Asking for help can be a tough thing to do in any situation. As a single mother, it is likely that you have an overwhelming amount on your plate and feeling a great deal of stress. If you have family who is supportive, consider asking them for help with small tasks, being there to listen if you are feeling stressed, or even for help to take a few hours to yourself—you deserve it. Take advantage of the support of your community, depending on what resources they may offer such as childcare, or assistance with food, for example. Remember to give yourself credit where credit is due—you are doing your best. Take what time you can to take care of yourself, too.
