Hi Sea - great to hear from you again. Really sorry to hear about the breakup. Hope all is good with you and the children.

Thank you so much for all the lovely support everyone - brought tears to my eyes!!

Well, things are going slowly here. We are working out what to do and how to do it really. I am buying the house - just hope I can get a decent mortgage. My mum is helping me find the money - basically, people will invest in the house and then when I sell, get the % back. I have to find £21,300 to give to OH. My mum has already potentially sorted 10K so that is a start. I will still have 'my' debt too to clear, but I will still live here so, you know.

The children are fabulous - DS is growing up so fast!! He turns 3 in a week

As for other things - I've still been doing my scrapbooking - the only thing that clears my mind at the moment. Seem to have ups and downs, although feeling quite excited about the future, but sad that things haven't worked out.

Feeling a little stressed about the money - OH thinks it would be best if he claimed tax credits as he earns less - we're obviously going joint parental responsibility. But I am resistant to this but don't know if that's my control issues or what!

Will be back later- the kids are now screaming and arguing YET AGAIN!!! Gotta love the summer hols

Seems like you are getting things together...you sound a lot m.ore positive now you have made your mind up.I know it's sad that it didn't work out and nobody could ever say that you didn't try your hardest.I admire your strength in this and think overall you'll be a lot happier.
I don't understand why he would be wanting tax credits.Will you be having the children stay with you and hin just have access or is it completely different?..if they are staying with you then you should be getting them as it's you thats providing.
If theres anything I can do to help just pm..me xxx..take care and give those 2 little darlings a hug from me xx

Hi Sea,
Sorry to hear about you and husband but well done on sorting things-you do seem stronger. (However, I know that the saddest times are when you're not on here but alone at night...)

It's been a rough year for quite a few people-keep posting-so good to see you back! x

Hey all

Well, he's decided to take the week off work - and so things are just wonderful here as you can imagine. He's in bed still, so think this is going to be a lot of the week - so I'm planning to be out and about as much as possible, but without spending anything!

Hmmm....

Off to catch up with peeps.

Just noticed this thread. Sorry to hear your news but from what I saw you are more than strong enough to make a go of things on your own.

Hope you're all keeping ok.

Hi there Sea

I was just thinking about you the other day. Sorry to hear your news - I hope things are okay for you this week in particular, and I hope you manage to sort the longer term situation in a way thats best for you and the kids.

Take care xx

Sorry to hear about the split hun but I hope you're seeing it as a new beginning rather than an ending. Sounds like you're pretty together with everything and sound positive.. and it's good to see you back. So accept a big dodgy 3some hug from me. :grouphug:
