I am so grateful you shared this. As a person who solo patented as a single mom for about a decade - the echo chamber was hard. I know we are not alone in this experience but I do wish I'd had the space and time to grow during that period. It would have helped my kid also. Thank you for discussing this.
Thank you for this beautiful, vulnerable post. When I was growing up, I was told, "it takes a village" (to parent a child), but the reality never seems to match that old African proverb. This article provides an interesting take on it: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8964422/
I love the ideas in this article! Definitely resonates, "Even though parents may be a child's primary caregivers, a family does not exist in a vacuum. Social connectedness has been defined as those subjective psychological bonds that people experience in relation to others including, for example, a sense of belonging and feeling cared for"

The fact that you did this for so many years makes you a hero to me.
