Oh Holly, you made me cry. 😢 I am the mother of three(16,15 & 10yo - and a 13yo Golden Retriever and 51 yo husband) I turned 51 this year and this article resonated with me. I have recently found myself coming up for air - probably due to my children getting older and COVID. I have been searching for something for me and realising that my younger self would be wondering who I am. I wouldn’t change having children and love them all but sometimes I do think of the lost years when you are in the trenches bringing up a young family. xx
