  • Hi, just thinking of you, so glad to hear that terrible weight has lifted from you. hope you've had your best weekend in a long time.

    you sound blessed with a lovely,caring family,enjoy being able to sleep again, your post has helped me to feel a little less scared of BR if the situation i'm in at present is repeated. thankyou x

    Thank you for your lovely post. It has indeed been such a chilled lovely weekend. The weird thing now is learning to adjust and change. As I have spent so many hours and nights worried about the debt and trying to find a way to pay it off - well not sure what to do now to fill that time!

    I certainly thought it was going to be a lot scarier than it was. I felt like I had just popped to the doctors surgery or bank or something. No judgement, no nasty people and opinions, just a process. We always make things out a lot worst in our heads as my OH always tells me! Yes I am very bless to have such a wonderful family and support :)

    Don't worry about things, it is the worst thing you can do and don't be scared. See how things go and if your situation in the future means you have to face BR, don't be worried. It is just a period of our lives, a little test, to go through, learn and get out the other side and move on. Sending positive thoughts your way x
  • That is very kind of you thankyou. I love my hubby so very much. I can't keep living this way though,debt is so consuming,i'm sure it's shaving years off my life. Telling my Dr about it all has helped,my hubby is now waiting to go for counseling. This gives me hope. He's a good person in every other way,i'm hopeful the counseling will help get to the root of the problem as he keeps repeating it.
    I also think he needed to know that i won't bail him out anymore.

    Your post has really helped me to realise I have other options for ME!I wouldn't(like many others) "like" to have to go BR but if i need to I would get through it,like you are. It has helped me to feel a bit stronger in myself.

    It's lovely to "hear" the brightness in your posts after everything you've been through. Thankyou for giving someone like me the courage to see that I have a choice for ME should history repeat itself.
    Here's to moving forward now,thankyou:Tx

    No problem at all :)

    I guess I have accepted what has happened and now I am determined to move on and make something of my life!

    We went away for a few days a little while a go and the whole time all I could think about and focus on was debt and how was I going to pay it! Not a nice feeling at all.

    As much as it is difficult to say I am BR and the difficulties I may face because of this, I would rather that than the pressure, stress and worry of mounting debts. It is such an awful burden.

    Great step for your hubby, I am sure the counselling will help.

    Focus on the future, forget about the past :) x
