They Are Proud Of Me, but I'm Not Proud Of Myself

You should make a list of all the wonderful things you've done/have become in life. Whenever you feel down on your luck and disappointed in yourself, just look at the list and it'll uplift you into realizing what a great person you are again. Sometimes when we're down in the dumps, we forget the positive things we've accomplished and the positive things people have told us. That way, if you write a list, you'll always have something to look at and remember. :)

Hello craziestqueen! Good to know that you succeed in terms of your studies inspite the fact that you got pregnant at such a young age. That responsibility can never be beaten by anyone else younger as you. You are more lucky enough to have a parents as supportive financially, emotionally like them. I wish every parents is like your parents who are willing to do moral and encouragement to their families as they do to you. Your relatives are indeed proud of you because of all the trials and sacrifices you've been through with all the efforts and still manage to success. The question is that " you are not proud of yourself". I believe being a single mom here is not an issue but it is regarding of your career and your studies. Let me ask you, is it your ideal course you are taking up to or somebody choose it for you? Are you excited and interested to fulfill your leading future career? I mean, to graduate of our personal choice really helps us to be proud of ourselves not unless if it is someone choose it for us or rather parents choice for us, or due to demand of the society of modern days. Of course, they are the one who is proud of it but not our self. This drive me into asking you. Life is not that easy to please everybody... but do remember taking the step that makes everybody proud is quite relieving and fulfilling and of course worth building up confidence within.. and that is one way to say " i am proud of myself" i make them proud of me. Well, then, whatever your career line up to, just keep it going and enjoy the best out of it. Somehow it will be a strong foundation to build up for your successful future that you can always be proud of yourself and to everybody especially to your son of course. Cheers !!!

It is very good that your family accepted both you and your son, and I am sure that they will always be there for you no matter what you've done. We all do things in our lives that we're not proud of, but the most important thing is that you should make the most of the situation and make sure that you do everything that you can to be a good person. I am sure that you're an excellent Mother to your son, and that is something to be very proud of indeed, as it isn't easy to be a parent. You will have done lots of things to be proud of so please stop being so hard on yourself when you don't deserve it.

Although it is important to forgive other people for their mistakes, it is also equally important to forgive oneself for the mistakes you have made. So, start forgiving yourself, and with the acceptance of the people around you, you will soon find out why it all had to happen and eventually have peace in your heart. :)

You can become proud of yourself once you've achieved something you've worked hard for. But you shouldn't be too hard on yourself because you did make them proud of you. Maybe there is something that you've been wanting to do for a long time but couldn't get around to it? I do hope you will be happy about yourself in time. It's great that your family is very supportive of you.

If you succeed in all walks of life, your love ones are proud on you. Specially parents. Because what they struggle in the world because of his siblings. Remember always your love ones are in your side to protect you, so be proud of them, they let you continue studies even though you commit mistakes. You must be proud of your self because your guided by your love ones. Remember life is short. Anything we accomplish is the will of God. Pray to God, to enlighten your path, follow his commandments.

I think your feelings come from outside . i mean from expectations in life generally - we meet someone we fall in love we marry we have children.. you broke the mould so you feel out f sorts can i just say to you.. please dont feel this way. everyone leads a different life and it does no make yours bad or worse ok ) just accept your son as a gift and cherish his love and look forward t your life with your head high :)

People sometimes make some wrong choices in life. But no matter what they are, a true and loving family would always be there for you. They're proud of you also because it's not an easy thing finishing your studies while being a single mom. (I assume you are). And you should definitely be proud of yourself too. You didn't fold up but instead strove harder to graduate. And of course they're proud of your son also. He wasn't part of the mistake. In fact, he's the great result of that mistake :) A child will always be a blessing to any parent.
