Hello L

Thank you for your kind and supportive words. Yes I know I deserve better and that this journey ahead will be a better life for me with/without a man. While I fear what is ahead, I am embracing it. Like yourself, mid-last year I had realised that I needed to start on the path of acceptance, forgiveness and letting go to heal properly. I was doing well – got a job promotion on my birthday, refurnished the house to what I wanted and took control of the property settlement which got signed off before Christmas.

Finding out about this ‘other’ woman was a blow, as I thought he held the same values on marriage or held some respect for me as the mother of our two beautiful daughters to ‘wait’ until after the divorce. I’ve realised now that he is not the man I had married, that our values different.

It will be a painful journey, but as long as I hold on to my values on this journey ahead, have self compassion on the emotions I feel, and lead the life I want to have, I know it will be all okay.

I hope you’ve had a better day. Hugs to you. xx
