Thanks. Im now re-training too, want to go into midwifery. Always wanted that job, but have let other things hold me back. Ive just completed and passed my first maths exam, and got the next level exam in two weeks too. Doing english aslo, and got that exam in a couple of weeks.30 and just tarting again, but its all for my kids. Ive made myself go out to new courses and did a personal development 1. I went thru domestic violence support workers. They helped loads, and i did my first course with other women that had been thru similar things. It was gr8 to know there was others that understood you. I see things so much diferently now. Its definately made me stronger, although at times i want to cry,scream and crawl into bed
But i wont ever go back to the way my life has been. I often sit and have those feelings of guilt, as i blame myself for the girls not having a gd dad etc, but i know i cant change that.
