      I’m feeling really low.
      I have just looked through all of our old photos of us and the kids and they are all so bright and happy. How the f**k did it come to this? I know he treated me badly and I know he didn’t respect me but the kids have lost so much and I’ve lost my family. Being a single mum is hard and lonely. Sometimes I think it is just best to get back with him, it’ll be easier than being lonely. I know this isn’t true.
      We used to go out and take the kids on adventures and have fun but once the doors were closed it was generally a different story. But the bad things slowly leave you and you’re left with all the happy memories, these hurt the most. You want to forget the good times and focus on the bad to keep you strong and to keep you away but all the smiles, the cuddles, the laughter come to the fore front. They haunt me. They make me want him.
      I f*****g hate this.

      Thisisme…it’s bleep tough isn’t it!
      We are with you, & no doubt other ladies have the same thoughts and feelings, myself included. Have to sometimes take off my ‘happy times specs’ myself, and read a couple of his nasty emails give myself a reality check..

      ..as you say it’s a different story in reality.

      Keep posting we are here to support each other
