How I broke the cycle of abuse aged 25.
When I was twelve I had a sleep over at my friends house and her Mom gave us biscuits and painted our nails whilst we watched a film. I sobbed because I wanted a Mom like that. I wanted warm hugs and sympathetic eyes, I wanted to feel loved and valued.

Parenting tips from a Nanny
I have a bachelors degree and I am qualified to teach primary school children. I loved teaching and I absolutely adore working with children but with the ever-increasing workload and the actual pay (for the total hours you work) being not much more above minimum wage, I decided to move away from teaching.

What it's like to be divorced in your twenties.
I remember being sat where you are right now. My husband was on his second affair (he was an awful liar so it wasn't like he could ever hide it) and I was tired. There were so many complications.
