Trio to Duo

I'm not going to sugarcoat it, I'm just going to dive straight in. You know that guy I'm always saying is amazing and who I love so much in pretty much every post on this blog? Yeah, we broke up! I won't go into the reasons why as there are so many and it's a private matter. I don't want to voice my opinions as there are two sides to every story and I don't want a huge West Side Story style turf war to break out between my friends and his. All you need to know is that I'm the one who broke things off.

It's nearly 2 months on from said break up and I'm actually perfectly fine. I'm living back with my mum and dad and my brother until he goes off to Uni very soon, I love being back in a positive family environment and Amelia seems very happy too, she loves her grandparents and is very smiley (most of the time).

Being a mum is like something I've never experienced before on one hand it's a beautiful, rewarding experience and on the other hand it's a bloody nightmare. Nah only joking, Amelia is actually a very good baby, she's nearly 3 months old now and is very smiley and interactive and is doing very well for her age. She's in a stage at the moment where she's quite clingy and grumpy but that means she needs more cuddles and that's absolutely fine with me.

It can be challenging doing it on my own but my family and friends help out when they can. If you're a single parent I now write directly to you. Things may seem challenging at times and some days you want to curl up in a ball and cry. But we are strong and can do this. Our children are the most important people in our life and our love for them will never run out. Live your best life, be happy and be the most amazing mummy/daddy ever. You are not alone.

There will be so many times you feel like you've failed but in the eyes of your children you are super mum/dad.
