I know that I did the right thing-no doubt there-but I still feel sad about it.

The house sale is finally going through and I just feel so weird today.

I'm going round the house sorting stuff out and I keep having memories of my ds and dd when they were babies,painting the rooms,stuff like that and I feel so .

I was so full of hope and excitement when we came here(pushed any doubts to back of mind)-thought that we'd be happy together in our own home with ds and later dd.

I finished it-I suppose that's why I feel I'm not 'entitled' to feel bad-but am mourning the happy family I hoped we'd have-if that makes sense?

I feel exactly the same. I chose to leave my husband because his behaviour was unacceptable. I feel very sad but feel I cannot show it as I was my decision.

Like you I don't miss my ex as such but am very sad that the life I thought we were going to have will be happen and children will not have the family I wanted them to have.

I't all very hard isn't it.

That's it exactly-although I didn't want to be like my parents and have dcs growing up with parents that hate each other.

My exh was unhappy too-wasn't really cut out for family life and responsibilities that go with it,however,he would have stayed with me forever no matter how miserable we were as he hates making choices.

It's just so scary right now-has only been 8 months since split and while exh is off enjoying his old life,I'm the one sorting out somewhere to live and packing up the house etc.

Guess this is the bad stage and hopefully things will settle soon.

Feeling very sentimental-must turn radio off as it's making me gloomy!
