Wow.. bless to see you staying strong and positive. Keep up your achievement and success by going through tough time. A single mom with 3 kids. Heads up to you.. God bless and cheers..

[@weili3]

I was brought up by my single mother. I can feel your emotions and drive to survive. I wish you the very best in life with your young kids!

[@mokhtaramin2011]

Overcoming such challenges at a relatively young age is impressive. I luv your Dad. Cool man. Please don't be upset with your Mom's reaction, it's honest and she did play a major part in ur life and made u what u are. I wish you luck and success in your endeavours. Well done 👍

[@RealMadrid008100]

She feels like giving up but she does not. That is a sign of her strength. Massive respect.

[@mylife5237]

A man who leaves a woman with kids is a scumbag. When you're father, kids are priority, nothing else matters.

[@ILovePlayingZeldaGamesOnSwitch]

May your business grows more.

[@jiarui1312]

Through her bff Tammy, I bought her nutella cookies, which is really really good! Worth trying!!! But with all the hardships u faced with the past, makes u a better person towards the future! U go girl! Jiayou!!!!

[@liu.dadong768]

An amazing woman. Strong and beautiful. It's your ex husband loss right leave you. His loss. Don't look back. U are doing so much better now.

[@leechengho8407]

You're very right, her hard-hearted ex-husband leaving this exceptionally courageous lady with 3 children, will definitely live to regret.

[@stuartrodrigues4095]

You’re a beautiful mama. Stay strong babe

[@eugene4261]

Jiayou to this fabulous and strong mum! 💪

Thank You for sharing this story it brought tears to my eyes ,I can relate on every level. Your perseverance has been everything to me in just 8 mins. God sees the struggles,the tears,the heartache,the lonliness. When He rewards He will Bless You infront of all the people who thought you would not make it. Never give up. Stay Strong.

[@abdulfattah4276]

Strong and cheerful women👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@sgfuture9472]

Being a mother is no easy task, so just imagine how hard it is when you have to do it all alone. Nothing prepares them, but they do it anyway... Single mums are Heroes...

[@sumit6190p]

So true and imagine being a mother at 18.

[@eatdrinkrunwalk]

Dun forget single dad's as well....we are also super heroes

[@Nicholson12345]

ALL moms are heroes -.-

[@m1xxified]

I want to give her 1 more baby

[@eatdrinkrunwalk]

@@m1xxified How is it possible when ur small head is still underdeveloped?

[@paperluvxhearts8510]

Such a pretty and strong lady. Very likeable

[@antoinesimeon728]

Keep going Pelyn! We'll be here for you! My mother was virtually in caring for her 4 children, alongside her parents, or our grandparents. We have all made it through. You can too girl!

[@ssvegeto1610]

i want to say the husband or whoever decided to have the 2nd child whilst she was still studying AND working shift is damn irresponsible and ought to be smacked honestly. On top of the 1st young child too. Condoms exist for a reason, just cause you're married doesn't mean you can't use them anymore.

[@JLWWANG]

Salute to all single parents 🖖

[@pokemonsr9]

What shcoked me was that she continued to have 2nd and 3rd child lols. Kinda.. erm.. idk? Lols

[@BadBoy-so2pq]

i wonder those 3 kids same father or not lehhhhhhhhh............this gal not simple lehhhhh

[@pwct321]

@@BadBoy-so2pq i think should be same father as she married the boyfriend after 1st kid was born. They only divorced after 3rd kid born. She mentioned my then boyfriend and future ex-husband, so I think all the kids should be from same father. And she is pretty even as mother of three.

[@skg901]

6:28 The way she said - "definitely"... Says a lot about her...

[@VictorThang-b5p]

I will support you. Lt gifted son sent by the Lord Jesus Christ to my family is very very intelligent. He is 19 yrs old now. If yr children problem with study... Come to my wife and son. Don't think about marriage anymore, love Jesus Christ nd Satan will get away from you and your children. Amen Hope oneday your husband will regret a'd come back to you. Amen

[@trufflett803]

ya i ate her nutella cookies i swear i need somemore

[@Interloper322]

Pump and dump x3 lmao.

[@mikedice69420]

How can the ex husband leave that 😍

[@thomasthampengkintham452]

life is a journey, good and bad times, it was tough but you overcome it, have faith, stay strong and believe i your inner self and ask God for wisdom. Good luck and God speed u and your three lovely kids.

[@jessicalang7320]

She is a divorcee and hence a single parent. Single mother is one who has children out of wedlock.

[@maryngshwuling9916]

What a remarkable woman 🌈

[@dnrgarments-hunt5635]

So Heartwarming. U go girl!

[@Laorealestate]

Very beautiful and positive! You go momma!!!!

[@atkins8644]

You have done out of mother love that there is no other love can substitute. Your strength will be their strength. Just keep doing the right thing not to sway into sin. You will surely and slowly see abundance in time to come.

[@steventay5834]

I will feel very sad for her if I am her dad. But I will take good care of her and her children

[@simonloo1588]

Her story is quite unique but I find her personality very cheerful and strong . Kudos and it helps that she is pretty too

[@thomashay79]

U are a real super woman... Salute!

[@huffingting]

Her beauty is over shadowed by that toughness, like a statue 🗽🗿

[@mohdyusuf1865]

As a man,woman must be well educated...be strong n independent...if you want to marry ,go ahead...for marriages are all not made in heaven...if you can live alone...go ahead ...as a muslim myself...i feel sometomes women are not treated well n fair...well done my child....may life be always good to you n your children

She might have sacrificed her precious youth but she gained more time with her kids. That's a fair trade.

Your brother is a fighter, but i didn't know you are one too! All the best!

She is wasted on her ex husband. He dont deserve her at all

[@socheezy3407]

Is she open to suitors from a different race?😄☺

[@eliteprogamer27]

Funny when you see people you know on KZbin, my mother is friends with her and I am very good friends with her son since they were in the same school and got pregnant around the same time but my father is still married to my mother and I am a single child

[@eliteprogamer27]

The eldest son

[@mabeldin7891]

You are proving alot of women that life can be charged with positivity as long as you keep moving forward. I had thoughts of giving up too and also brought alot of insurance just in case.. But having a child stopped me. I had those sliver linings too. Hahaha. Anyway, if i am a insurance agent, I will target single mother. Hahaha

[@fonderlays7671]

Become bastard without father haha
