Dear daughters,
There is very little you can go through in life that I won’t understand.
– I have grown up with an emotionally abusive father
– I suffered from agoraphobia, panic attacks and anxiety so bad that I missed most of my final year at school
– I was raped
– I tried to commit suicide
– I lost my mum when I was 21
– my father disowned me
– I went bankrupt
– I survived domestic violence
– I have been sued
– I have been divorced
I have hit rock bottom many times and every time I have come back stronger. I’m not telling you all this so you feel sorry for me or to shock you. I am telling you so you know you can come to me with anything and I will have empathy and understanding for you.
At times you will feel like you can’t keep going, it will all feel too hard but trust me, it’s worth getting up for. The good will be worth going through the bad. You three kids are my reward for going through hard times.
Please know whether I am earth side or in heaven, I will do everything I can to help get you through. Reach for me… I will be there.
Love always, mum xxx
