That's it really. I have never been a very strong person, and that's one of the reasons why the marriage has broken down. I have become exactly what he wanted me to be and I have lost myself. I am easily buffeted by events, over sensitive, inclined to depression and melancholia and anaesthetising myself with fags and wine. But I want to be really strong now, for myself and the dcs. I am mainly terrified for us all, but also determined to get through this and become a tough old broad, preferably one without an alcohol problem and a 50 a day habit.(that's not where I am now but I can easily see it happening.) How do you do it? Is it possible? How do you all do it? How do you deal with the day to day, and how do you big yourselves up at the end of the day?
