Also, just going to say it: I cry every. damn. time. @ewarren talks about her struggles as a single mom. She may have been 23. I may be 48. They are the same.
I don't have an Aunt Bee. I have an ex-MIL (my "outlaw") who I got in the divorce.
She comes 1ce a mth. She's an angel.

When you've experienced this, you never forget it. The helplessness. The income inequality. The fear.
And yeah, the weeping on the kitchen floor wondering how you're going to do it alone.
Single motherhood made Liz who she is in many ways.
She's MY president. All the way.
