Trigger warning: Serious illness & baby loss

Katie chats to Elizabeth, a 25 year old Stepmum of two young boys, about her journey as a Stepmum so far.

Elizabeth shares how she finds it hard having so much of  her life and her future affected by her partner's previous life choices. She talks about feeling like she can't move forwards with her life and the next stages because her partner's first experience of marriage has left him not feeling ready to do it again.

She talks about how she wishes they could see more of the boys but her partner doesn't want to go to court and their Mum isn't willing to change the schedule at the moment. Elizabeth also talks about her worries for the care her stepsons receive and about how her love for them has grown since she met them.
