“I am doing the best I can with what i can”
This is my mantra after a loooooong week!!!
I’ve been working with teenagers for over 25 years and have one still at home and other at uni and can honestly say the heaviness with some teens at the moment is the most I’ve felt in a long time 😔
Having a child struggling with going to school for whatever reason is so incredibly hard I can personally relate.
As mums we wana fix it, make it better, remove the pain
💛We do say the wrong thing
💛We do shout
💛We do do things to try and fix
We do it because we love them deeply and want them happy and to have the best opportunities in life 💛
The purpose of this post is to give you a huge squidge from me to you from one mum to another saying it will be ok.
We can’t change the school system unfortunately it is what it is and we can only work with what we got and we are doing our best.
The fact they are taking to you, opening up to you is beautiful, take your strength from this and even though the nights maybe dark right now the beauty of new beginnings is in sight 💓, this will pass.
Look after you too gorgeous mama I just did a forest gump and ran the week off and it really helped. You matter too 💛
