I Hate Conflict

I grew up surrounded by conflict. When I was 7, my mum and dad split up and I was taken away from the place and the people that I knew and my mum met a new partner. She seemed happier than ever before. When I turned 14, the same conflict began to appear again. I understood it this time, so it was much worse. When I was 16, she left one morning without any warning and I didn’t see her for over a month. She left me with my step-dad without even saying goodbye to me. Thankfully, I’m really comfortable and happy with my step-dad. I’m not on speaking terms with my dad, but I do speak to my mum.

I'm saddened to hear things have turbulent for you... you have gone through so much already and I can't image what it must have been like. It might be strange to say, but I really believe that all those experiences will somehow turn into a positive eventually! It will be like a map showing you what not to do when your little one comes along...
