Hello Roukaya. It’s difficult but that is the hard reality you can only change and control your own life and knowing that gives you power. Make your life how you want it to be and put your own needs first and hopefully you will then have a more harmonious relationship with your mother. I hope your studying is going well and you are able to focus on this.
Hi Roukaya, I have had the same experiences as you . Only child of a very harsh tongued difficult mother. For 20 years I drove ,from Cambridge to London every weekend, to help her and check on her as she became quite demented. If I was 10 minutes late she would not speak to me.She refused to come to live near me and my children as we are”peasants”. No one really helped me. I have heart disease and persistent AF.
Anyway after trying teams of expensive carers ( terrible experience in Finchley) A gerontologist insisted on my mother going into a nursing home. I felt so guilty but it was the best thing and should have been done years before.
The home was superb !! They looked after me and my anxiety as well as caring for her . After 4 years at 98 she died , I was there. Even in her last days she fought against death and shook off my hand of comfort. The nuns and a wonderful priest ( they ran the home)
saved my sanity.
I wept eventually , but it was not for her death it was for the mother I wished I had had.
So , I understand. Do your best for her , else you feel guilty but , keep your space and throw yourself into something that makes you feel worthwhile!
Let other professional bodies like age concern and gerontology departments take some responsibility , you have to work hard to get help but it is worth fighting for.
My Mother lives overseas but she is not totally isolated
I think in U.K. I spent my forties caring for my Father and managing his business
Now as I approach fifty one I am very much on my own isolated and I have a Mother who has a a few properties which are getting her down
As I managed up to 15 by myself I try to help
I have also realised being an only child is a lonely life
I have chronic anxiety and lack of self confidence which has ebbed away over the years
I have trying to attain a Diploma in Wills and Probate whilst losing my Father and taking on Mums responsibilities and this has caused me to fail for three years successively
I think I come across as depressed but in reality I lack the confidence and anxiety have made me like this today
I realise you understand the guilt but our parents know exactly what they do to us
It is some kind of unmentionable power and hold
I am tired of applying for jobs abs being knocked out because I am nit confident enough or represent their image
I used to volunteer for Age UK and I am thinking of setting up a little legal practice by employing a retired Wills and Probate solicitor to give accessible and affordable legal advice
I do not have a clue but I would like to do something worthwhile with a small inheritance I received from my Father
Thank-you for sharing your experience. Your succinct analysis of mourning the parent you'd wished you'd had, resonates chillingly. I have not yet achieved that place, but I have found the title for my book.
Writing the book will be as cathartic as it will be painful. A recent appalling event of such wickedness that has caused so much distress, after 33 years of estrangement that two months down the line, the distress just goes on and on like ripples on a pond. It was the day I had always feared with deep dread.
Well, it's happened and it's cured me of any last shred of love or compassion.
And I've discovered the title of the book I have to write.
It's a 'portrait of a Sociopath', my father and how I've survived.
As for lockdown, well I had thought of learning Swedish or Danish... But I completed my wardrobe restoration/conversion, even adding internal lights. It's gorgeous and I love it. Faxing at if is better than watching TV!
When my book comes out, I shall send you a signed copy.
These strange people who do not deserve us as their offspring, abound...sadly...there are do many of them, as Shakespeare said "their name is Legion"... Perfectly expressed again!
I'm in the wilds of Wiltshire, a stone's throw from Avebury, no pun intended! Ha ha ha!
We do have a layer of the infamous Cambridge clay running through the local area though! Went to look at foundation solutions on Saturday. It was like having Disney World all to myself! Huge indoor area with houses built inside demonstrating all different kinds of build materials... We were the only folk there! It was surreal. Had a chance to pull up chairs from the empty cafe to sit in front of the buildings to observe all the special features! Great food for thought. Looking at a 'pod system' as a foundation base...
Never a dull or quiet moment here!
Poppy the 🐈 X
Should you happen by the area, we could pull up a chair outdoors and discuss foundation solutions and book covers... I have a good idea of my book cover too! ;0)
Hi Poppy , I don’t know what “foundation solutions” are ! Is it to do with the ancient sites? Avebury and Stonehenge? Lovely area to live !
I did not have such an educational day.
I had xrays in Addenbrookes . Long awaited , lord knows when I’ll get results . It was an eerie experience no one around , empty clinics no one in x ray.
