My biggest mistake I made was accidentally getting pregnant at 20 years old, with no job, house or income. Let's just say, it sets you back quite a lot. However, I do actually love my kids a lot, so as hard as it was, there was a silver lining.

And the other silver lining is i'm not even 40 and my kids are almost grown up, I have a lot of freedom, whereas some of my friends are just starting their families, or struggling with infertility etc and I sort of see that and think what a drag at this age, having to change nappies and do night feeds etc. I'm so glad thats not my life.

You might be too modest to admit it: but your circumstances were a crash course in being resilient and resourceful.
That’s very true!
