      It’s New Years Eve. And I’ve had a wonderful Christmas without him. But I’m accepting it’s ok to feel a little sad. Even though I now know all the reasons he behaved the way he did, left the way he did, there are still moments when I don’t want to believe, or it’s hard to accept, he’s moved on so easily, that the love I thought he had for me and my family wasn’t real. Wasn’t what I thought it was. And for that I find myself shedding a tear tonight.

      But I know tomorrow I will wake up excited for my newfound freedom and can’t wait for all the good times I have to look forward to in 2023.

      Happy new year everyone x

      Well done, you’re so right. I’ve found this first festive season hard, lots of emotions and it’s ok to feel a mixture of happiness, sadness/grief and hope all at the same time. Here’s hoping for a happy 2023 all round x

      Thank you Bananaboat and Watersprite. As suspected my tears have gone today, and one day I hope he occupies less space in my head. He really doesn’t deserve any of my time or energy. Hopefully my brain will realise that soon!

      Here’s to a better 2023 for us all x