My daughter walked across London to a booked National Gallery trip . She was overwhelmed by the welcome she got and burst into tears of joy at being “ out” and having the joy of being able to walk round empty galleries and be able to stand and stare!
As to your book ....... I am intrigued!!!!Want to know more!! I am a painter as it happens with a degree in book illustration . I write a lot too!
I know nothing about the legislation in the UK, but your idea seems very good to me: go ahead with confidence and concreteness, be ready to change direction and adapt yourself to the context. I appreciate very much that with your future job, you plan to take care about the poors’ needs!
Hi Roukaya, I hope your studies are going well. It's good that you have come to the realization that your mum's habits will never change. You can now start making the changes to your life that you need. As you know it is in your hands and you don't have to wait for approval from anyone. Hopefully you will be able too enjoy some of the things you use to like doing as we are coming out of lockdown, so, something to stay positive about. 😊🌼🌸
I think I have realised that I have always tried to help both parents to my own detriment
In September I will be resitting for the fourth attempt I am ashamed to say
But through Lock Down even though I realise my Mother is 72 she can still manage and I must learn to realise to focus in trying to pass and find a years work experience or even consider setting up a small legal practice as Age U.K. is closed
I am saddened with the burden my Mother faces but there is a limit as to how much I can do
Dont feel ashamed Roukaya. It's the people who fail at something and get up brush themselves down and try again that succeed in life. You have determination and that's nothing to be ashamed of x
Good morning Roukaya, I am fine thanks. Don't be ashamed, I think it's it's great you are resitting your exams again. I think I remember you saying you have been practising with past exam paper's. So, use every spare moment you have to revise, work hard at it. Even if you are tired or feel you can't be bothered, go that extra mile and put the time into it as it will pay off with your grades. I am really hoping the best for you at your resits and have confidence you will reach your goal finally. I do hope you let us all know. You have not given up so you have much to be proud of in yourself. You are right about your mum. You are limited to what you can do. So stay focused with your revision and your goals in life. 👍😊🌼
You have no need to be ashamed. You keep trying and now you are studying regularly you are much more likely to succeed next time. Just don't let that mother of yours distract you!
That's a very helpful mindset to have. Taking responsibility for yourself and your life and the choices you are able to make is a very empowering feeling. Kudos to you 👍✨
Hi Roukaya I hope this site helps you and reading your story you sound just like me and you have the right attitude and it has helped me too so thank you. Stay safe. Anna. X
I would be very interested to know how my story has helped you
Last Thursday I met one of my friends in the park for a walk, chat and ice cream and we got chatting and she had asked me was I still getting punished by my parents after I had stood up to them back in May last year all because I wouldn't give them their own way about the toxic job I left last December and I said yes I was and how I feel it's a favour as its nice having peace and quiet and said how I think that kind of behaviour is ridiculous acting like spoilt children and how their attitudes aren't my problem and how I have come to accept myself how I can't control other people and only my own behaviour.
Oh dear I empathise as my mother was very verbally abusive too. I left home at 18 and struggled quite a lot but eventually got therapy. I limited contact with her for many years but in my 40's moved to be closer to my only family (both parents and 3 sisters).
Of course she kept trying her little games, but forgot I was now an adult and very capable of dealing with her. When humour and lots of hints didn't work I was self assertive with her and she soon stopped her nonsense with me. She did however continue infantalising one of my sisters.
I think it's great to have a goal in life and I wish you much success.
Hi I wasn’t an only child but I might has well being. My mother never wanted a daughter even so one that looked like my dad. I grew up getting told if it wasn’t for you. The day after my dads funeral she said he’s no longer here. So you have no reason to visit this house. That was 20yrs ago. You can’t pick your family only your friends. You do what you want. Look after number one and your children and give them what you never got. All the love in the world 🙂
My Mother I will always do my best for her but as she is overseas there is a limit
I think it is because if I do not try with my life it will be too late
Also I will never come to terms how she put a male friend ahead of me and when she realised he targeted her for her Assets, I stood up to him but the hurt never goes away given the raging temper I endured from her because of him
So for that reason I will focus on what matters but never forgetting how our parents treat us
I found myself how it's when they can do things no problem but won't is when it hurts not when they physically can't do something which is something I can accept but can and won't and always having an excuse to hide behind is when it hurts.
