    Thanks for all the comments. I have spent a lot of time today reading the posts and thinking about what has been said and I feel a bit better about things.I have sat and made lists about things over the last 3 years to see the difference before he left, just after and now and I can see I have accomplished a lot on my own and just not realised it!:)
    name.

    It's often hard to see how far you've come when you're living it-I'm glad you can see that you ARE moving forward-that knowledge alone will spur you on


    I know it is most likely we will get to stay in this house till she finishes school end of the year she 18. Hopefully I might have a job with more hours by then and can take it on and maybe do a deal with his pension. My youngest is intending on going to uni so I will have to make sure he contributes to that. 3 years is a long time who knows what is going to happen 3 years ago I would never have dreamt I would go through all that I have!!! If we have to sell up and move we will still have each other and that is what counts.

    Think about how-Selling up because he has ignored his obligations to her for the last nearly three years and if allowed to will do so for the next three-isn't the best for your family (your family is you, your daughters and your grandaugher-He doesn't act like family so has lost that benefit)



    I need to keep this in my head and my heart ALL THE TIME and not let him get me down. Whatever happens I will NOT be the one missing out on my girls xx

    Your girls are growing up-Yes family is important but you need to look at slowly building your own life with your own friends and interests too

    I will be reading all the posts again and again and I will get to do more and more of the things that you have all said. I will also make sure that everyday I write a diary of 3 good things that have happened each day to help me see life may not be as bad as I think it is at that time x

    Keeping a diary is great -every day you take small steps further and all those steps keep you travelling forward. I do think you have tried to carry all of this alone and some counselling -or even just letting friends see that you need support (in a positive manner -not a poor me way-eg "Meeting for lunch and a chat is a refreshing break from dealing with the situation" would be good for you. No (wo)man is an island after all :)

    I'm really glad you posted again (Even if you avoided all mention of the CSA-Yes we noticed ;) ) I wish you luck on your journey and look forward to you posting again to let us know how you are getting on .
