1. Strength in Independence: I am literally always reminded off my incredible strength and resilience. I am capable of handling any challenge that comes my way, and I am proud of the independence I have cultivated. Please keep reminding yourself of this too 💖
2. Unbreakable Bond: Being a single mum has truly allowed me to develop an unbreakable bond with my kids. Obviously you don’t have to be a single mum to experience this but it’s been a true part of this experience for me. We have a unique connection and rely on each other for love, support, and companionship,"part of her post read.
