I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a mother, and I am so happy to have achieved that lifelong dream. However, that doesn't mean that the daily grind can't be difficult sometimes. Although my path has been unconventional, I am a single mother by choice and I want to create an inclusive space where other parents can find support.

My Journey as an Anxious, Gay, Single Mother

I began my single mother blog, The Mommy Confessions®, in 2017 as a way to find a community of people like me - people dealing with the stress of parenthood and everything that comes with it. As a gay, single mother by choice, I am committed to providing a setting to discuss topics like mental health and LGBTQ+ issues in a productive and comforting manner.

No matter what your specific situation is, everyone is accepted and respected here. The Mommy Confessions® blog is meant to celebrate the differences that make us unique and acknowledge every aspect of parenthood, even if it doesn't fit the image of perfection that so many strive to achieve.

Whether you are looking for encouragement or comfort, I hope that you will find it in the stories I share regarding my own experiences as a single mother by choice and the stories that others have shared with me.
