Love it and you. You are more than a mother or a great mother from reading you are a “strong mother” and those set the best examples.

I also had a baby solo after leaving my ex and discovering I was pregnant. I also had a 2-year-old. It's no joke to do this alone! When I was in it, I just had my head down getting it all done, decades later, I am in awe that I was able to. That time of my life shaped me and brings me strength even today in challenging times. You're doing something many people will never understand. I hope you feel proud of yourself and know that when you look back decades later (as I do now) that this will be one of your greatest accomplishments regardless of any other success you create in your life.

I have written about it in passing a few times (probably a sentence about it!) but not in any depth.
