From people who came through it
“Please 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.”
Noel P. · been through single parenting“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I told my siblings exactly what I needed instead of hoping they'd notice and go slowly.”
hillamber78 · been through single parenting“I was right where you are in 2023. Sick days with no backup. That was my life. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back. x”
snowmoon59 · been through single parenting“I 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.”
