What happened and how did you show resilience?
Looking for inspiration!

Every day resilience being the lone parent of a SEN teen with Autism, ADHD, PTSD Social Anxiety, depression and separation anxiety who hasn't been to school for years and the never ending fight to get her diagnoses, EHCP, therapy etc. With no support, no time to myself ever and managing my own chronic illnesses and hospital visits, while also holding down my job and feeling like a terrible friend as it's really difficult to keep friendships going.

I had an awful year a few years ago

Mum died
Water pipe in the roof burst and took down the living room ceiling
Dh had a bike accident
Someone crashed into my car
A child we were fostering had no end of issues and ended up in a specialist unit
My dh father died

An awful year but we all got through it with a sense of humour and my marriage intact (actually it was probably stronger as a result).

The loss of my mum, being made redundant and being cheated on and dumped in the same year.

Oh how awful. I hope everything is OK now
