Welcome to The Fellowship of Motherhood Blog!

Before Christmas I kept getting this feeling that I was missing something. My boyfriend of 10 years was acting differently. Or maybe it was just me?

Grief is a funny thing isn't it? No matter how much you think you've moved on, grief will come back around and swallow you whole. 

My mum and dad divorced whilst I was very young. I don’t really have a lot of childhood memories. My brain seems to have blocked quite a lot of them. 

Being a mum is not all sunshine and rainbows. It can be really isolating. Your self esteem will be deeply affected. You'll suffer mum guilt EVERY SINGLE DAY. You'll constantly lay awake at night and ask yourself questions like "did I do enough today? Did I play enough? Have my children received enough hugs today? Did they eat too many sugary foods? Why have I been shouting at them? Am I a good mum? Why is this so HARD? Am I loving them correctly? Am I nurturing them enough? Are they better off without me? " And you'll ask yourself sooo many more questions.
