Here’s what Kylie Padilla shared about her current life.
Actress Kylie Padilla shared this statement as she reflected on her life as a single mother and the struggles that come with it.
There is no denying that single parenthood comes with a unique set of challenges. There are challenges in budgeting, balancing life as a single parent and as an employee, handling mental health, taking care of your physical health, lack of support, dealing with social stigma, childcare issues, and many others.
All of these and more are the reasons why single parents are admired by many on another level. They have this unbelievable strength to juggle everything all at once. They find ways to cope, build resilience, and at the same time, do things to provide a fulfilling life for their children. Recently, actress Kylie Padilla opened up about this part of her life.
In an Instagram post, she shared a heartfelt post about single motherhood.
As much as we all know, Kylie has two sons with Aljur Abrenica. Years after being together, they decided to separate and pursue co-parenting for the sake of their children.
She wrote the piece with the simplest of words to convey the struggles and how complicated the situation is. Through her words, she described the twisted side of this situation often thought of as empowering but really difficult.
Padilla shared how hard it is to become a mother as a nurturer and a father as a disciplinarian at the same time. How it seems impossible when one is covered with self-doubt, isolation, and loneliness.
But despite these, there’s nothing worse than mom guilt and missing out for her. She could only hope for them to grow and understand how she pulled through to give the best for them despite being at her worst. That one day, they would learn that it was not her who was the superhero but them and their love.
