Oh Fuddle, that's fantastic news! I am not familiar with your story but after a quick read of your link to the T thread I had to congratulate you. Inspirational ! :T:T:T:T:T You must be walking on air.

DS has been offered both jobs. He is to report to both at 10 am on Tuesday for training. He is going to take the bakery as they say they will start his training to be a supervisor as soon as he has finished his 12 weeks probationary period.
I think it is ironic after five years of trying to get a job and failing he has not only been offered two but he had just mapped out what he was going to do for the next 6 year, which was mainly education. He had resigned himself to not earning anything until he is 30.0 -

Fuddle / nursemaggie fab news :j
Don't worry I am on the house deads
well today was going ok , getting my head around stuff that needs to be done , he seams to have taken lots of assits out the house allready , but not to worried yet as think I have mentioned most to my solicitor ...
as we are both supposed to be focusing on the kids , we had just told the youngest that we were splitting up , not to worry as both of us will be around kind of talk , he agreed not to tell them about her until the kids were a bit more settled ... just wait a couple of weeks , time for them to get there heads around things ...
so , I have been busy today , didn't check fb till just before we were about to go out , as he hasn't been around much thought I would check to see if he was near or coming around first .... opened up his page to see them together , him and his lovely lady .... In another town about 2 hrs away , so he is obviously staying there ... he has spent about 30 mins with the kids in the last 2 weeks , done bu--er all with them ...
so nice for my kids to see , so had to tell them what has happened , upset/angry kids ,kids that can see through him , now they no why hes not spending time with them ...
I must admit I did post on my own page at just how upset for them I was , broken promises ,selfishness ,disappointed . But I kept it dignified and clean ..
why are people so stupid ???
So now the world knows , the real reason not the cr-- he has been spreading . I would like to hope he is a little disgraced with himself as he took the post down after about 4 hrs ...
he is supposed to be calling after work tomorrow ... dream on ... not waiting all day for 5 mins of his time , so train tickets bought 4 kids , plus other halves and dgc are out for the day , new adventure ..
as yet no message to the kids to explain himself , youngest dd has realised fast that he is not doing what he promised , I pray it makes him wake up and realise he has to be a father
as for the bar , he has hardly been there , he is not replying to any messages sent by his friends ... just walked out of his life , has gave up everything he has ever done ..
everyone is shocked ..
everyone is behind me , now they know the truth , so I keep going , hold my head up and fight for everything I have worked for .

Burtha,
Silly question, but have you had the locks changed yet. They come in when you aren't there and take what they want.
This is IMPORTANT.0 -
Gosh, yes burtha, get those locks changed immediately if not before. He is obviously not the man you thought him to be so you can't trust him to act in a moral way.
I am glad that he has come out and that now everyone knows what has happened.
You can be out and proud, you have the moral high ground. Glad everyone is behind you. At some point he is so going to regret what he has done, but you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube and he will just have to live with it. You, however, in spite of how unlikely it seems now, will thrive and have the love and respect of your family and your community.
Well done for keeping your dignity and not sinking to his level of behaviour.
Have a lovely family day.
Always in our thoughts.

Oh thank you for keeping us updated Burtha - you know how much we care about you and your family. Part of me thinks karma sometimes comes quicker than expected and given your post I wonder if he'll want to come back in a few months when reality kicks in and the gloss wears off.
Nursemaggie - well done to your DS and his persistence. Will he also be carrying on with his Japanese?Small victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle0 -
I'm glad for you burtha that everything is now out in the open. You have nothing to be ashamed of, his behaviour has been appalling and he knows it.
Your friends will be very important to you at the moment, try to let them do what they can, they just want to help.
Love to you all.0
