Hi, Overtiredmum update

[Overtiredmum]

Hi all, can't find my old thread but for those that know me and have held my hand I thought I'd pop in to say hi!

Got a third interview tomorrow at the same place, no pressure!! This job could change my life

H tried to raise funds to buy me out of the house yesterday but got refused, so we are progressing with the sale. I still have tremendous guilt, but I know I need to get over that in order to make a decent life.

M is still being the same and I am trying to restrict all contact, although she is managing that perfectly well on her own

Not much more to tell. I feel stronger than ever, but experience has taught me that can be short lived.

I hope everyone here is ok, the support I have had here has meant and continues to mean the world to me xxxxxxx

Bumping for the night crew!

Hi OTM - Glad you have updated. You sound strong and together.

You seem to be doing all you really can - restricting contact with your M, selling the house, going for a new day job. Are you still having counselling?

Good luck with the interview!

Well done you! Fingers crossed!

Hope the interview goes well

I had to postpone my last counselling session because of school holidays. I'm waiting for a saturday appointment to come up, but I will definitely be going back once I get a date.

The DCs are doing great, DD is looking forward to starting school in a few weeks, theres some lovely rental places about at the moment, but I can't really look properly until I know a rough date for exchange and completion. Am waiting to see how the chain is progressing.

Like before, I'm so scared to look forward, but we'll get there.

Yay, OTM!
You sound different, much stronger and more yourself somehow.
Even if your strength is short lived, it'll come back, and for longer
lengths of time.

Fingers crossed for that interview!

Wish me luck?! Xx

Dear OTM
I've read your whole previous thread this evening and just wanted to say that you've done amazingly. You've handled a totally crap (understatement) situation with a lot of dignity and grace that neither your M or H deserved.
I'd like to wish you and your lovely, lucky children a very safe and happy future. You've been incredibly brave to go through everything you have, so that your DC can have the best future. You sound a great mum, you're an inspiration and I hope you meet someone who will love and cherish you and your DCs. Best wishes with your interview, you'll be an asset to any company if you can survive the shit you've been through, you can handle anything a career throws at you!

I know today's interview is the testing - although weird way round?! I did casual chat, followed by meeting partners (law firm) now tests, usually other way round! I'm trying to tell myself I'm working there today, as opposed to being tested?! I just feel sick this morning but that's normal, right???!

I don't think I've done anything amazing, I still have been able to make any of those people understand why I feel the way I do, h still comments that we might get back together one day, even though I have told him point blank to stop wasting any thoughts on that one.

The support in here and the hand holding has been truly amazing. To find friends in hours of darkness and despair has proved so much to me.

Off to the cinema on my own Friday again, learning to love my own company. Want to see The Conjuring, but am I brave enough??

*haven't been able - doh!!!!!

Well done OTM - the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter & closer!

How did the interview go OTM?

And no -i couldn't see the Conjuring... really couldn't. Hate horror, and am a right girl about it. Good luck tho!

Didn't go too well but mainly because their system is so different from what I'm used to. I managed to complete most of it, and I was honest to what I couldn't do and explained why.

I'm not feeling optimistic and I probably won't hear til Monday now anyway.

You completed most of it, on a system very different from what you're used to? That sounds very good to me.
Bit of training and that's soon sorted.
Fingers crossed still ...

Won't you need training on their systems anyway? Fingers Crossed for you.

Where is original thread?? Thanks! (Goldfish memory)

I don't know how to do links Slippery!

Thanks wordy x

Wow, I've just read through my original thread, and although there's still a slight hint there, is that person really me??? Xx

You've been through a lot OTM. But you sound better with every post..

Thanks for this, have now read the entire thread(took me a while)! Wow, OTM, best of luck with the job and keep going!!!

Hi OTM - How is the job interview/search going?
