From people who came through it

  • “Sei que agora parece que não vais ter um minuto para ti. Eu também senti isso. O que me ajudou foi aceitar ajuda quando aparecia. Uma vizinha que ficava com os miúdos uma hora, uma colega que trazia sopa, o meu irmão que levava a Leonor ao parque. Não é fraqueza pedir. E tenta arranjar um cantinho na tua semana que seja só teu, mesmo que sejam dez minutos a ouvir um disco. Vais ver que esses minutos te salvam o dia.”

  • “If 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.”

  • “Hello 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.”

  • “Hi, you. I was where you are this time last year. Back then, their dad pays nothing. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. You're not on your own.”
