My mom raised 3 kids on her own. She worked multiple jobs and put herself through college and university at the same time. It made us who we are today. We were incredibly independent kids who just had to "figure it out" on our own sometimes. Different childhood than some to be sure but we were lucky we had the mother that we did. It could easily have gone bad had she not been so strong.
She ended up getting her MSW and running some pretty important programs in the city.
