    I've just realised I managed 16/15 AF for November 'cos I'm sober tonight!

    Stupotstu, I hope you are fully better now?

    CuppaTea, hugs for you x
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Thank you everyone for your kind words and thoughts, I appreciate them. This evening (I know it sounds drastic and OTT) but it kind of feels like I am on a sentance of some kind, just waiting for the morning to come so my family can be destroyed. I know that is pessimistic but I don't want this to happen, so right now don't want to see it in any other way.

    I hate what is happening right now, but I don't hate DH, guess i wont becalling him that much longer. Not ready for the term Ex either.

    Why does life have to be so complicated and hard?

    Another AF making 5 in a row.........go me!!! First time in ages.
    Live for the moment and plan for the future

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Phew!!! Thought she'd fallen for an Aussie - not that there is anything wrong with lovely Australian men : obviously(!) - but it would make life complicated for you and DD!:D

    Hey Cuppa, just wanted to send you some positve thoughts. I hope this morning isn't too painful for you all, children often have more idea of the true situation than we realise. Take care my dear x
