Wowee! some turbulent times there, i'm so pleased that you both are now at a good place.
It's funny how you do look back on even the blackest of times with fondness sometimes.
Hmmm, 5yrs ago.... I was in a job I hated with people I loathed.
My sis was ill (undiagnosed coeliac) and doing a masters but always made time to come round and cheer me up.
I felt very trapped but she convinced me to go to college, I thought it mad at 36 but in 08 took a mature access course 5 GCSE's in a year!
My daugher was doing hers at the same time so we helped each other, it was great!
I passed all 5 with a-c grades, having a big head about that (haha) I decided to do a foundation degree in 09 and graduated in october last year.
I was so proud of myself
This year I have done some further training and am now desparate for a career!
My daughter went to uni last month and I miss her like crazy...
I still have the boy here though (yey)...lol
So yeah, thats it discovered TIBB in jan and have been the bain of your lives since
