MN a lifeline - thank you

[leadinglady]

I am fairly new to MN. I have been following a few threads and have commented on a couple but I just wanted to say i discovered this forum a couple of weeks ago and am totally addicted. Its fast becoming my lifeline.

I have very few friends in rl and the few that I do see i could not be as honest with them and i think i will be able to on here.

I am in the process of separating from dp after 22 years we have 2 dc. For the past 5 years i have felt so lonely and unhappy. dp and i don't talk to each other, as soon as the kids go bed the silence is louder than the 2 of them arguing and i head off to my room too. I have only just started to re discover myself again and gain some of my confidence back. its a wonderful feeling. I know that being a single mum is going to be tough but I know its right. I didn't want to break the family up but the stress of being together has started to affect my health.

I want to be happy, I want to have sex (6 years without it taking its toll). Although i hate the idea of breaking up the family i think this is the best thing for us. I think we might even becomes friends again once we are both settled else where.

I could go on but this thread would become too long.

I have read a lot of the other post and it is reassuring to find so many people in this situation.

I just want to say a big THANK YOU. I know over the coming months this is going to be my life line.
