    Hi Gemqueen
    Just wanted to add that I hope you are ok. Quite understand if you feel like not posting but just remember we are all here when you need us for whatever reason and you must not feel like you are alone, just let us know how you are if thats all you want to do. You've done such a lot since first posting that nobody could blame you if you are feeling overwhelmed.

    This site is fantastic and you have seen how we all come together when somebody needs help, even SS starts flirting and thats not to be missed;) - you have even had a message from "the man" himself (Martin)- lucky you;) Anyway, will stop rambling on now so take care of yourself and remember we are all here for you so please dont feel like you are bothering anybody or taking up space - theres lots of space to be had!!!

    Just let off steam, ask questions (somebody will always know the answer), have a vent, get angry - more or less do what ever you want - we'll be here!

    Thinking of you
    Lisa x

    Hi Gemqueen - Ive been away so have just caught up with your thread. Well done on posting your SOA and everything you have done so far. You really are doing so well and should be proud of yourself - I really hope you get sorted with CCCS or Payplan soon. I cant believe the support that everybody has given you - it really does make your realise that there are nice people in this world who do care.
    All the best gem and keep posting to let us all know how you are getting on.

    I was reading through this thread earlier and it is a great example of just how wonderful the DFW gang are - bump

    GemQueen I hope you're holding on in there and can get back to us with an update to let us know you're alright :-)

    Hi Gem,

    Firstly I hope that your okay and just taking some time out. I've not been here long myself but wanted to let you know you are far from alone x

    Last year my ex's secret spending resulted in the end of our relationship, me losing my house to bankruptcy and my 4 yr old son and I sitting on my mum's doorstep in despair. The ex - now away at her majesty's pleasure for fraud (not only me it turned out)!! My son and I - settled in rented accomodation now paying off the last of 'his' debts (caused by him not paying son's nursery the money I gave him to pay each month) - as some of it was after the bankruptcy date. Last year I felt there couldn't possibly be any way out - felt that I'd really let my son down - then found this website (thank you Trevor MacDonald :rotfl: ) and have 'lurked' for almost a year before finally posting. I can't begin to tell you how amazing the people on here are, how helpful and supportive everyone is. It made me realise that I wasn't alone, just as you aren't alone here either. It's amazing just how many people have been where I was and have come through it.

    You will have a long way to go yet and it will at times appear impossible - but it isn't, post here to help keep you focused, talk to your family/friends or someone you can trust.

    Most of all - take care of you, you found enough strength to post here for the first time - you are stronger than maybe you think you are. Take all the hugs offered here and use them frequently - you'll need them and it's okay to accept them xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Learning valuable lessons everyday - made all the easier by the folks on here and my amazing family :T

    Life is better - now time to save for son's future :T
