    Itsall.

    The best thing you can do for YOU is to distract yourself from all the problems as much as you can. I am not saying brush it under the carpet but find things to busy yourself. Not very moneysaving but have a go at all those things you have always wanted to do. Pamper yourself and treat yourself maybe to a new outfit or a hairstyle. I don't know what you like but think about how it feels to be independent. Do a course or take those lessons you always fancied doing but never got round too. Go see an old friend. You will probably enjoy the process, it will boost your self esteem and it stops you dwelling on poor poor hubby who is clearly feeling sorry for himself for a very good reason.

    I said before, my ex tried every trick in the book and when I wasnt playing it did for a while get worse. I am not trying to influence your decisions but you cannot change him you can only change yourself.

    Far too much talking going on, you have given him a good run, now change your phone numbers and for heavens sake get those locks changed whatever anyone says!

    You are spending too much time and energy on him, there is no need at all to speak to him on a daily basis and to be so involved with him still.

    You need to catch up on your needs and your children's needs and sae all your energy for this. If you make yourself uncontactable even for a couple of day I am sure you will feel quite differently, you need a break from all this and him in particular.

    You are doing well, now you need to take the next step, start distancing yourself from him. Now he has given up his job he will become even more of a nuisance