Think I may have missed something Roukaya, there has been no mention of your tenant who I understand you were struggling with. Have they gone or has the situation now settled down
You seem to be coming to terms with things here, but the loneliness is becoming too much. I notice that your mother is younger than I am and can only think that she must have more problems than the ones she is presenting to you; her behaviour can't be due to her age. She is so lucky to have a daughter that she can rant and rave to on a daily basis. It's unfortunate that you are the only one!
I was saddened to learn that Age UK had closed yesterday as Social Services had just passed on their phone number to get some help for myself. Perhaps they will open up again in the future. All we can do for now is to put ourselves first. I do hope you are successful with your retake that is coming soon, and that one way or another, you get back into the working world.
I think I have cared and managed the properties of my Father in my forties he has now gone and my Mother is taking his place
I was quite destabilised before always visiting Mum trying to solve her problems with her properties
But I think I was left used and hurt when she met her male friend
She gave him the priority but in the end he only befriended her for her Assets
Again it was me who stood up to him and he is no longer a part of her life except he manages one of her properties and he refuses to cash her cheques deliberately
I can only do so much for my demanding Mother
Now she is on her own she turns to me otherwise she would have turned to him and has been very hurtful and insulting to me when she was with him
For this reason I will listen and support her but I will not neglect anymore my studies which has happened in the last three years
I was thinking of setting up a small legal practice by employing a retired solicitor in Wills and Probate as Age UK is closed
I do not how I will do this but I will give it some thought
You say that you will listen and support your mother but not neglect your studies.. What are you going to do now that is different? Wasn't it the worry and upset itself that took the focus away from your studies? Are you saying you are going to switch off? Or was it the time she took from you while on the phone? I think that can be easier to deal with because if we don't respond to people who are ranting, they go away. Just some thoughts - there's no criticism implied. It's just that "if you always do what you've always done, you always get what you always got". Take care xx
Well, if she has no concept of the impact she has on me, it's time you told her. If this was me, I would tell my mother to stop phoning until I had sat the exam.
If I told her to stop she would get hysterical and call my two Aunties who very rarely contact me to find out where I am
But I have also realised that I will give my Mother limited support
This is because when she had her male friend she put him first , she would insult me and take out her rage on me and then on two occasions fail because of the impact on my anxiety
I know that after managing fifteen properties , it was all taken for granted
I think I will never come to terms how she has treated me when she had him in her life
Now she is on her own she will just have to cope like so many elderly people in the UK who have no one
I think what has also shocked me is that I will to pass the three exams a d find a years work experience before I can even consider opening up my own firm
I will focus for Sept and Jan and I hope you get better
Good morning Roukaya, I have only just got your message from yesterday afternoon. Have you ever thought that there is no law that you have to answer the phone each time it rings? It can be hard to ignore but it is possible. I have a call blocker phone and some calls are announced so that I can choose whether to answer them or not.
I am very angry, too, about the way some people have treated me and won't have anything to do with them even though they are my partner's family. I am an only child too and luckily the relationship I had with my mother was good on the whole. But now I have virtually no-one and am in a lot of pain. So yes, your mother is only 72. She has her business and can cope. It is good that she has that as it is probably enough to keep her busy.
I'm always here to listen and I have read so many of your posts that I feel I know you quite well. I liked the post someone sent you yesterday saying to make a list of what you will do each day - not so much a to do list but more of a what-not-to-do list! Looks like it's going to be a nice day today. Enjoy it. xx
I think you are very right in the sense my Mother is kept busy with her properties but they are empty and one in need of repair
Thanks to the advice of some one on this post , I have started to structure the day and I have a study plan which will take me to mid September
I think deep down inside I am quite sad that I turn 51 and I am by myself
I do not know if I would ever settle or I wonder in this day age as to what kind of a person I will meet
I hope your health is ok and you are able to cope
I was thinking of setting up a legal practice for the elderly but to risky as it is better I pass the three exams and find a years work experience
I had do many aspirations but I think looking after my Father and his property business took up my forties
And now as I am in my early fifties I find myself having to restart again
It is something I would like to do
The study has to come from me
The speculative applications I will start to send out for a years work experience
I realise that we have to make the best of our situation
I think also mentally having managed my Fathers Estate as he was involved with a younger woman was a very hard task as she had come for everything and used my Father in terms of money and everything until I came along to take charge of the business
I expect there lies the issue
Everything fell in my shoulders whilst my Mother lived overseas
Her life was not disturbed but mine was
When I would explain I did everything she would say it was your duty
I realise this but it had a negative impact concerning my aims in my forties
Having being at first overwhelmed with my Mothers issues and failing the exam three times I can see very clearly where I have gone wrong and by Gods Grace I will take steps to remedy the problem
It is sad that you are on your own in your fifties but it is not because there is anything wrong with you; you have been preoccupied with helping your parents and then trying to secure your financial future. If you can get out and about and meet people in any way you can, you may meet just the person you have been waiting for - or you may just make plenty of good friends, which can be better. You may find that if you do this before you take your exams it might even have a beneficial effect on your ability to study because doing nothing but studying can make for a very gloomy life but if you have something to look forward to, that can help "gee you up a bit".
