“It’s my 16th year this year of being a step mum. Two now big challenging, kind, funny boys. I put off trying for my own child as we had them every weekend and i was just tired and didn’t feel i had the energy to have a 3rd. When we did eventually try it never happened.
The boys gave me so much, i would never change a thing now as they were meant to be my family. But i had no one in a similar situ like you and i found it hard. I lost my mum 5 years ago. She was the best human being, she prepared me so much for losing her but doesn’t mean i don’t miss her every day. I just tell myself on mother’s day it’s one day that like Valentine’s day is made up and doesn’t change the memories i have. I may never have been called mum but i have been lucky in so many other ways. Thanks Kate for being so honest and sharing your ups and downs and bringing us all together xx”
