    hellooooo. Just catching up. umm...can understand why you feel awkward re the unreasonable behaviour but being honest he has been very unreasonable, verging on cruel, at times. If he is going to live with his mum for very little or no rent I dont understand why you are takeing on teh work loan as well as your own debt? are you planning to sell the house or stay there? re the kids I would think long and hard about the time he has them while he is drinking as much as he is. I have no doubt at all that the three of you will be happier all round when you are a safe, secure unit but know its hard for you as so much planning etc and its exhausting. Hope the bh has been peaceful for you...hugs for you...you know where I am if you need a chat...

    Well, back to school tomorrow and back in normal routine, which I think will be good - not been having such a great time as just feel a little down.

    We've reached some new arrangements - 50/50 down the line, so need to visit solicitor to see what will happen about house etc. I can probably afford to keep the houe on, but want a clean financial break from him.

    The children are happier now things are civil in the house, which is nice and they too will benefit from teh routine of going back to school and childminder.

    Hope all are well and happy
