I raised two children on my own with zero help from anyone (financially or otherwise). It wasn't an easy life and I would describe myself during those years as trying to keep it together while maintaining a sense of humor. But I am proud and do no regret any decisions. What I have is mine, all outcomes stem from my independence. I did not whore myself into marriage (or coupledom in general). Because of that, my mind is whole. I listen to beckies of the middle and upper class American caste and what I hear is truncated thinking. Do they understand the value of what they traded off?
I am mine.
