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

Thank you so much Smile I haven’t stopped crying since I got my results about 2 hours ago.
I’m overwhelmed. Your comments have made me feel the best I have in years.

And do you know what the best part is?
My 9 year old DD said to me before bed “Mummy you’re a superhero, I hope I grow up like you”
I bawling.
This is a fresh start for us. I can apply for much better jobs and I feel like I’ve really achieved something. It’s been so hard but so worth it.

For anyone else considering retraining / getting a degree/ or LTB my advice is DO IT!!!
