Astrong and Independant woman wants to say thankyou

[norksinmywaistband]

It is now a year since H first told me he was leaving.

MN has helped and supported me through so many dark days in the past year and continue to do so.

I just want to say a big thankyou for getting me through these difficult times.

I have been reflecting and the person I am now compared to this time last year is so different, I am more confident, more trusting of my own judgement, and definately independent.

Things continue to be difficult on a day to day basis, but with my renewed sense of self , RL and MN support I have survived this first year.

Thankyou to all who have supported me and continue to do so

hallelujah !!

What a wonderful person you sound. I have seen you on a couple of relationship threads recently, giving support to women who are where you were at a year ago. It warmed my cockles...that's my girl

All the best to the new you and a marvellous role model of a strong woman to your children x

It may seem as though we and indeed Rl friends have helped you do this, helped you take these first steps, but i can assure we didn;t.
this was all you.

you should be proud of yourself.

well done

Norks - I can't believe it's been a year! You have done incredibly well and should be proud of yourself!!

Norks - I've followed your threads, but never posted. I'm sorry you and your children have had/are having such a hard time. Hope the latest trouble from your ex is now resolving.

You have been amazing and your loveliness shines through your posts. Good luck for the future!!!

Thanks for all the messages.

Today was ironically H's first supervised contact with the DC since the crap last week. He was very well behaved and actually hasn't even commented on why contact is now supervised.

Shame that I have had to spend the whole day in his company though

Mumsnet is SO wonderful, I am truely adicted.

Lots of love to you Nork xxx

Norks - it says rather a lot that he didn't even question the supervised visit! Isn't there someone else that can supervise it though so you don't have to spend time with him??

Norks,

You are a real star and to read your posts tonight just confirm that.

I know you are not at the end of your road yet, but the fact that you are in control (or as much as any of us are! ) of your life is a testament to your own strength and your insticts as a parent.

I am relatively new here, but read your recent posts and felt that a teeny bit of support was all you needed to help you take steps towards a better future for you and your DCs.

None of us lives a perfect life, but experience tells us that there are choices and sometimes we just need someone else beliveing in us to help us see what options as there.

Keep making it happen and stay strong for your little ones. x

Norks that is wonderful to hear

I remember your first post after your H left, and then the various ups and downs as he came and went.

I hope you have a great 2010

Just seen this - well done Norks. Have seen your posts and will learn from you x
