The Struggle to Find Love

Riley stood in front of her 8-year-old son, Roy, with a heavy heart, unsure if she was making the right choice. At 32, balancing life as a single mother and trying to find love felt like walking a tightrope.

Ever since her ex-boyfriend had walked out on her as soon as he found out she was pregnant, Riley had been left to raise Roy on her own. It wasn’t easy, but over the years, she had embraced being a mom and built a world around her son. Still, deep down, there was a longing — a desire for someone to share her life with, someone who would love her as much as she loved Roy.
