Well you have to really, don&#8217;t you? And it&#8217;s OK, it really is. My new reality. Good days and not so good days, but I feel like the worst has happened and I&#8217;ve survived. Looking back I almost don&#8217;t know how I did it. But I did. One day at a time. One step at a time. I learned a lot. I was hurt, very hurt, by the way one member of my family behaved, but I am putting that all behind me and looking resolutely forwards. Best foot forward. That&#8217;s what mum would have wanted, it&#8217;s what she would have told me to do. At least I think she would. If she had been able to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know, it&#8217;s lovely to be back.
