I live with my teenage children and my mum, who had to move in because of ill health, having lost my dad a few years ago. My divorce goes through next week – I’ve been separated for a year – and I have a new partner who I met at work. Working full-time means I’m juggling home and family life. It’s a constant cycle, as many people will know.
I like to spend time with my partner at his place, as it’s much quieter, but I feel guilty because I know I have stuff to do at home. My mum helps out where she can but is quite overbearing and tries to take over, which my kids rebel against.
