It’s been a tough time for Meghan King amid her ongoing divorce from Jim Edmonds… but she’s resolved to push through it, all the same!
The Real Housewives of Orange County alum opened up on social media on Sunday afternoon, revealing the tough time she’d been having coming to terms with Mother’s Day as a single mom quarantined with “three screaming toddlers.” Awww!

Writing to her fans and followers in an emotional and very raw Instagram post on the holiday itself, the 35-year-old proud momma opened up a little bit, and let her vulnerable side show. Admitting she’d never envisioned being single and doing things on her own on a day like this, the reality TV star wrote (below):
“I wasn’t looking forward to this Mother’s Day. Quarantined with 3 screaming toddlers for 9 weeks while trying to work hasn’t exactly been a prime environment for me to feel like I’m earning any mother-of-the-year awards. Being prisoners in our home has killed our spirits and crushed our souls. Then add this: it’s my first Mother’s Day I’m spending without a partner, something I NEVER envisioned. ‘Families are created out of unconditional love’ I thought. ‘Two parents weather life’s storms but always remain together to celebrate the subsequent rainbows’ I thought. But that is not my story and that makes me feel deeply regretful — like I failed my children by not giving them a nuclear family.”
Wow. That’s very, very real. And it’s even making us emotional! You deserve a hug, girl!!!
Fortunately, Meghan was determined to see the good side of all the drama — and she continued on from there in finishing her message on IG:
“But today I am refusing to dwell on mistakes and shitty situations I can’t control; today I control my reaction. I miss my step-kids who made me a mother before I had children of my own and I am sending them so much love. I miss my freedom. And I mourn the loss of what could’ve been. But despite this I look at my beautiful tribe with pride because I am a mother to three incredible kids and I’m the only one they’ve got. To all the mamas out there, I lift you up in solidarity for the all the hard times and in celebration of the good times. Hats off to us today, for all the hats we wear. ? ? ???”
Amen to THAT!!!

Clearly, the fallout from her ongoing divorce has taken its toll mentally on the Bravo personality, and we’re all susceptible to weak moments from time to time.
Here’s hoping the former reality TV star and her fam stay on the right track moving forward! We’re optimistic that things WILL get better — for mothers, in quarantine, and all around the world!
Keep pushing, Meghan! It’ll get better!
