    just keep talking to us Luc, but you can PM me at any time if you want to talk and get stuff - absolutely anything - off your chest. xx

    For me, one of the most helpful things was writing it all down. I was going through it the same time I was on a debt busting drive so Ihad a diary and it all went in there.

    I used loads of the excerpts as part of the evidence against her and I still have a hard copy. Sometimes I come across the paperwork when I'm looking for other stuff and I'm shocked at what I read. One day though, I will read through my old DFW diary as an 'outsider' to finally put it all to bed.

    I feel better for having broached the subject. You're such a fab bunch - not sure where I'd be without you :grouphug:

    maybe I should dust off my DFW diary ...

    Will you get use out of both? A pretty girl can never have too many dresses (or shoes, handbags, make up....)

    I am exactly like that and always have been (and still am). I have always seen asking for help as a sign of weakness so I've (in any situation) kept things to myself and tried to work it out, particularly at work.

    Eventually though, it gets to the point when you just have to let go :(

    Never be afraid of getting help for stuff. It's division of labour, and without it, we'd still all be subsistance farmers. Some people are better than others at things. For example I have the knowledge, skills and experience to be able to lash this site together and the associated communications network. But how good is my cooking? (without using the word shiite...) ;)

    Is this the red one? Or the wipe-clean one?
