Debt, debt and more debt.

Primrose

Emma. I truly hope yiur honest conversation with your mum will have hit home and that she will now back off and think long and hard before starting contentious conversations with you..  Yiu have done incredibly well on reducing your debts.  Any long haul endeavour requires patience - a 25 year mortgage also feels like a lifetime of penance but if you just get on with life at the same time the penanceslowly drip feeds away.   One can dres incredibly well on charity shop clothing. The wearer is the onky one who knows its source and getting bargains while everybody else is paying through the nose for items, while you're reducing your debts at the same time is a double bonus.  Keep up with the good work.  You,ve done amazing well since starting your new life.  Your ex is going to have such a crash when his lack of reality finally implodes.  Every pound off your debts is the equivalent of another boulder round his neck as he still refuses to face to face the realities of the life he's living.

Well done for being open and honest with your Mum Emma. Sometimes just being able to say how you actually feel can lift an enormous weight.  Things seem to be on a more positive track for you at the moment. Keep going

Hello again,
My experience is that genuinely happy people don't post about it on Facebook. They're too busy having fun and loving their partner to spend time talking about it online. They are just doing it all for the attention they aren't getting from the relationship. You would know very little me and my relationship from my Facebook. You certainly wouldn't know I have kids. Don't let that fake stuff upset you. Poor her is all I have to say about it. She's walking into a nightmare and the early doors isn't fun. 

Your mum and your daughter have both said you're good looking. They must mean it. That's nice. I guess.

Whoops. Wasn't finished. I would say it's clear from your posts that you're a very caring and kind person. And kindness is my favourite trait. I think its the most important so you're a winner in my book. 

And £29k is ace. Once you start on the f&f offers you'll be cutting it right down. You're doing brilliantly xxxx

I love that you find ways to make the money your spending back. I'm losing weight at the moment and think like yourself I may have to start looking in charity shops now they are open again. Although I'm not as good as you at selling on clothes that no longer fit

Well done on the book project Emma.  I suspect as you progress it will dig up a lot of memories which hopefully now, with more experience behind you, you'll be able to process and reinvent in a positive way, whatever your plot or theme.   It will also be a long term project to focus on and no doubt your running time will be a source of idea generation so two bonuses in one !

Great to see another positive post from you Emma.
If yiur  ex were ever to read these I think he would be surprised at how effectively you atr managing to shake off all his negative influences.  And at the end of the day, when he comes crashing down, that perhaps will be one of his most humiliating  put-downs.
Keep going!
