There's definitely a stigma to seeing a counsellor and trying to heal from past domestic abuse, whilst been on reduced hours. The HR policy within work stating my sick record is high, but I know I am doing best I can for my son and I xx

We cannot afford the £3.66 chocolate eggs but instead we boiled for 30 mins some eggs then once cooled we decorated and painted them. My son 12 but time together is important. This can be hard when social media “create different social pressures“ of expensive eggs or lots of days out etc. I feel sometimes I am not “good enough“ parent as I cannot give my son “those experiences“ xx
