How do you overcome challenges as a young single mom with little to no support?
I don’t get help from my family when I did I had to pay and they hardly ever properly cared for my child some tell me I should have thought about that before having my baby (it’s literally too late for any of that) her dad nor does his side help he literally stopped helping with her after I put him out behind his actions(cheating, lying, emotionally abusive) I’m the full time parent, provider etc only support I get is her daycare which I pay out of pocket I work 2 job and in school I’m making the best of it because I love my daughter and I have to be there no matter what but I’m drained I’ve been doing it for almost 365 days alone and it’s not easy any advice?

I don’t have much advice. But I’m a working mom and I have a husband and it’s still so hard so if you need anyone to vent to I’m here as well as so many other ladies on this app. Stay strong! Sounds like you already are.
The only advice I can give you, is to acknowledge the hard times but don’t dwell on them. With your little one being so young things are going to be hard/stressful for a while, but give yourself grace and praises! As she gets older things will get better as she won’t depend on you for every little thing.
