Sophie Turner recently sat for an interview with the Sunday Times, wherein she revealed that being a single mother is a struggle. To give you all a context, Sophie is on a promotional tour for her upcoming show, Joan, where she will play the role of 'Joan Hannington', who was a single mother. Talking about the role, Sophie added:

“If I hadn’t been a mother, I don’t know if I would have been able to bring the same energy that I did into it. It’s such a struggle being a single mother. Joan doesn’t go about it in the best way … but it is amazing to see her really fighting for her daughter."

Sophie Turner reveals that single mothers are shamed a lot by the society

Sophie Turner added that parents do a lot for their kids, and it is essential for them to understand that. There's a lot of shame that comes with being a single mom, as they are shamed for every single reason. If a single mom is working, she is shamed, and if she is not working, then she is held at fault. In Sophie's words:

"It’s also really important for kids to see just how hard parents work for them. There’s so much shame that comes with motherhood. You go to work, you’re shamed. If you don’t go to work, you’re shamed.”
