Almost a year after moving out from my ex-husband, I thought I was finally getting life steady again when I got served a Section 28 notice.
That little letter meant my landlord could just ask me to leave, no reason, no appeal.
After everything I’d been through, it hit hard.
It had already been a mission getting a home in the first place. My nervous system was fried, my head was full of admin and grief, and trying to juggle the kids, work and paperwork just tipped me over.
I didn’t manage to get sorted in time, and we ended up without a home for a while.
Me and the kids sofa surfing. A few weeks of making do, pretending it was an adventure, but inside I was exhausted.
Then came a flat in Northumberland. Not perfect, but it was welcomed. A place to be together, to get back into our loving bedtime routines and somewhere to use my own pota and pans!
We stayed nine months before moving again, this time to a flat through a friend. I thought that would be a breather, but it was cramped, dark, and so far from what I wanted to create for my kids and myself. We managed to create fun and connection in that little space. And the light of me and the kids meant we actually did a pretty good job at turning this stop gap into a cozy haven of safety.
And now, three weeks ago, everything changed.
We moved into the most beautiful three-bedroom house, twenty minutes walk from the kids’ school.
We can walk together in the mornings now. The garden has trees. There’s light, space, possibility.
The landlord is kind, supportive, and genuinely wants this to be a home we build together. It’s safe. It’s creative. It feels like it wants us here.
I’ve realised how much expansion happens while moving through these messy life lesson portals.
Throughout all of it I’ve kept working, supporting, holding others, growing.
And now it’s my turn to be held.
From sofa surfing to sacred space.
From survival to expansion.
I’m home.
And I can feel everything opening again.
