I am 29 and a single mother of a toddler and a 5 year old. My children are from separate relationships and neither have contact with their fathers (their choices). I've made some shitty life decisions and I take full responsibility for that. I have just come out of a period of severe depression where quite frankly, I was a rubbish mum. The kids and I are now doing well and we're happy. I feel really proud of myself for turning things around but still, life isn't exactly how I want it to be. I'm on benefits and live in a council flat. I have dreams of becoming a social worker. I have written down the steps that are needed to achieve this and I am starting with passing my driving test. I've been saving up to start as soon as lockdown is lifted and I've been revising the theory test online which is going well. I have emailed the local college about an access course which will then lead on to a university degree. Has anyone else ever been in a similar position or can provide me with any inspiring stories? My mother is a drunk and I don't have many friends believing in me, but I believe in myself. I won't let my children become another statistic.
