So glad you had a lovely time away and glad the the pups are good. I’m also glad to have you back.

Tomorrow, my baby is 21. I’d never admit it to her or Si but it’s actually a really bittersweet time for me. I had antenatal depression, along with a lot of physical issues and some scares, a very traumatic birth, and then severe PND for a very long time. I have the most incredible daughter that I’m so proud of and I’ve never, ever thought of any of the trauma as her fault, but I can’t help but have a part of me that dreads this day.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
You dread this day? Despite all these issues you brought a beautiful little girl into this world and raised her the best the woman she is today. I know you have had your issues and that she’s a daddy’s girl but you have still had a positive influence in her life and with you as her mum and female role model she can go on to be anything she wants to be. You’ve raised two strong women and should be proud.
Part of me dreads this….

That part needs to sit in the corner and be quiet lol
You are awesome.
And it's ok to do so. Well done for acknowledging those feelings. Knowing you though, I suspect that part of you feels guilty for those feelingsOriginally Posted by Paula

You got through all that and came out stronger with a wonderful daughter so raise a glass of your favourite tipple and enjoy this special day.

Can I ask why you are dreading it?
You know you're amazing.... I'm glad you're talking about it. It's so important.
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Because I’m beginning to realise I never dealt with it
