AITAH for calling myself a “single mom”?

I was 16 when I had my 16 year old son, and the father refused to acknowledge/believe it was his kid, and my family literally disowned me so I was left alone with my baby

That being said, I had an uncle who had stopped talking to my mom (his sister) and he took me in and he and his wife helped me raise my son. I don’t know how I would’ve survived without them and I think they did most of the parenting (even though they strongly disagree with that sentiment).

Today I was talking to some people and I mentioned I was a “single mom”, and someone turned and said “thank you for your service” and said his mom was a single mom and worked her ass off for him, and then another woman there said she was a single mom and it was hell so she commended me. I just kind of sat there and nodded and said “thank you” but I felt horrible and really gross.

Sure, I was single and a mom but come on, I was living rent free in a heated home where I never had to worry about where my next meal would come from and had free babysitters who would watch the baby every Wednesday night so I could have one night to myself every week. I don’t know the struggles of a single mom and I feel like I’m trivializing and disrespecting the amount of work single moms put in when I essentially had a cakewalk of parenthood.

AITAH?
