I did it.
I’m a single mum of 2 young children, I escaped a narcissistic ex, decided to try and gain a career in an area I previously had no experience in or real knowledge of.
It meant undertaking a full time masters degree whilst also working full time hours and today I got my results.

I got a DISTINCTION!!!!

I’m so happy I can’t stop crying (not helped by the fact I’ve drank a lot of red wine to celebrate Grin)

Not boasting but I’m so happy I really wanted to share BlushGrin

Best day of my life. Today is a new start

To escape a toxic relationship and become a single parent is awesome and I take my hat off to anyone who does that.

For you to support your family and study hard at the same time as all that, is indeed super awesome.

I'm adding to the congratulations everyone's offered and wish you every success in the future, with your career and your personal happiness @IfYouWannComeBack Wine Star Flowers Glitterball
