21岁时，我离了婚，作为一个单身妈妈，我为我和儿子的生活而努力。

I was divorced by the time I was twenty-one and as a single parent tried to make a life for me and my son.

我问妈妈，为什么我们生活得那么简朴，当时完全没有意识到，对于一个带着两个儿子的单身母亲而言回答这个问题是多么痛苦。

I asked my mother why we lived with such modest means, unaware of how painful it must have been for a single parent with two young boys to field such questions.
