I've lived in a small temporary accommodation with my three teenage children for nearly three years. The environment is not the one I want my children to grow up in. People here have threatened them. I need to get us out of this place and into a stable home.
I feel like I'm finding my feet again after being in an abusive relationship with my children's father. What hurt more was that the abuse was not just for me, it was towards our children as well. Thankfully, the police stepped in and with the council supported us into the temporary accommodation. It's taken me a while to heal. Honestly, I would not say I'm completely over this ordeal but I'm ready to move forward with my life. I do not think you ever move past something like this. You just use it as fuel and motivation to succeed in the future.
I like doing hair, cooking and cleaning in my spare time. Communicating with others puts me in a good mood. I feel great. I like to challenge myself in many different areas, I like to expand my knowledge and learn new things that I didn’t know before.
One day I would love to open my own hairdressing or cooking business. Who knows, maybe both! For now, I'm focusing on finding a secure job in a warehouse and building towards a secure future for my family.
