opposite of self esteem
So, yeah, its hard
Amen. This was an amazing discussion. 🙏❤️
Thank you ❤
Thanks for this ❤️❤️❤️
Love this podcast so much ❤
Christina D here glad to be back.
Thank you for this
Amen
Great session❤
I am a single mom from Sierra leone with two children, I have a community based organization, I am looking for partners to work, I will be very grateful to have one as in my country single moms are undergoing so many challenges.,.
The loss is unbearable and will always be there.
how do u explain the unexplainable
💙💙💙
Hi, my name is Anabel. What to do when a teenager does not listen? Just let him be and let him suffer the consequences?
I look for help in every way I can. Help Please
Have consent for the actions. Something that you know will be a loss for them.
How do I as an older woman help my new older male partner who was a only child of woman who made him her serogat husband as she blew through 4 marriages?
2:58 ❤
(FACTS OVA FEELINGS). Many me. Learns how to bee Men From Their Mothers. but we this happens they taught not to bee like the men who hurt if eu grow up and a man in these circumstances eu feel that hurt in the woman in ur life and eu r told r eu decide that the cause of that hurt is eu learn that the Masculine hurts the Feminine and the Masculine is therefore a Gillian and from this dey forward eu carry a wound eu r trying to bee a hero by rescuing and protecting women wen eu know deep down eu urself is a man therefore a villian causing pain do eu live ur life in guilt for watt eu sea .
Pls how can I joiny
But if forgive that means to give a chance to come back together again ? Give it a chance for kids as well ? …it’s not easy base on action was done by father
Am I the only one that doesn't like this comparison to Hagar? Yea he was part of a different promise, but that promise is leading millions astray... I just don't think it's a great comparison. Is it just me? I am not condoning single moms, I am one. Am I not understanding this? Thanks
Wait she did it well ?? but dies when you were only 9 ? whoa
Helpme
3 men talking of single mom ? 😮
except for a model minority, ask 10 random American fathers:
Who is your child's doctor or dentist?
What is the name of your child's school principal or even their teacher?
What grades did they get on their last report card?
Your "Heavenly Father" is non-binary is the secular, progressive, gender-affirming, non- patriarchy response to Americans raised without fathers.
Can you help them process years later?
Absolutely...Much of what I cover in the book is helpful in this area...
@@rolandwarren625 i Wonder if this book would be helpful and encouraging to me or if there’s any other book that focuses more on being a single mom and raising kiddos who’s father died…. Any recommendations?
If you’re a single mother raising a boy, offer the father custody, child support included.
If you really care, you’ll at least make the offer, and dad can accept or decline.
Even if the father is emotionally immuture?
@@ohmylilly005 Most women are emotionally immature. So the average man is better suited.
@@electric5hadow I didnt mention anything about woman...and your saying even if the dad is unstable he should be in the kids life...?
@@ohmylilly005 I’m saying that in rare instances the men are disqualified to be custodial parents. I know how y’all work. You take the exceptions to the rule to justify your points.
Alright
