  • Life will only throw you what you can handle, it makes us stronger.

    Well done for keeping your head, your story was lovely to read, and very motivational. I am so glad that everything is going well for you now, and that your Mother is improving.
  • Life can be extremely tough at times but if you call on those nearest and dearest they usually pull through for you, and at some point in the future you may need to be there for them.
    Well done for staying sane through out it all and good luck for the future.

    we are finding things a bit tough at the moment as I am not working due to us emigrating and Im not allowed to at the moment. We are watching every penny but you know what we are happy, we have eachother, some where to sleep and food in our belly. What more can you ask for?

    I know with a bit of perciverance, hard work and a bit of luck we will make it through!

    Love is not something you make up and it has away of making you push your own boundaries, love always comes out on top.

    What a great post. It put my sunday morning mardyness into perspective. I'm glad things are looking up for you OP and hopefully they will just get better and better from now on. I hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas :)
    There are many things in life that will catch your eye, only a few will catch your heart. Pursue those.
  • Thank you all for you replies and thank you's, its the most I've had on one post.
    i still cant believe it myself i have to keep going and reading the letters to make sure i have read them right. i just wanted other people to know and see that when the future looks so dark and that even your partner gives up on you that things can just turn around so easily. as i said i still have a long way to go but at least they are finally going in the right direction.

    thank you all
