I like nice things and I dislike onions :) being serious, I love surprises and presents of any description so anything would be lovely because it would be sent from the heart :)

Hi I would like to join the eid chain if poss but cant guarantee wd be in time for eid. Am having lots of struggles dont mean to upset the thread but briefly ex has got new girlfriend pregnant we arent even divorced yet am struggling.

To cut long story short I wd love it if someone could send something small for my kids. I have no family nowthey have all didisowned me for separating so the kids will get sth small from me but thats it. I am sorry if it isnt appropriate to ask and understand if not possible. Of course I wd love to send something and receive a gift havnt had a gift for years but am more worried for kids

Any support in any way would help me

greeneggsandjam · 21/07/2014 13:50

Ok Ehric I will avoid the onion section. If you send me your details I will get you sent something. I aim for tomorrow or Wednesday as my posting day!

Salams I would also like to join the eid chain. Yummy I will send your kids something as well as the next person in the chain inshallah. Sorry to hear about your struggles. I think the best thing to do is just detach from your ex as much as possible and do not allow him to effect you. Keep your contact with him as minimal as possible. I think the less you know about him the easier it will be for you to move on. I know its easier said then done when you have kids and you are trying to arrange contact but maybe just go through a third party to do all the arrangements. He is a very callous and selfish individual and you shouldn't waste a second being upset about him. Just remember all the negative things about him and consider yourself lucky to have escaped. I dont know what his girlfriend is thinking to be honest. Imagine getting pregnant with a man who has not even finalised his divorce. It doesnt really bode well for the future does it. Anyway her nightmare is just beginning but Alhamdulillah yours with him has come to an end. Just think of it like that. He has not changed he is just hiding his true colours for now.

greeneggsandjam · 21/07/2014 14:07

Yummytummy I will also send you something for you children if you tell me their ages.

peacefuloptimist · 21/07/2014 14:20

Yummy I hope my post didnt come out the wrong way. I just know if I was in your position I would just want to avoid that person who caused me pain like the plague and I would want to cease all communication and contact with them. Instead I would just want to focus on myself and rebuild my life so that I can get the happiness I deserve. That is what I would like to see for you. You deserve to be happy and to be honest your ex would not be an ex if he was making you happy. Divorce is so scary for us in the muslim community because we worry so much about what will happen afterwards but to be honest I think it is more tragic when you see those women who stay with abusive, horrible, selfish husbands for their whole lives and accept a life of sadness, unhappiness, abuse and misery because they fear the consequences of divorce. Im going to stop now. I feel like Im digging a bigger hole for myself and Im not expressing myself very well but Im just trying to give you the advice I would hope someone would give to me if I was in the same position, which is forget about the loser and focus on making your own life fabulous.

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 21/07/2014 14:44

Yummy, I would be delighted to send your DC a gift. I'm the next in the chain I think so I could take yummy and also peaceful in one go, to save yummy the stress of feeling like she has to reciprocate when she can't. Or I could take peaceful and we could share yummy's DCs :)

Thankyou all so much for kind offers of sending stuff for the dcs its so kind I havnt had any kindness in rl so lovely to have some here. I can still send to someone though as well and it wd be lovely to get something if possible. Kids are ds 6 and dd 3 I am so happy for them as I cd only get a small thing for them. Cant explain how much it means

Also peaceful dont worry I know what ur trying to express and appreciate it. May ring you if ok?

greeneggsandjam · 21/07/2014 15:26

I am not sure about Eid, maybe Tuesday maybe Monday, who knows. Yummy Mummy I have sent something out to your children today in the post so I hope it arrives by the end of the week. Its in a white box. The bigger present is for your son and the 2 smaller wrapped ones are for your daughter.

Who gives you a present crescentmoon? Is it the last person to join? Do you have a cut off point to make sure you actually get something before next Eid??

How exciting crescentmoon, I will absolutely save it for the big day as its likely to be my one and only gift!!

I hope they like the little things I sent yummy, its hard knowing what to buy when you have no idea what they are into!

yummytummy · 23/07/2014 12:03

Greeneggs I am sure they will love what u have sent. Its such a lovely gesture. They are pretty standard kids and like everything so am sure wont be a problem! Thanks again

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 23/07/2014 12:19

Yummy, I went shopping and I bought little gifts for all 3 of you, I hope that's ok? And yes you get for peaceful if you can x
