Highlighting the little things we do like this has made me realise they are the big things and what our children will remember. My boys are 19 and 15 now. They remain conflicted, but they know. Your validation is immense, empowering and important.
As ever, thank you Emma! Your writing has kept me going many a difficult time. Knowing that my experience is not in my head, but widespread and evidence based is everything at times!
This article was very welcome to boost my self confidence and reminded me how hard I'm still fighting. After a difficult weekend where my kids were with the perpetrator and I had to organise my 7yo daughter's birthday party while her father strutted around taking all the glory, this article brought me the validation that no one else seems to be able to give me. However, my daughter did come to me afterwards and whispered in my ear: "you should organise everyone's birthday party always and you're the best mum ever!" She knows. Thank god she knows...
