“Charlie, nobody ever broadcasts the bad bits of their lives. You don't ever sign onto Facebook or Instagram and see a photo of- I don't know, someone shouting at their husband because he's been a tosser. You just see the flowers he bout her as an apology and some sickly bloody hashtag”

Of being that mother who needs pills to get through what's supposed to be one of the best things that ever happened to her. I'm a shit mother.”
