When my child is not here, I'm not a young mum trying to heal everything, help my son grow and break toxic cycles I am infact just a 21 year old girl.... it's a strange feeling when most of your identity is being a parent to realise you haven't actually found yourself at all. Do any other young mum's feel the same? Like sometimes I think, who am I and when will I finally find myself?
After reading this I've realised maybe I should become a poet 😆

Yep my first tastes of freedom when my little one stayed with her grandma or went kinder were very weird.. I didnt know what to do

This 100%! My daughter goes to her dads now every other weekend I’m always on the go when she’s with me I should catch up on things or rest but it’s like I sit in freeze mode waiting for her to get back I don’t know what to do with my time I’ve got no friends either which don’t help it’s so normal x
