Injustice

Let's talk about working parents for a minute. I'm heart broken and angry with the lack of regulations which would force employers to have clear policies and procedures in place for parents/carers.

Your mind comes first and body follows after. If ones mind is in a bad state the body will deteriorate. I have neglected both of them over the years mistreating & abusing them mentally and physically. I feel like I have hit the rock bottom again. As a working mother I try to tackle multiple …
