Fifteen years on, I’ve shared this with my son.
I remember the day clearly: it was traumatic for both of us.
He didn’t want to go to crèche and I didn’t want to go to work.
I came very, very close to leaving my job, but instead wrote this and sold it for $300 to Australian Family Circle.
The best kind of therapy.
We both survived and he still gives me a hug.
