My 9 year old Areebah started biting her nails as an anxiety management 4 years ago right after I was separated from my ex husband. it got worse when I started having issues with parents too. She and I have been through the toughest time of life and crawled through stress and depression. While I was busy trying to be a good mother and keeping my job at the same time, I failed to make her stop biting her nails. Tried lotion, bitter drops and pvc nails. Last week she showed me her fingers and said look Mum, my nails are growing!! I looked in surprise and saw its True!! Her beautiful nails are growing back.. In happiness and surprise I asked ‘How did you make it stop potol?.. She smiled at me and said because Im happy now and I dont worry about you anymore and I love my life.

As do I…. 

that moment I couldn’t hold l my tears.heres to happiness and change.
