From people who came through it

  • โ€œI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I stopped trying to be the perfect parent. good enough is enough. keep going, even slowly.โ€

    Hine J ยท been through single parenting
  • 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€

    Mei J ยท been through single parenting
  • 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€œPlease be gentle with yourself so I wasn't, and it made everything harder so I had to ask for help and it nearly killed me, but it was the right thing, and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€
