    i really hate my ex, the emotional and verbal abuse everything he put me through. my life is so much better without him in it. only thing is i am having real difficulty sleeping at night, as the memories of how he treated and controlled me, come flooding back. sometimes i feel like turning to alcohol again to numb the pain, but i know in the long run that wont help.
    so tired, am going to try going back to bed again

    It doesn't help hun, trust me I have seen someone use alcohol to blot out the pain and it doesn't work. Better go for that old chestnut ... counselling, and remind yourself that you are a SURVIVOR who copes with a tough life.
  • Oy Tiff, Miro's mine if I can't get Mr S back, or I might just forget Mr S for the man with five cats ...


    NOW he's scared!!


    Mind you Miro, you're safe for a while ... I went !!!! over tit on a slippery pavement today and banged my head :eek: Got checked out at hospital, just bumps and bruises, but certainly not feeling like viewing any more rooms today! Am very sore .... great timing ...
