Nowhere else to post the happy news.

I have absolutely nowhere else to post this, having found out a month ago that my partner who I loved dearly was cheating. It had been going on for months, ended messily,he's left me for the OW and erased me from his life like I never existed. My little DD and I have been knocked for six but aanyway...

DD has been made Head Girl at school and we are over the moon! She always wanted to be head girl and after a real struggle earlier on in primary she's done it. Then today she found out that she's passed her guitar exam with distinction. I am absolutely proud of her considering the upheaval in the last few months. She adored my ex and she just couldn't understand why he'd leave us so suddenly. She cried for him.

It makes it all the sweeter because he was a musician and said several times that she wasn't very good and would never be a musician. He also said she'd never make head girl. This was during his discard period and of course she will never know he said that, it seems like he was jealous of a 10 year old as well as a lying, cheat. DD adores playing her instruments, its her main hobby and they often played together, she did this, however all on her own, because when he was busy wooing his new woman, we were left waiting at home.

Her achievements in the last months and throughout her life always make me realise that no matter how tough things are my little girl is so special to me. She's the purest soul, kind and to have anyone say she wasn't good was the kicker that made me realise this man was not worth a dime.

I've had to delete all my social media due to the split and I'm missing posting the happy news. DD is so happy and that makes my healing journey worth it.

It's lovely that your parents are taking your DD away on a holiday.
She's worked hard for her accomplishments and deserves a nice break.
This is your time to let your hair down and have a good cry, you've been so brave in front of your DD and this is your time to regroup and think about what you and your DD will do next.
All the very best to you @Imadeyouup, you sound like an amazing Mum to your equally amazing DD and I'm sure between the two of you, you'll find your way together.

Quick update on this. It's all still going on with horrible ex, despite me giving zero ammunition, not contacted, nothing. I pretend he doesn't exist.

My precious and wonderful DD however, passed her 11+ with flying colours, played the last post in front of her whole school and is absolutely flying high. I saw some videos of her playing from today at a concert they did at school and she was marvellous. I've absolutely no one to show and nowhere to repost them but maybe my vipers can offer some unmumsnetty smoo.

How he could say that she wasn't a musician and never would be is beyond me.

You are well shot of him he’s a first class cunt and you and your daughter deserve better.
well done to her and please don’t go back if he comes running to you

RollyPollyBatFace · 09/12/2025 23:45

Why is it all still going on with him? He’s not her father is he? Why aren’t you just blocking every single avenue he has to you and moving on properly with your life?

it doesn’t matter that he thinks she would nt be a head girl or be a musician. Who actually cares?

tine to really stop being hung up on him and put him where he belongs. In the past

He is blocked, I can't help new things popping up at me before I block them.

That’s wonderful news OP congratulations to you and your DD, happy days

Iizzyb · 10/12/2025 13:53

This is brilliant news @Imadeyouup. Sounds like you and DD are doing fabulously - well done to both of you.

As for ex-p just do what you can to keep him at arm’s length and try & find a way of managing yourself if/when he gets in touch. He’s probably hugely irritated things are going so well for you and DD even though he’s the one who left.

wishing you a lovely peaceful Christmas with your super DD where you can both please yourselves and do lots of fun stuff that just the two of you enjoy xx

You and your daughter are amazing and I'm glad you are both continuing to thrive. I hope he gets bored soon and leaves you alone for once and for all. Merry Christmas to you both 🎄
