That at the age of 35, I have just passed my maths GCSE!!

In the last year while doing the course, I’ve worked full time, with two children, and been in the most awful abusive relationship that I left 3 weeks before my exams started.

I was never allowed to stay for the full evening class, my ex would drive by the college repeatedly to check I was there, and put me through all sorts of horrible shit.

I needed this to be able to go on to do an access to social work course, and I did it!!

My children don’t really understand so thought I’d share with you lot instead!

Congratulations! What an achievement! It may not mean much to your children now, but when they are older they will realise they have an amazing Mum teaching them you can overcome so much!
