Weird. My kid has moved out and my friends are only just having their own kids. I feel strangely free and still young, but also empty because all I know is life raising her. I didn’t experience my 20s the way most others did. You don’t really expect to mourn an empty nest before you’re 40.
I had two babies within 11 months, they were both born the same year.
Their bio father left during pregnancy, moved back to the country where we met with another girl.
I just turned eighteen when my youngest was born.
I had a loving, supportive family who were good role models for parenting.
I enjoyed motherhood from the beginning, it came naturally.
I also live in a country where having children as a teenager doesn’t prevent you from anything.
Education, kindergarten, healthcare etc. are free.
I was sahm three years with my kids, loved it!
After that first studied to be a nurse and later got my bachelor in social services.
My children are thriving in every way.
Only dark cloud was my ex husband, he was a childhood friend who was in love with me, wanted to help raise my kids and I thought he would be a good partner and a dad.
I was never in love with him, big mistake.
He became an alcoholic, very toxic one.
