If you've followed me for a while you'll know that I have been a single parent since 2019 when I decided to leave the boys Dad, it's still the best decision I've ever made and most definitely the right one for me and the children. I do have to say since being a single Mum I feel as though my relationship with my boys just gets stronger and closer every single day, we are a team and I know they adore our set up as much as I do. But that is what makes introducing a partner into that so incredibly important, you absolutely have to get it right as so many don't and the implications on children can truly affect them for the rest of their life. I've witnessed it sadly first hand on the other side of the parenting with the boys and I certainly was not about to put them through anything like that myself. That being said I thought I'd share my story and what I did do, it's generally a mystery from the outside isn't it? You see a casual arm on an instagram story then before you know it they're everywhere.
