Leanne’s life began with the mystery of not knowing her birth parents, who were themselves grappling with their own battles. However, she was adopted into a loving and supportive family, providing her with a stable foundation. Despite this support, Leanne found herself struggling with her identity, feeling like she never truly fit in.
To cope with her sense of not belonging and the pressures of fitting in, Leanne turned to drugs and alcohol. This led her down a path of addiction, causing her to spend most of her adult life in a cycle of random jobs that facilitated her substance abuse. It was during this tumultuous period that she became pregnant.
Leanne’s pregnancy was further complicated by the devastating news that her child, Darcy, was going to be born with serious health issues and might not survive. The courage it took to carry on with the pregnancy and give birth to Darcy was remarkable. But as they left the hospital and went home, a dark cloud of sadness descended upon Leanne.
Today, Leanne stands as a beacon of hope and recovery. She has made a full recovery from postnatal depression and is sober, having conquered her addiction. Her relationship with her daughter, Darcy, has evolved into a beautiful and unbreakable connection. Despite Darcy’s ongoing medical needs, both mother and daughter exhibit incredible strength and determination, ready to leave their mark on the world.
