Remarrried
I got remarried to a man who had 2 children and an ex-wife who had cancer living in KZN. this relationship came with many challenges, being his children, my children, and the whole spectrum of dealing with two different families and having to deal with this in a fair manner, which in itself is the most difficult situation to be in

Life as a single parent
I pursued life with my 2 sons as a single parent, experiencing the highs and lows of being on my own and then after a few years seemed to get into the swing of things and enjoy the life I had as a single parent. It wasn't easy, but i coped and treasured the time i had with my two sons.
