I start my new life on Tuesday when I move myself, 2dcs, 1 dog and 1 cat into our new home.
This will be my second divorce from an EA husband. I have had to overcome the embarrassing reality that I have got myself involved with an EA man again. This time round it has not taken me as long to wrestle with the 'what's the right thing to do' etc, I know STBXH won't 'improve'.
I worried what my kids, friends, family, neighbours would think. The only ones that matter are my kids and they know it is the right thing to do. Although it does not matter but all the others know I am doing the right thing too and have been incredibly supportive.
It's not been easy. I have a very ill child for whom I am his full time carer. Another teenage child who I didn't want to let down.
For those of you who are wavering, putting obstacles in your own way, delaying your new life. If I can do it .... so can you. Believe in yourself, stand up for yourself, believe in your own capabilities to run your own and your childrens lives well, independently and enjoyably!
I am exhausted, scared but hugely proud of myself.
