I've blogged before. In another life. A long distant past where I pretended to be a crafty mum and perfect housewife. The reality was that I was failing at both but didn't want the cracks to show. You can't be a perfect housewife when your husband is so damn imperfect and you can't be crafty when your world is crashing down around your ears. It was three years ago now that I decided to take the brave step to leave all that behind me and become a single parent to five children. For a while I felt a failure. I could feel people judging me and felt like just another statistic. But slowly I've regained my confidence, brushed myself off and life is now back on a much more even keel than ever it was before. I'm enjoying being me without trying to be anything I'm not. I have nobody to answer to and life is happy. Don't get me wrong, it's bloody tough being a single parent to so many. There's never enough time, never enough money. But we get by and face each day as it comes and so far, so good!
