    Weller, if Wacky Warehouse cost £100 it would still be worth every penny to keep your family together and happy! In fact... make that £400, or £600... its only a few months of the money she was getting from you! Not surprised she can't afford her trip any more :rolleyes: You don't deserve her messing with your head, and Samuel doesn't either, well done you for thinking so quickly! :T :T

    Three cheers for weller :D xxx

    I just wanted to say what a beautiful little soul you have. you should be very,very proud to have and be raising such a wonderful boy. It shows what a great job you's are doing. I cannot have any children and this has left me heartbroken.I am struggling with money at the minute but what you have is the most beautiful thing on earth. give him a hug, and yourself from me. xx

  • weller just caught up with your post glad to see your doing so well keep strong i think ure being amasing the progress you've shown since the start of this thread is brilliant!!!!!;)

    the letter your mother sent you :mad: keep it for evidence just incase. shes obviously got a problem maybe shes jealous of what a good mother you are and how much your kids love you as she is obviously such a poor excuse for one herself!!!

    anyway keep us informed as we all would like to see you keep on doing so well oh and trips to the wackey warehouse are definately essentials on your SOA ha ha really tho a treat does us good sometimes and if anyone deserves one you do keep up the good work and be strong :D

    I've just spent the last 40mins reading this thread (really must get washed & dressed....!!) and have spent it in tears and laughing out loud.

    Weller, I can't add anything more than has been sent to you already, but really wanted to let you know that I think you're doing amazingly well now that you've had your mum LBM, I hope you continue to keep strong, and reduce your debts further with your £200pm!!

    Your children are incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful mother who, it seems, didn't have the best role model to copy!!!

    Hugs and best wishes.

    Hey love, just wanted to say well done, you're doing great. MIL is in need of some help, and even if it hurts, removing her from your lives might be the best option. You don;t want her messing with the kids' heads.

    Proud of you love - keep it up, and you should be very proud of yourself.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

  • Hi all
    Nice quite day here today (ie: no phone calls, no letters, no visits) - can't believe its just been a week since I first posted - it feels like its been forever and I can't stop reading the whole thread - at parts with a tear in my eye and at other parts LOL, this time last week I was in pieces and I now feel much stonger and able to deal with the things life throws at me - it might be hard but without sounding big headed - I have proved I can get though it - though without the support of lovely OH and you wonderful, wonderful people I don't know if I could have done.

    I don't expect that this will be the end of it all but I now feel like I just can deal with it as it comes - one step at a time - it will probably will be sometimes hard but I have now started believe that I can cope with things and not just fall to pieces.

    I am not allowed in the dining room as Sam is making me a Valentines Card - I have had my strict instructions:rolleyes: so I thought I'd take the chance to update this thread

    I am not going to get better over night but I will get better over time and for the first time in a long time I do think i will get better.

    I am not going anywhere as this site is a lifesaver as are all you kindhearted, lovely, caring people so please bear with me when I post with the next installment:rotfl: and hopefully, at some point, I may be in a position to help others as you have all helped me.

    Love and hugs to you all
