“My mum is my best friend. We’ve always been very close, and after my parents got divorced we’ve grown even closer to each other. We share and talk about everything, even our love life. I was in a relationship for three years and we recently split up. My mother isn’t very lucky either. A while ago she tried to rekindle her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, so we moved back in with him – head over heels. When they broke up again shortly after I was not amused and I told her so. But I will support her, regardless. She is my sweet mum and I love her to bits. Only when it comes to love, I guess I can’t gain from her experiences. Still we try to make the best of things. This summer we went on a holiday to Spain together.”
