Love of my Kids

I got to a point after I chose to leave my partner when I nearly self harmed.

I thought of my kids and I didn't carry through with my plans to self harm, because they were still there and they were still relying on me. I could not do it to them.

I now attend counselling and live happily with my kids.

There is another way to work through the issues without turning to self harm and thereby spreading the hurt.

And the children have given me that strength and reason to keep going, to sort out my issues and be the parent they need me to be.
