Today is the last day living in France.
DH walked out 6 weeks ago, said he didn't love me and couldn't live with me.
At first I thought I could stay here but when he asked for a divorce it became clear it would be to painful and too difficult to stay.
I've been back to the UK for 2 and sorted out a place to live, benefits and even started to sort out furniture and also shipping for all our things here. Now I am just finishing up the packing and tomorrow we fly back to our new life.
My mum has been brilliant through all of this and there is no way I can thank her enough, other than to build a good life for me and DD.
I know that I will manage and the pain will ease.
I know that really it will be easier to just be the two of us with no arguments than the three of us with arguments.
But today it just seems so daunting.
I have been reading the LP threads and it is clear that people work tremendously hard to build good and happy homes for their families and that they are successful in this. I hope that I will be too.
And I know that my situation isn't as bad as some. Just a sad, sad day for me.

I know I will cope but today the thought of being an LP fills me with dread.
