    Oh macpep what a lovely thing to say, you really touched my heart.
    I have never been physically abused, withdrawing sex as a weapon to hurt (2 years or more), bullying, shouting, making me physically neglect myself, making me eat fatty food by blackmail, mind games, no help with the kids etc etc is his way, no fists kicks, just mental torture and no support, love no affection shown and his control 24 hours a day.

    That's hurt me to read 41:A

    I know not an AF topic, but why do you stay? You're worth so much more than this.:)

    Good to hear from you both. It's lovely to see all Shaggy's virtual friends coming on to offer support. This is such a great thread.

    Morning

    Went to the pub with OH and some friends last night - just had the one glass of wine. I had 1 more at bedtime. My unit count for the week is now twice what it should be :( I will try and do better today.

    Starting to have small patches of feeling normal for a time...

    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.

    Good Morning Shaggy,

    I think you are doing really well controlling your intake considering the week you've had. I, on the other hand, have not done so well. Still on 5 afd's but hoping to clock up a couple more before end of April.

    I have decided to set myself a modest target for May, so can you put me down for 8 days please.
    Today is a new day and I'm gonna make it a good one. :)

    Cuppa, it's good to see you sounding so positive.
