Someone recently said to me "I don't know how you do it as a single mother." Until then I had never thought of myself as a single mother, and to be honest I still don't.
In my opinion a single mother is someone who doesn't have the support of a spouse or other parental unit. I have the support from my spouse, he just happens to be in another country right now.
It's true that I have to play the role of both Mommy and Daddy while he is gone, but he is still a large part of my daughter's life. We Skype as much as possible and there are tons of photos around the house that she talks to constantly. She never goes to sleep at night without her Dada, the doll, and she even gives him a good night kiss!
She often breaks my heart by asking for him, or even going to other rooms calling his name. I wish the military didn't have to take him away from us, but I know he is away for a good reason.
Now Americans can go to bed at night safe and free because my husband is defending their freedoms, in turn making me a proud wife and "single mother."
