Every so often, I make a hard charge on medium to see if I can somehow break through the overcast and see the sun both financially and spiritually. And that pursuit requires reading other writers, which generally leaves me some combination of bored, puzzled, and even angry when I see a nothing story with thousands of claps.

And then I found this. Thank you. I can't say you've restored my faith in this platform, but at least, I found something I could relate to even if I'm a man who probably wouldn't want to get serious with a woman raising two children (though I might make an exception in your case).

This story should have thousands of claps. You have a voice, Keep writing.
