The Bachelor’s Alex Nation has hit back at online trolls who have criticised her for how she parents her six-year-old son Elijah.
Ever since the 25-year-old won Richie Strahan’s heart on The Bachelor last year, many have branded the blonde as a ‘neglectful mum’ for not spending enough time with her son.
Taking to Instagram, Alex posted a sweet snap of herself cuddling up to Elijah.
“It’s no secret that I have been widely criticised for how I parent my son. People going as far as saying that I’ve neglected him and even further, saying he’s better off without me,” Alex captioned on the pic.
“It’s interesting isn’t it, how people can feel so entitled to press such an opinion on to others- without even knowing the person personally.”

Alex went on to tell her followers that she isn’t perfect, adding: “We are human, we make mistakes. But mistakes should be embraced because that is how we grow.
“What has happened to the act of encouragement and finding happiness in seeing happiness in others?
“I guess my reason for this post is I want to extend my love and encouragement to all the awesome Mums and Dads out there who maybe today might be feeling a little discouraged. You are doing a beautiful job.”
You go girl!
