Actresses like Elly Tran, Trang Tran, Mai Phuong, MC Thuy Minh... have also made the audience mistakenly think that they are single mothers, but they have spoken up to correct this information.

Regardless of the circumstances, the strength and courage of women, when shouldering financial responsibilities, balancing personal love life and children, truly makes outsiders admire.

After the divorce, Hien Thuc raised her child alone but she was always optimistic. |
Even Hien Thuc, a singer who is always optimistic and radiant, once shared with the press about the difficult time, accepting a low salary to have more income to raise her children. “I spent 2 years living in fear and raising my children in despair… I had to sing at music venues, with a salary of only 30-550 thousand VND. I sang every day, sometimes running 4-5 shows. Strangely, I did not feel sorry for myself when comparing myself with my previous position. I told myself to accept this price. Because I had to earn money to raise my children, to take care of them properly.”

Besides financial worries, taking on two roles alone is also an unspoken concern of women raising children alone. MC Thuy Minh, an intelligent, individualistic and confident person, once had the concern: "Am I good enough in the role of a mother, especially when the baby's father is not around?"

Not wanting to be bound by marriage, MC Thuy Minh admits that there are times when she feels sad without a man by her side. |
"During my pregnancy, I cried more than usual. I cried because I was hungry and no one bought me food in the middle of the night. I cried because I was about to film and threw up in the toilet. I cried because I felt sorry for myself, because sometimes I wanted to be a normal mother who didn't accept 'bad reputation'..." - MC Thuy Minh once shared emotionally.
MC Thanh Van Hugo has a more difficult situation. Raising a child alone is already difficult, but recently she also discovered that her eyes are getting dimmer and she will most likely lose her voice in the future. During sleepless nights, thinking about the future, she cannot hold back her tears because she feels sorry for herself and her little son. The female MC confessed: "When the darkness falls, the child falls asleep, and she is left alone, she feels sad and helpless in the face of loneliness.

Perhaps the journey of being a single mother should only be a forced situation, not a deliberate choice of women. Listening to their confidences, we can see that the strength and perseverance are just a facade, the tears hidden inside are so terrible...