I am doing a bit of research for my little book and I will try and get out for a walk today but moving is painful so I probably won't get very far. I've got shopping being delivered at some point today but my partner will have to deal with it.
You have had a very difficult time with your parents. Now it is time to look after yourself and find some happiness. Having other people around you will help you to forget the bad times. What help do you need in your studies?
Yes, I do enjoy writing and my book is called "We'll follow You - a brief guide to conducting choir and orchestra". I'm looking forward to writing some decent fiction soon as well.
It sounds as if you have some good plans to expand your horizons in joining a gym, which might be good for you even though you don't meet people unless you join a class but you are bound to meet people if you go on day trips. You just have to be careful who you trust. And you have a routine for studying that I hope is working for you, and I expect the webinars are interesting.
Yes - it's gorgeous; I will attempt to get out. I have been on laptop since I got up and have yet to have breakfast!
Hello Roukaya. That is the best thing you can do Is to learn from your Mother's Mistakes Sadly too many follow the ways of their Mothers You are obviously very wise and intelligent enough to do better for yourself and Hopefully you can find friendship and Happiness It's a sad old world When so many live lonely lives alone instead of trying to make a relationship work and have support love and Holidays together Take care And there are lovely people in this group who will always chat and reply Dont bottle Thoughts and feelings up get them out and off your chest Brian
I would be pleased if you could explain my Mothers mistakes
I know having put my parents first this has been quite detrimental but in my Fathers I was left with no choice but to act whilst my Mother demanded and ordered me to sort everything out
As a of three years realising now how close I came to passing but by sorting mums life out this jeopardised my own ability to pass
Hello Roukaya. Perhaps i miss understood your point I was saying to do what is best for you And learn from the ways you feel your Mother was wrong in not being more open to change of ideas and Decisions Brian
My Mother’s mistakes I wish you could explain a bit better
Good morning Roukaya. Yes, I think we can all be a little idealistic about our families in general, and especially our parents. Families are complex things and just because they are often referred to as 'happy families', doesn't always make them that. I guess we have an expectation that our parents, and maybe particularly our mothers, will always be supportive of us, and that isn't always the case. Sometimes it's because of failings in them, and sometimes us, and most often a mixture of the two things.
The truth is that only you can make you happy. Others can sometimes contribute to that or do things to destroy that happiness, but you are the only one who can choose happiness.
And I think you are managing to do that more now. 🙏
I think three years of near misses and realising what I ever I do for my demanding Mother is never enough
I have visited her so many times and told so what
I think I would like to set up a small legal
Practice by employing a part time retired solicitor
As I turn 51 next month given the impact of Covid and the closure of Age Uk I believe it is something worth trying
I have a small inheritance from my Father and unlike my parents I will invest a small portion in setting up a small practice instead of buying properties like my parents and when they can’t cope the daughter is expected to solve it
Age UK hasn't closed down but just your local branch. I know this coz of one my sisters is a manager there. Like most organisations they have suffered due to covid and some of their shops have closed too. However they are still going.
Hello Roukaya,
I have not replied to you before, however, I had a very difficult relationship with my mother. My younger sister died on the same day that she was born. I longed for a brother or a sister to counteract the loneliness, as I was aged nine when this sad event occurred. I was never allowed to speak about this, and consequently I had to remain silent and never had anyone to speak to about how I was left feeling. Times were a lot different then Roukaya, and children had to remain silent.
My relationship with my mother continued to go downhill, and I could never please her. I did not fit this chocolate box picture of how I should look, which was one of a sweet angelic little doll with ringlets, and always dressed in white. I used to endure endless hair treatments such as binding rags in my hair, hair lotions to give a curled look etc. I was always dressed in white and told never to get dirty etc. In the end, in a fit of rage my mother cut off all of my ringlets as they were too much of a bother for her.
