    hi all, feeling really low, sorted sons problems out at school, and he has had a good day there, so i should be happy.
    but, i split with my bf over a week ago, it has been kind of on off for a while now, he was always putting me down etc. anyway since we have split, he says, he has realised how much hurt he has caused me, and that he is truly sorry, loves me, and wants to give us another try. the think is i dont want to hurt him further by telling him it is deff over, if there is a chance that he will chance. but my biggest fear is going back to him, and suffering all the pain all over again. we have only been together a year, and in that time, there has been some good times, and some really awful ones, where i attemped suicide twice, and recently started cutting myself. on top of this i have two sons to consider who both really like him, they have had no contact from their own dad for years, but i also dont want them to see there mum suffering and hurting too.
    so confused

    Ah, someone else is around :D

    Could you compromise? Maybe tell him things will have to be different this time and to take it slow, whilst him being a positive role model for the children?

    i'm still up. i know how your feeling, about wanting to be special to someone, especially at this time of year, i always attract the men that end up causing me pain.
    big hugs

    This time of the year is worst as we're being forced to see things all family orientated and everyone smiley.

    My partner and daughter died quite a few years ago (seperately) and I was happy. Since then, 2 partners, both selfish, immature and bullsh*tters to be frank.

    Neither of us, or anyone here, deserves people that cause us pain.

    Let's just hope that good will come to us all.

    we've had the same discussions so many times before, and insisted on change, and he has promised to try, but then he goes back to his old ways. not sure if he is capable of changing. he says the nastiest things sometimes, putting me down because i'm ill, then the next minute he can be so nice, i never know where i stand with him and its like walking on egg shells all the time

    There are only so many times a person can say they will change.

    Maybe it's a case of trying to be friends and seeing what happens.

    I'd be a hypocrite to say 'give him one more go' as i'm someone who strongly believes that someone should get away from any kind of abuse, yet I see so many women inparticular who stay with men who treat them bad, for a variety of reasons - car, money, sex etc are silly reasons, however when love, children etc are involved, it can be tough and there are many more i'm sure.

    Does he drink heavily or deal in drugs?

    Aw Miro, your little light has gone off now:o Does that mean you are off the site completely or just on another thread...what I mean is, does the little light only come on when you are on a particular thread? I haven't worked out how I can test the theory for myself:rotfl: :rotfl:

    You are always a gentleman Miro, as proved by your actions today. That young lady obviously knew she could trust you to help without taking advantage of her situation, & that is something very special in these suspicious times. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you to have another meeting with this damsel who has put a smile on your face.:wink:

    Any how, you can't go anywhere.....a certain american female songstress needs all the fans she can get:D

    My BIL is home for the weekend, & I shall visit tomorrow at his request.

    He's been told that 3 months is a likely prognosis.

    He told the offsprings dad tonight, that he is just glad that it's him that has cancer, becauses he wouldn't want it to be anyone else in the family.

    I shall do my damnedest to be as strong for him as he has always been for others.

    But I may need your help folks.......

  • Thanks to you all for putting up with my ramblings yesterday. My nerves are taking a bashing at the moment, but i slept alright last night. When i woke at 6am my mind was racing and i tried to distract myself by taking a lovely shower. So far its helped, I'm still on the edge but I'm trying to hold on. I'm sure I'm fine, but in the back of my mind I'm concerned that i have a serious problem and waiting till Monday to see doctor is going to prove to be along weekend. I'm trying to come up with some distractions, i usually go walking but the weather will put a damper on that i feel. At least i came come here and bare all (not literally-thankfully). Anyhow I'm going to get the dog up and open his advent calendar for him, he getting to used to having a chocolate in the morning
