Hiya Maria
I've just read this thread from start to finish with tears streaming down my face. I spent 9 years in an emotionally abusive relationship with a control freak (although give him his due.... he worked his butt off... he just didnt want to spend any of it!!). I really do hope you continue to have the strength you've shown so far to do what is best for youself and your daughter. The tears are for all the people though who, although not being in the greatest position themselves, have really restored my faith in human kindness. I'm a great believer in karma and the saying 'what goes around comes around'... Heres hoping that you ALL get the truly wonderful things you deserve
Psst... AchtungLady..... GREAT avatar!! I'm sated now I have my daily 'B' man fix!!! If only I hadnt spent half of last year travelling around the world to see him I wouldnt be in this bloody mess now!! Hehehe0 -
Maria .....at last some good news for you, its great that things are looking up, the power of MSE is strong and we can all be strong in poopy situations.
At least the OH has finally got off his bum and started doing something so it must feel alot better in your house.
P.S. remember the offer that was made to you a while ago, I am sure it does still stand!!! You know what I mean!Proud to be me, proud to be who I am!!0 -

Hi all, thanks for the support and apologies for not being around.
I havent started the new job yet as im waiting for the position to be vacant.
Hubby accepted the job just like the other 2 but cannot be bothered to go, so he still does not have one. He should be finding out about the Army today, as to when he will be going in, there is also a chance we could go to Germany but I dont know what i willdecide then.
Im having a rough time at work as im so unhappy there, so if any of you are on Vodafone and need an upgrade or would like to take a new contract please come to me as im also not hitting my targets. https://www.theword.co.uk .
Cadence loves school, she is really happy there and is learning so much.
In the next couple of days I will be sending a financial statement with a letter to all our creditirs to find out exactly how much we owe as this is also getting me really down as we are minus. It is below hopefully you can see it ok.
