Dear jlo5

I am so pleased for you that you have found the unbelievable strength and managed to walk out. I apologise that I have not managed to post for over 5 months but I have been reading and kept watching your progress.
You are now providing me with a glimmer of light, I am further down the road than I was, I’m nearly ready to walk out, I have just a few practical things to sort out then there will nothing left to stop me,except my own self doubt that I can do this. I am finding bravery from places I didn’t know I had but still the stress and lies and frustration I feel are causing weight loss, skin breakouts, smoking, over drinking, too much coffee…etc.
I will post again when I have taken the next step but for now I just wanted to say that you are an amazing mummy and woman and don’t expect too much from yourself, everything will take time, your entire life has changed and will continue to change, relationships with old friends, with new friends as you introduce yourself as a single mum, so so much, I will try and take my own advice here and really carve out time to take care of yourself, with some calming meditation, or just sitting quietly with a cup of tea watching the clouds and birds carry on as they do every day.

Thought about you a lot and will continue to hope you see how strong, and amazing you are.
