I understand how you feel. I feel the same about my mom, she's been gone a few years now. I had my daughter at 15 now raising my young son alone. You're doing a good job, single parenting let alone life is not easy but we still have to raise our kids better than us and set good examples. Blessings to you
Dang Meek I felt this so much. I literally said the other day I have been doing for everyone else my whole life … I finally wanna take care of me… my daughter still needs me but sometimes I just don’t want to have to take care of ANYONE but me ❤
thank you Meek. I also share a similar story of being pregnant and locked up. We learned from our past mistakes, do better for our future and show our kids more love than we’ve ever received as children. you definitely have a purpose on this platform. I know you’ve helped me plenty of days to get out of whatever mood I was in and to be productive. May you have many blessings come your way 💕
A child raising a child struck a cord with me. A neighbor who was 15 at the time was pregnant, her mother 30 and grandmother 46. As Hillary Clinton said, "It takes a village to raise a child". That being said, be careful of who you include in your village. While in a neighborhood store, a very young mother and friend were at the cold cut meat counter. I was at the register when her chiild ran into me. I smiled and said in a soft voice, "you are suppose to say excuse me". He immediately ran to back and up the next isle toward mom. Turning around to leave, he ran over and hit me on the leg. I laughed and said, "Oh, now you want me to talk to me". Again he ran off. I left but went immediately back for I had forgotten to purchase another item. I stepped in just in time to hear her friend say "why didnt you say something to that woman talking to your child like that". Her response was, "I need to teach him that anyway". I was so proud of that mom in that moment for shutting down the trouble maker and the value in seeing the comment by me and her friend.
thank u - i subscribed after ur section 8 video. It was such a good reminder to be proud of what I have and to take care of what I have, regardless of expense or status. I think all you can do to be a good parent is to be honest and forgiving. From the outside it seems like you are doing just that. I grew up wishing my mom would leave my dad, and then when she did it repaired our relationship and I am so close with her. The two parent expectation is silly, but I wish society made it easier for anyone parenting "alone." Much love to you.
Raising your kids off of love - I promise you they will remember that. I never was able to have kids of my own, but my niece and nephews who are grown now always tell me what they think of when they think back on our times together is that they felt and still feel so much love. Much love to you Meek.
thank you so much sharing your pain and realness with us, Meek ❤ so deeply appreciate how straight up you are and i really hope sharing with us helps you heal ❤
You’re such a strong and beautiful woman. I’m so sorry for all the pain you have and it’s okay to get angry. I struggle with this type of pain as well from past trauma so I completely get you. You are one of my inspirations because you keep going!!
You grow up and you take accountability. In my head I use to blame my parents for certain things but now I realize they did the best they could through their own trauma. We can only do our best. We can only learn from our experiences and be better for our children. It’s ok to still hurt but like you said heal from it. Your a great mom and your doing a great job.
You are the Best Mom. Sharing this is just getting you to think of solutions for your future. You can be there for others struggling as well as your children. You went thru a hard time, that no one can imagine.❤
I too blamed my mom, she too was a single mom. after she passed I realized she too had trauma in her childhood, her life…she too was abandoned. I saw that she also didn’t have a good example so how could she be a good example for her children. We are all learning & we don’t stop growing. We do have to give ourselves grace & not be so hard on ourselves. But be open to growth, change, adjustments, discipline even. I look to God & trust God with my life. Be blessed Meek ❤
Thank you for opening up about this, God is in control of your life, your steps are ordered by Him and He will get you to where you need to be. Never give up, there are good things in store for you I promise you that. Love from a friend goin through life’s hard times as well ❤
I appreciate your vulnerability so much. Although I may had very different life experience than you, having pain and struggles is what we all share as human beings. But most of all, all glory to God who delivers us from the path “expected” from all of our brokenness. May God bless you with more influence on people by sharing your stories as it is written by Him! As our mothers did their best, we do our best. Let’s watch and celebrate what God can do. I rarely comment on TH-cam videos, but your sharing moved me. 💜
Hi Meek: Thank you for sharing your story. I too had a traumatic childhood and saw and heard things that today sound unbelievable. I think it is very important to share your story to give hope to others feeling hopeless. Love you❤

It’s so very very much I could go on and on but hun I truly truly appreciate you for being on here. ❤❤❤❤

My dad still can't tell me that he loves me (I am 47),. I make sure to tell my kids I love them all the time because it is important to hear, and very important to show. We are both out here just trying to do better

“ not where I want to be, but not were I used to be” swear it’s one of the best statements I’ve heard ❤ very wise for your young years
You didn't just survive the obstacles in your life - - - you hurdled right over them like a champion!

I am much older than you. That is very normal to feel that way.
Thank you for sharing.❤️
