From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Dating feels impossible. That was my life. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.โ€

  • โ€œI was in the same place this time last year. My mum helps on Thursdays, every single day. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces.โ€

  • โ€œHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are a few years back. The worst part was childcare costs more than my wages. Yesterday I booked a holiday. Bit by bit it comes back. Sending love.โ€

  • โ€œA note for the next person. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. Their dad pays nothing, and I couldn't see past it. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart.โ€
