Dealing with heartbreak in a pandemic is not fun. But there can definitely be some positive things about it.
I have been saddened to hear of so many relationships (single mums with new partners) ending in the last couple of months.
In this week's episode, I tell you about the ending of my relationship and how I overcame those initial weeks - dealing with heartbreak in a pandemic.
You are not alone xx

My guest in this week's episode has been a single mum for two and a half years. She has two daughters, aged two and four.
In part 1 of this two-part episode, my guest shares her experience with domestic violence, and specifically the sexual abuse she received from her partner of over 10 years. She left him when she was 8 months pregnant with her second daughter.
This is her story.
She also shares how her experience led to her interest and research into psychology and neurology, the support she received from Lifeline and 1800 Respect, and how she learned about domestic violence and came to the realisation that she herself was in an abusive relationship.
Part 2 will be released next week.

In this week's episode, my guest from last week continues to share her story.
Last week we discussed the evolution of the relationship that my guest had with her (now) ex-husband, and how one day, six years into their relationship (and completely out of the blue), my guest's (then) husband told her that he wanted to take up cross-dressing, and how over time, he came out as transgender. We also discussed how she handled her husband becoming a woman, becoming a lesbian (by default), having a son (now aged five) and why they ultimately broke up.
In this episode, the conversation continues. We discuss how her ex and the new partner of her ex ended things and how that resulted in a final try to make things work between my guest and her ex. The "what if it could work out after all?" question still lingered, and whilst it didn't work out in the end, it did bring a resolution to her relationship that had not existed before.
We also discuss co-parenting, and how that looked when they lived together again but weren't in a relationship anymore, dating, the best part of single parenting and the challenge moving forward, plus so much more.
This is a Part 2 of a two-part episode. You can listen to Part 1 HERE.
