She did it! This little superstar had her first day back at school today after twelve long weeks of being home with me.
.
I am so monumentally proud of her. She faced all of her challenges, managed to stay there for the full day, and has even said that she wants to go back tomorrow.
.
Her resilience, bravery and determination are qualities that I hope she keeps with her forever. I've told her (and her sisters) over and over again that they can do hard things and today she proved to herself that she can do anything she puts her mind to
.
I'm hoping with all my heart that this is the first step along a path that takes her back to being my happy little girl again.

The teeny, tiny details will forever be my favourite thing to capture. I want to remember it all.

"Trust the timing" is a phrase that has been showing up in my world for several months now.
.
I've waited and encouraged and explained and hoped and held space and gently nudged and wiped away tears and given cuddles (and got frustrated and cried my own tears and begged and felt lost).
.
I knew she wouldn't do it until she was ready. I knew she would have to be the one that made the choice. I knew she'd get there eventually.
.
After twelve long weeks of refusing school, she's decided to go back. Just for one day to try it out and see how she gets on. Baby steps. But still progress. And for that, I'm grateful.

How often is too often to daydream about moving to this magical place? *Asking for a friend*

*Deep breath*
.
Today I officially reported to the police some things that happened to me half my lifetime ago, when I was 19 years old. It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do - I didn't want to give the things that happened the labels that, deep down, I knew they needed. There are various reasons why I've chosen to do it now even though I know it's unlikely to go any further after all this time has passed.
.
There are also various reasons why I'm choosing to share these images now - I've thought long and hard about it and done a lot of soul-searching before going ahead.
.
I wasn't going to - my daughters and their friends follow me on here and I wasn't sure I wanted them to know. And then I realised that that's exactly the reason why I NEED to share my experience - I want to teach them to speak up and use their voice. I don't want them to ever feel that they need to stay quiet, like I did.
.
Staying quiet for so long has allowed the shame to grow. I'm hoping that taking this step might help me begin to find some peace.
.
And if speaking up instead of staying quiet helps one other person take the brave step of sharing their story and begin the healing process too, then it's worth it.
