Hi hope your all as well as can be.

Waiting all this time is really getting to me. With the school holidays about and trying to distance from people and children and family's I just feel I'm sat here wasting each day away . Waiting for the end . Then proberly wishing it hadn't came .

I really know know what this will bring moving ect and what job I would be able to get as I wouldn't want to do my old one. Being on maternity I can't really save so just been like a sitting duck.

I feel like I'm doing nothing . I'm caring for the children but proberly not the best fun they could be having.

There is really no point to this post other than maybe hearing how others have delt with this time or how they get along with daily life and what happens in the end xxx

Hi I'm on maternity leave aswel and still in the waiting stage. Its torture. Completely resonated with your post. Not much money to do anything. Being a first time mum and then suddenly being a single mum doing everything alone. Scary scary times

Knock was nearly two years ago for us. I was three months pregnant. He was on remand until sentencing which was the week I gave birth. All of this was during covid and I could count on my hands the numbers of times I went out in those six months, most of my trips were to midwife or hospital. I had covid as my excuse, my security blanket. I was so scared to look people in the eye incase they were able to tell what I was hiding.
Once my daughter was born I found that it was easier to get out because I knew it was what she needed. If I had my time over I would just continue life as normally as possible. It really wasn't healthy for me to be cooped up and despite him being in the media I've had no backlash. Get out and do some free stuff in the holidays, treasure hunts or events at the local library. You've done nothing wrong, hold your head high and live your best life. Enjoy your maternity leave, we don't get this time back. Sending love to you all xx
