So I posted this on Facebook today. I wanted to share with you.
I'm a single Mum of 3 kids.
I have had serious financial constraints.
I've suffered severe depression and anxiety.
I've been disrespected and taken advantage of and as a result developed massive self doubt.
I've messed up (or let's face it, really fucked up) more than once.
I do all of this (not completely, but mostly) on my own.
I get really pissed off because my brother isn't here to help me.
But!
All of this has made me stronger.
I'm not a victim.
I'm a fucking warrior!
I'm ready for battle! Of the most nurturing and loving kind!
I liked a meme I saw the other day: I never lose. I either win, or I learn!
I am ready to take all of this "learning" and make good of it.
I'm sharing because I want you to know life is not perfect. It isn't always great. But there is always hope. The best things don't happen overnight. Moving forward at whatever pace is still moving forward! A hiccup, a road bump, a hurdle aren't reasons to give up. They are lessons.
Take care my peeps. Love and be loved. ❤❤❤

I think this is awesome that you have found some good strenght I salute you .. awesome mumma
However with the whole brother thing I would not get too uptight... there your kids your family and as much as we want the help it hardly ever surfaces.. I have learnt not to rely on others even family as it just will dissapoint you. He too will have his own life issues soo keep strong and keep smiling and try not allow the brother thing effect you pump that annoyance in to you and how much more awesome you will be without his help x
Thank you. I guess that part is not very clear if you don't know me.
My brother was killed in a car accident when he was 19.
Sometimes t feel pissed off because he is one person I could 100% rely on.
It is very liberating when you realise you can only count on yourself though so I do get your point.
