I'm a single parent of three. I am confronted with the everyday struggles of working and paying the blls. Most time paying "peter" just rob "paul". Seems like there is never enough. On top of that, somebody is always pulling me back and forth.
Have you ever felt this way? As if nobody seems to care, that you are sinking and need to be saved. On top of that, your dealing with your kids and their wants and needs, no matter how trivial it may sound to you, it means the world to them. They want everything right now, and are unappreciative at the sacrifices you have to make to supply their wants. Hey, I don't know about you, but I'm still in phase of nuturing my grown sons.
Don't get me wrong, they are both productive young men. But, I guess motherhood never stops, does it?
Well, it took me a long time to finally realize, why I encounter so much stress, anxiety, and worry. It's because I've been forced to maintain a position that was not Divinely created for me. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not a male basher, but when Adam ate from the fruit in the garden, he threw the total scope of man's positon versus the woman position totally out of alignment.
We women have been forced to maintain roles as father, mother, protector, provider and comforter. No wonder most of us are out of order and have difficulty maintaining healthy and whole relationships. Some of us are still angry, because the missing father left us in a position we were never created for, yet alone prepared for.
What are your thoughts? I'm interested to know, am I the only one who feels misaligned? Let me hear from you.