Psychologically speaking, the damage ran high, and I left home as soon as I could. I ran into a bad marriage to escape and stuck in it for 18 years. I then decided to divorce as my daughter was then 16. I discovered that I could cope without a man, and also without my mother. When she died, I arranged her funeral to fit in with some exams that I had to sit. I took the three exams and passed with good grades. I put my mother on the back burner, as we say, and I now only give her a thought or two. The thoughts being, that I wished that I could have had a normal relationship with her. Follow your own path Roukaya, and sit your exams, and make sure that they are your priority, as no one, not even a parent, has the right to rob you of your life. Study hard, as I did, and when you finally succeed take pride in all of your efforts, and what you had to overcome to get to there. You, are your number one priority! Thinking of you, and knowing that you will succeed.🐭😊
Your idea of setting up a practice sounds good, especially if Age UK is going to close permanently.
I'm glad that the people here have helped you clarify your mind and help you to see your way forward, especially with regard to your mother.
Many folk don't realise that they don't own their children, and try to hang on far longer than they should.
I was lucky, my parents let me go when I wanted to spread my wings, Dad wanted me to go to Art School;; I love daubing, but I really don't have original ideas,so that wasn't feasible. One of my cousins was very good, and was a Courtroom Artist for many years, although I have not seen her stuff on TV recently, so I'm pretty sure she must have retired, she would be 77 now.
Architecture I would have loved to do, but opportunities for women were few in the 60s. Right now, I'm replanning my bathroom and kitchen.
I have been looking into setting up a small legal practice but it is best I try to pass the three exams and find a years work experience
My Mother is someone who has always put herself first
I am expected to support and be there for her and solve all of her problems
But when she had her male friend she knew how to put him first and treat me like a dog if I said anything wrong
By failing over three years and Covid learning to realise I cannot let my Mothets self interest ruin my ability to make a life be it late at the age of fifty going on fifty one
Age UK as an organisation is not closing down. One of my sisters is a manager at a local branch.
When I had a chat to my ex boyfriend on the phone about the incident in May last year where things had turned nasty all because I was looking for another job and was ordered to stay at the one I was unhappy at which I left last year he had said to me perhaps I'm being thick but honestly I don't understand that kind of behaviour myself and I said neither did I and he said how it was nothing to do with the job in itself that had me upset no it was the spiteful attitude that had which was about right!
Since that incident last year I ended up being punished by being given the silent treatment because I wouldn't do what they wanted which I think is stupid and childish really like spoilt children and I feel it's an accidental favour as I'm enjoying the peace and quiet of not having to put up with that stupid nonsense!
Yes my dad was so lovely to me. I was real daddy’s girl went everywhere with him. But Don’t get me wrong I still have family I have my dads side well what is left of them. I’ve have made sure that my sons and grandkids will never feel that way. Ppl can be cruel but heyho that’s life I guess.
Just a thought - maybe it is structure that you need in your life Roukaya. Write down everything you need or wish to achieve for the next day. On that list add your Mother's name if you and only you wish to telephone and speak to her. If you don't wish to speak to her don't add her to your list and if she rings don't answer it. Put down all the times you wish to study, to shop, to go for a walk, to read, to watch the TV and housework. Lock down is easing, cafe's and restaurants are beginning to open, whilst our for a walk look around to see what else is opening - make a note of the dates if you might be interested.
Do your drive? - this morning hubby and I went out for a drive in the pouring rain and stopped by the coast watching the young people learning to sale very small sailing boats. We had a cup of tea from our trusty flask and I read for a while before turning round and returning home for lunch. We would have taken a picnic if the weather had been promising, however there is always tomorrow. I am still shielding until the end of the month but it is amazing to go out to enjoy the fresh air, still keeping our distance.
With every good wish for your studies and Take Care.
Let’s just say I was at the wedding but wasn’t born. Even my grandmother used to say to me if it wasn’t for you. Your parents would never have married.
I have been keeping in the background, reading your journey, and even if I have not replied, my thoughts have been with you.
I believe you to be a very thoughtful, gentle, giving & persistent soul. You have great capacity for growth and are humble enough to step back and assess situations with great candour. You have many plus points indeed in your favour. And you are true to your name; you are indeed on the Ascent'. You will rise above your trials and tribulations and be successful, I have no doubts.
I think your business idea is excellent.
I think that there will be a need for the service you could provide.
