    Oh Burtha - sending you huge hugs. Echoing the advice everyone else has given - get legal advice and protect yourself and your children. xxxxx

    Oh burtha love :( I am so sorry.
    You have had good advice already, so I will just say that although you feel so awful at the moment, a time WILL come when you feel better xxx

    Wondercollie Are you remembering those Fry's Sandwich bars from before you moved to Canada? I wonder if they weren't that common, as I only remember seeing them in one shop.

    Burtha, huge hugs from someone who has got the Tshirt, I'd been married for 25 years, take care of yourself and your kids, get legal advice.
    You will come out the other side stronger, chin up & titus out.

    Burtha. I'm so sorry. As others have said, get legal advice before you agree to anything and don't let him bully you into doing anything that you don't agree with. He's the one who is in the wrong :mad:
    Sending many hugs.

    Pollyanna pettle, you get through some candles huh? :(

    burtha I expect he's feeling pins and needles in his feet today because we share the same soil and I've been voodooing ;) You know to shout and scream here don't you? We're all here if you want us and yes, consider us robust fence posts although there's a few lumps and bumps on mine! x

    Burtha I haven't seen much regarding your health issue recently but do consider talking to your GP so they are in the loop .

    You've a lot to process when the sorting is over , no doubt the recent family loss and everything from your diagnosis to all the other events that have happened , are still in need of working through as you really don't have the time to ever do so .
    When things are sorted get yourself some decent support via the doctor to begin to open all those little boxes and see them off for good .
    The sun will shine again , many of us here have come through the storms of life and so will you .
    Talk, rant , ask whatever helps .
    Promise you one day on here you I will once again dance " The Time Walk " together :D
