Smashing single parenthood:writing prompt

What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?

Gosh…so many kindnesses I could, and think I probably will, make it my 2027 NY resolution to name one per day.

But on this writing prompt day, I am giving a shout out to the wonderful (and brave) friend who sat me down as an ex-boyfriend messed me about (for the umpteenth time) and said,

That is disgusting behaviour from him, Becky, If you have a crumb of self respect, you’ll never have any contact with him again

‘A crumb of self respect’…strong words and as you can imagine quite a wakeup call. It turned out to be  just the kick up the proverbial I needed to finally block him forever!!

Result?  Adios anxiety and hello happiness.

Sometimes…you’ve got to speak plainly to be kind!!

And to my terrific pal on this occasion – much love and thanks…
