What has been your proudest moment?

Just interested

Yours first.

Watching my son graduate, he’s adopted and when we adopted him the social workers said some awful things about the potential of adopted children. He overcame so much to get there.

Our other son has LD and ASD he needs a lot of support. Seeing him flourish in ways which are small for most kids are amazing and I’m so proud of him.

Singlehandedly having and then paying off my mortgage by my mid-40s.

It felt surreal then and still does a bit now, several years on.

After being told I was thick,useless and wouldn't amount to much,I graduated my college course (which isnt much to others,but meant the world to me)

I worked bloody hard for those qualifications-I went through some hellish trauma and still managed to graduate

(Of course my narcissistic mother just couldn't help herself and told everyone id doled out bjs to the tutors to get them-it was an all female tutors course but lets not allow the truth to get in the way)

Passing my viva and being awarded my PhD

I had a very abusive mother. My biggest fear I had was that my children would dislike me when they were adults. I was baby sitting for them so that the three of them could go out. When they came back, slightly tipsy, they told me that they had been sharing memories of their childhood. They all agreed that they wanted to raise their children in the way they had been raised,

They are in their 50s now and we are still closer.
