"Emma, Anna! Come pick up your toys and make room for the movers!!!" said 28 year old Emily to her two young daughters as the movers came in and put the boxes of the stuff from their old previous apartment in their new living room.

Who is Emily, you may ask?

Emily is a currently single mother of 3.

Let me explain.

Once upon a time when Emily was only 19 years old, she met a young 21 years old handsome man who promised to give her everything she always wanted.

And anything she could ever want.

He had fallen in love with her, and gave her all the love she needed.

Emily truly was happy being by his side, but her mother never truly approved of him though.

She thought that her mother didn't need to approve of him, Emily was happy either way...

So all is good.

Right?

But then came that unexpected pregnancy.

She became pregnant a few months later by accident and gave birth to her very 1st child, a currently 9 year old boy named Tom.

At first Tristan, the man, was reluctant of Tom.

He never thought he would become a father at such a young age...

Plus he had college to worry about.

But he later approved of it because what much could he do?

You would think he would have learned his lesson by then.

But no.

2 years later, Emma came along.

By then Tristan was devastated of having any more children.

He never really wanted to have children in the first place.

Neither did Emily honestly.

But what could they do?

Murder the children??

Haha, if only things were that simple.

You'd think after those mistakes they would learn a thing or two?

Nope.

Not at all.

Anna came along 2 more years later.

But enough was enough.

Tristan broke up with Emily that very day and continued the rest of his college years.

He didn't want anything to do with the children, he just abandoned her.

He gave her no money, not a single dollar or coin, nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

He didn't have much to begin with.

 Or so that's what he told her.

Emily began to really struggle, life was very harsh and cruel on her.

She didn't want to date anyone anymore, especially after what had happened with Tristan.

She wanted to focus on raising her kids properly and getting a good job.

And being the best mother possible.

Luckily, her own mom, Lily, agreed to help her, taking care of the children daily while Emily went to work.

After she had complained of course, that even she didn't have that many problems at such a young age of 23.
