Divorce is a life-altering event, and for mums, it can feel like the ground beneath your feet has vanished. For many mums, it can be a very traumatic experience. And trauma can leave deep emotional scars, affecting every aspect of a person’s life. For single mums, the challenges of healing from trauma are often compounded by the demands of parenting and managing a household alone. You’re likely juggling a whirlwind of emotions, practicalities, and the needs of your children. On top of that, past traumas can resurface, adding another layer of complexity.
