Hello single moms and dads! Hello Steemit community! Hello happy people! I am quite unsure what to say, I have prepared for this introduction during those days my Steemit account was still under review, now I don't know where to start.
Well here's my story: I was once a happy (not married but living with my partner) woman. Until one day ... you know how the typical story goes, my man left me for another woman. Well, that hurts, a lot! It seems like I want be eaten by the earth alive. I was once lost and unsure of myself. I rant, I complain, I was negative, I was mad, I was bitter, I compared myself to her (the other woman), I post bad stuffs in social media just to gain refuge, I saw all the negative characters of his parents, siblings, cousins and relatives. I felt like I am better than any of them. I was in denial, yet I felt like I am telling the total truth.
Then... I decided to stay away. Far far away from their sight, their smell, their scent, their presence. I moved from Luzon to Visayas. I then started a life with just me and my kids. First, I started accepting the fact that my man doesn't love me anymore, then I realized the feeling was mutual. So why rant and be bitter? Second, I started to forgive my man and open a door of communication between him and my kids. - It's a relief, I felt like I have unloaded a full baggage of trash. Third, I started to regain my self esteem and realized that my worth do not depend on someone else's attention. Oh so true, I can manage life on my own.
Now I am a full pledged single mom. I raise my kids with my own sweat and blood. I am a father and a mother at the same time. Call me crazy when I act outside the normal, but that's the result of parenting. I have my ups and downs and mostly my crazy moments (you can ask my kids). I have gained all the acting workshops within the four corners of our room. Let's talk showbiz, I have nothing to share with you about that. Current news are not my thing either. But tell me all the cartoon stuffs you know, yes I can get along. CN, Disney Channel are my 24/7 program. Sleeping is borrowed, eating is a pleasure, malling is a relief, grocery is distressing, cooking is my favorite hobby and now Steemit joins my journey.
In this blog, I will share my crazy journey as I work as a mother for my two little rascals. I will share with you random stuffs, DIY projects, food recipes, travels, cats, art works, and my story how I embrace and enjoy being a single MOM.
By the way I'm Marlene, MJ is my nickname and I am a steemit newbie!
As long as Someone up there protects me, no one on Earth can break me.

You're welcome to steemit @fruthielicious. Your story is so touching. Being left by a man for another woman is one of the hardest situations a woman can face in life. And on top of that being a single mother to two kids, how crazy that can be.
Also, I liked the fact that you moved away from the source of your pain which was seeing your man with another woman. But you know what? That was the best decision you took.
I'm just glad that you are a happy woman now, not living in bitterness, anger, resentment or unforgiveness.
I gave you 100% upvote and also resteeming this post. You can call on me if you need someone to talk to as you journey through steemit. Take care of yourself and your kids.

Welcome to the Steemiverse, Marlene. Your kids making faces and antics look like a laugh riot! I look forward to your posts. You mentioned that you might post about travel. That's cool. Since your home town is also a place that people can travel, I hope you will post about it as well.
