  • I went bankrupt nearly 3yrs ago and its only in the last few months that I have accepted the relief, before that the debt still haunted me. You will come to accept it, you will feel relieved when you get to the end of the month with your bank in credit, even if just by pence, you may well even feel glad you have to wait to buy something because you can't just stick it on a card, but all this will take time. You are not daft and you are not alone.

    Curly Hun....its good that those feelings are coming out...acceptance is very tough to reconcile yourself with sometimes & bad luck always strikes when we feel like this.

    Let the feelings out & accept that its what lies ahead that is important now.

    I shall be taking `the` step on Monday & today, for the first time since 2008, I feel that there is no point feeling a failure or that I am in a no-win situation....I have my future back & I am in control again.

    You are getting through this so be strong girl & if you need a chat you know where I am.
