Naglabas si Kylie Padilla ng kanyang struggles as a single mom.

Sa kanyang Instagram account ay sinabi ng aktres sa isang lengthy post na napakahirap maging single mom.

Narito ang buong nilalaman ng post ni Kylie: “Single motherhood is the hardest. You’re mom and dad. Both nurturer and disciplinarian. But above all the protector. Even against your worst kind of self.

“Absolutely exhausted but must be always available. To regulate their emotions for them. Even when you don’t know how to regulate your own.

“Single motherhood is damn near impossible. When you are plagued with depression and anxiety. Or when you are filled with self doubt. And you feel completely isolated and alone. And like you’re failing your role as a mother.

“Mom guilt is the absolute worst. Because missing out is the worst. All you can do is make the small moments count. Let them know at every moment you can. That you love them.

“And pray to God one day they will grow to understand. You did your absolute best even at your worst.

“Being a single mom means trying to make everyone else look good. While you settle to become annoying and repetitive. And taking in that pain of knowing that you needed to be tough.

“Praying to God they would someday understand. Mama was crying too when you were throwing that tantrum. Mama was praying for you to grow tough and strong. Mama was praying for you all along. Mama can’t wait for the day when she tells you the truth.

“That it wasn’t mama that was the superhero. It was the complete opposite. That it was their love that kept saving her. It was them that was mama’s super hero.”

As we all know, si Kylie ay may dalawang anak sa estranged husband na si Aljur Abrenica — sina Alas (7) at Axi (5).
