TACP - I have just stumbled across your other thread. What I wrote previously, was written with only knowing the basics from this thread. Now, having skimmed the other one I feel even stronger that you need to move on. I wont say all the bad things about him that are said on the other thread. Some may be true, but I do not want to judge.
God give you peace today so that you can make a clear decision and know that you can rely on God for the strength to get through this.

CaptainDippy · 06/04/2010 16:03

I just can't keep up!!!!

Thoughts & Prayers are with you all and a belated Happy Easter!! to you all too!! HE IS RISEN!!!

Must do summary and new thread soon xx

Hello! Thank you for prayers. I did submit first papers on the long road to divorce today Thank you MaryBS and DutchOMA especially for kind e-mails x x x

Please pray for my LO's, as some of the threads on mumsnet make me worry I'll end up with dysfunctional children from all of this My DD was only asking about daddy today but I don't know where he is again

Hermya321 · 06/04/2010 23:05

TACP I'll be praying for you and your LO's. I know what you did can't have been easy. But I aree with PA you have done EVERYTHING you possibly can and that was what I felt the most when I was reading your message yesterday. Rest with God and rely on him and he will suplly all that you need.

Hermya321 · 06/04/2010 23:07

I meant supply.

ZipadiSoozi · 06/04/2010 23:27

TACP - I can only add my prayers to your dilema, and another virtual hug!

ZipadiSoozi · 06/04/2010 23:29

music - my continued prayers for u, silly question, but how are you copeing?

teaandcakeplease · 07/04/2010 17:09

Thanks for the prayers. My H appears relieved and unrepentant or bothered by the fact I've commenced divorce. Keep the prayers up for me though, as it's hard letting go of a dream of my husband, big family, happy ever after and instead facing the prospect of being a single and lonely parent

Sorry for even more me me me messages

How is everyone else?

PositiveAttitude · 07/04/2010 17:57

TACP - You may consider it the end of your "dream", but the reality when you are through this will be far better than the life you have been living these past months. Prayers for you and for protection of your DCs during this.

I am having a wonderful week with no work. Loving it and beginning to wonder if I could possibly drop one of my jobs to spend more time like this. Lovely beach walks and spring cleaning.

Hope you are having a good week.

Clarissimo · 07/04/2010 18:21

tacp i grew up with a very unhappy set of aprents who didn't spilt, I often wished they would and am sure I would be better off ahd they done so: DH's Dad waited until he was 60 before leaving MIL (for someone else), by which time MIL was also 60 and has not managed to rebuild her life in any real way or combat the financial results.

I think what you are doing is by far the best thing, there are far worse things than being the child of a divorced couple. besides, when i was a kid I only knew one single aprent and the child did feel very odd: that is a compeltely different thing nowadays, it is not an unusual thing at all to have a aprent living elsewhere.

Will pray for you.

WRT to my request for a prayer the otehr day, he ahs been gone over a week now and other than one sighting the day after no news . I've never known someone so devoted to their children, can't see he would do this deliberately if in good frame of mind.

teaandcakeplease · 07/04/2010 21:32

Clarissimo - sorry to hear your friends ex is still missing Praying x

MaryBS · 08/04/2010 08:29

Thats so sad Clarissimo.

TACP, focus on the present and getting through immediate stuff. You WILL have a future, but its in God's time and in God's hands. This is SO much better than living a lie, although it might not feel like it. One day I pray he'll realise what he's lost...

MrsCadwallader · 08/04/2010 14:47

TACP, I don't have any great words of wisdom, but I am still praying.

Clarissimo, praying for your situation too.

teaandcakeplease · 08/04/2010 15:36

Thanks Mrs C, I need them x

JentlyDoesIt · 08/04/2010 16:15

Afternoon...

TACP - praying for you, it really is the right thing to do. It must be so hard for you and you sound amazingly strong.

Clarissimo - prayers for that sad situ.

Hope everybody else is ok and enjoying the hols? It's is so warm here today, beautiful blue skies
We had the pre trial hearing today - my first time in court with DP. DP had to stand in "the box" where they put the accused and I immediately had a (very quiet) massive panic attack. I basically just sat in the corner of the public bit and shook like a leaf it was a 10 min session, just to check all info is in place to start the trial proper on Monday. The trial should take about 2 weeks with the jury going to decide on the 2nd tues or weds.

For those not aware, DP has been charged with a rape of a woman dating back to 1994. It all blew up last year after he was arrested after we had a row. His DNA was taken and this rape ordeal came up. I am 100% sure he didn't do it (we cannot deny sex with this woman but we can deny rape) but the decision will be in the hands of the jury.

DP could be facing 10 years in prison if found guilty. Please please pray for a positive outcome for us all and for strength (even more strength) in the next couple of weekis. I will update the thread when I can whilst the trial is on.

Sorry to ramble on. Now off for a cuppa in the garden... xx

Hermya321 · 08/04/2010 20:10

TACP Still praying for you!!

Jently I'll be praying for you, court is never an easy thing for anyone to go through. Have you got support for you and yours during this time?

Can you guys pray for me again, I'm finding (once again) that I'm becoming increasingly anxious. Waking up in the middle of the night, crying at work and feeling very very irrational about things. I do think I'm at the end of whatever tether I am on at the moment. My personal life is a whirly gig of whirliness at the moment and my work can be very chaotic. I can't control whats happening with my personal life, so I think I'm turning to work and trying to control that.

I'm fine when I'm not at work, but the night before I'm due to go back. I won't sleep and I'll become a walking wet tissue.

Realistically I've got two choices. One, I take some time off and then go to the Docs if I've not managed to sort myself out or two I try and hold on and see how I go.

What would you do? I would appreciate some advice as well as a prayer or two.

DutchOma · 08/04/2010 20:44

Hermya why not go to the doctor's now and explain the problem. Maybe a few days' sick leave will set you up for a better time during your pregnancy. And you might feel better once someone has 'prescribed' some rest for you.
Did you find my e.mail by the way?

teaandcakeplease · 08/04/2010 21:02

Hermya - At stages of both my pregnancy I had anxiousness, irrational thoughts, panic attacks and sleep issues. I found rescue remedy quite good. I suspect it was hormones playing havoc with me.

I can't remember if you've mentioned much about work, what you do, situation etc so I maybe barking up the wrong tree here

But you do have a lot on your plate, how's your hubby work wise now? Is he temping still?

Maybe worth going to GP soonish. I am praying for you as well x