There are many who will be critical.
There are always this who are quick to tell us what we can't do... There are also those who have never had the courage to go after their dreams and ideas and that is why they are happy to deflate others.
If I had listened to others telling me how I could not possibly achieve what I wanted to pursue because I was too old... I would have been the poorer for it mentally and spiritually. Instead I have succeeded.
I have overcome, just in the last two months the greatest obstacle that has threatened my existence for the last 33 years. I have not quite reached the 'summit', but I am well on the way.
You have another angle to consider, as do I; your 'transplanted cultural identity', even of you were born in the UK, you still share your own culture from your own 'original soil', that you come from, a very powerful source. Keep and nurture the better aspects and 'shed' the shackles that hold you back. Use your energy and thought and fuel your passion to 'overcome and thrive'. The Latin for the verb to overcome is "Supero, Superare, Superavi, Superatum", which means, I overcome, to overcome, I overcame, & having been overcome!
The only limitations you will encounter, are in your mind.
Be sure to take care of yourself, eat well, take your vitamins, and fulfil your potential. Nothing nor anybody will be able to hold you back.
I was blown away and touched by your kind and inspiring words.
Thank you greatly .
I have been studying since the beginning of June and I will be resitting the exam for the fourth time .
I am have given much thought to set up a practice for the elderly but I think I will need to pass the exams find a years work experience in a legal practice to attain the licence to practice.
Thank you for having so much faith in me
I was truly touched by the warmth of your words
I wonder if you are a writer given your mastery of words
I was shocked a little today as a construction vehicle mounted the pavement and knocked my Mother and she sustained a foot injury
Makes me sad but I know she could have sustained a worse injury
But I am very sorry to hear of your mother's misfortune, how unlucky; however, as you say it could have been much more serious indeed! So really, she was still lucky in her misfortune.
I find currently that since lockdown and confinement, road driving skills and general manners of road craft have deteriorated considerably. Like anything else if you don't sustain your practice levels, you lose the habit and become rusty! I think there are currently many rusty drivers out there! We must all be patient and be extra vigilant...
I am wondering if, this dangerous episode that your mother has experienced may have imperceptibly affected her somewhat? It could rock her self confidence somewhat? This might result in possibly an altered attitude towards you? It could result in her 'mellowing' towards you with any luck, fingers crossed ... As she comes across as very demanding and domineering, whether by nature, habit, or cultural nurturing?
I hope it does mellow her and that she softens her treatment of you.
Your exam that you are preparing for is the most important and immediate goal that you will no doubt wish to focus upon. I hope that you have previous exam papers to refer to and analyse? Having good exam 'technique' plays a huge role in obtaining a good result, quite apart from the knowledge required to sit the exam in the first place; as well as understanding the different marks awarded to the different sections within the paper. For example, when under a time limit, understanding the different marks awarded to the different sections, it will make no sense to spend precious time labouring for too long on a section that will only award 10% of the marks, at the expense of not leaving enough time to answer a question that may be worth 30% of the possible marks to be awarded. Even if you get top marks at 10%, by giving the other section a good stab, you could still get 20%, thereby doubling your marks in comparison.
My mother was a teacher & would always stress exam technique with me when I was revising. I do hope I do not sound as though 'I am trying to teach my grandmother how to sucks eggs' by passing on this advice? It may indeed have no relevance to your exam but I thought I'd pass it on anyway!
Tell us when your exam date is and I shall think positive thoughts of success for you!
I have been concerned for Mum given her injury she sustained yesterday and also realising the fragility of life and its transient nature .
You are right in your wisdom that Mum finally realised how fortunate my Father was to have me near by at a moments notice I would be there.
But Mum ad you say seems to be kinder towards me and values me a little bit more .
I always find yo hard to readjust when I get jolted like this but I should appreciate that in all of this the injury could have been so much worse .
I hope you are keeping well.
Your Mum being a teacher gave you sound advice
I realise I have lost precious marks due to inadequate exam technique and this has to be my Achilles heel
I need to work on this on Sept will be my fourth attempt
I also honestly believe now given Mums near miss how important it is to follow our dreams
As much as I would like to open a little practice, I think for the sake of professional compliance I will need to find a years work experience and pass the three exams then be in a position to open a Licensed Probate Practice.
I expect we all have dreams to sustain our core being and also I realise by helping others , this invigorates our our own spirit.
Thank you for your understanding and I wish you a peaceful day
