Looking Back
Natalie Suleman began a major life transformation in 2013, admitting that she had been “foolish, immature, and selfish” in the past for having so many children without thinking about it. She also revealed that she hadn’t given much thought to the long-term consequences of her decisions at the time, but she has no regrets. Because her children are her top priority, Natalie continues to put her efforts into raising them. She has stated that she is content with her celibate lifestyle and is not interested in finding love at this time. On her social media account, people can see the kind of life she is leading now with her family and the beautiful lessons and values she teaches her fourteen children.
A Humble Life
It’s no easy task to raise fourteen children, but Natalie Suleman appears to be succeeding. She currently rents a two-bedroom apartment, and her entire family is on food stamps and lives paycheck to paycheck. After all of the challenges she faced raising so many children on her own, Natalie told the Daily Mail that she now feels “at peace,” partly because she can use her story to encourage and inspire women to make wise decisions. Natalie no longer likes the moniker “Octomom,” and she admits, “I didn’t want to live.” To survive and provide for my family, I felt less than human as that character I was pretending to be.”
