Coming out of a toxic relationship with two children involved has been the hardest chapter of my life. Right now, I’m navigating some of my darkest days—working as much as I can while facing homelessness and the pain of only seeing my kids during approved windows.
Some days, the weight of it all feels defeating. I left that environment nearly two years ago to reclaim my mind and my spirit, but the memories still feel like shadows I’m trying to outrun. I know things are better than they were—the toxicity is gone—but I find myself wondering: When does the ‘better’ part truly start to feel real?
I am sharing this because I know how isolating this path is. I’m fighting every day to be the mother my children deserve and the woman I know I can be. If you are walking a similar path, or if you’ve found resources and coping heartbeats that helped you get through the ‘no support’ phases, please reach out. Let’s remind each other that even when we feel alone, we don’t have to carry it all in silence.

Healing & moving forward.
