...about yourself when you became a single mom that really surprised you? Is there anything that you were so sure about yourself that changed when you found yourself on your own?

also I'm accomplishing all of my goals, slowly but surely, before I wasn't dedicated enough, now I do it for myself and my son, I got my Cosmetology license, by the time my son was a year, I'm working full time, and I'm back in school to be a teacher,
my life changed completely and although it has been hard, i'm surviving it
I've been thinking about this question a lot.
I have learned to set boundaries and to put myself first. What surprises me is that people treat you better, not worse, when you set boundaries.
You cannot be everything for everyone - that is for sure. I think that is the big mistake I made in my marriage - as First said, I lost myself. I will not do that again.
I have also learned that I control my happiness and my destiny!! A positive attitude and the high road just keep getting better every day.
