Dear VNXH,

I am pondering about pondersome things. What are you doing, I ponder?

The SHL is contemplating the latest bit of fuckwittery from a legaltastic viewpoint.

I merely remain navel gaze in a reflective sort of manner. My mind continually mulls over and over, in a ruminatory sort of manner.

I am pleased to report that fuck all has happened to day except I got on with some shit.

Woman, thoughtful.

Wwk...i have a tear in my eye from your last post. You are remarkable. I wish you the brightest future you could imagine.

My own battle plods on and I'll think of you as I await the lies on the form e that he will avoid filling in. My battle will be less eloquent, less dramatic but no less sweet when I get to the end.

Triumph at long last. I'm not the only lurker that will miss your posts WWK! An inspiration to us all Flowers Shamrock Wine Cake Grin

flightywoman · 17/03/2015 21:17

Many years ago a bright and brave woman I only knew virtually finally broke free from her fuckwit. In the forum where she shared her story, it made all of us cry. And when she was finally free - well, I didn't know it was possible to feel such joy for a person I only knew from her words, but I cried with joy when she got there.

And today, dear WWK, I feel the same way - that a bright and brave and wonderful person is free to live the life she wants in any way she damn-well wants it.

Here's to you, and your future, may it give you everything you ask. Wine

Tobyjugg · 17/03/2015 21:19

Brilliant. Have a happy life WWK. You've earned it.

Redhead11 · 17/03/2015 21:19

I am so pleased for you that i hardly know how to tell you. Madam, i applaud your courage and bravery in holding out for a good deal. Congratulations!!!!!

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 17/03/2015 21:46

WWK - you are just Brilliant. Well done indeed for standing up for what was fair for you and flooring the Twat at the very last, just when he probably was rubbing his hands thinking he'd done well out of it.

Bloody marvellous work

marriednotdead · 17/03/2015 22:36

Congratulations. Not on getting the settlement you deserved, nor the divorce. No one signs up for that on their wedding day.

Congratulations on retaining and reviving the amazing woman that you always were. I sense enormous pride and admiration from every one of us who lurked and posted since you began these threads.

And so begins the rest of your life, enjoy! WineFlowers

NailItToTheCounterLordFerguson · 17/03/2015 22:36

Wow. Just read the whole thread in one sitting and have to say I'm in awe. You have nerves of steel, amazing work today Grin.

To Freedom! Wine

whyMe2014 · 17/03/2015 23:28

WWK...you are a wonder....you have grown over the months and we have all come with you on your journey to freedom. Of course it's not what you planned but you have got here and now your life is yours again. You are one tough cookie.

And despite going through your own traumas you have spent time supporting others...I for one am eternally grateful for that support and your wise words have got me through difficult times.

I have no doubt that whatever you choose to do now you will flourish.
Big hugs for your new journey...take that first step and you go girl! xx

TheFormidableMrsC · 17/03/2015 23:47

I want to add what will probably be the last post on this thread tonight...probably like WWK I am absolutely heartened and touched by the messages posted here today. There is no victory in divorce, it's tough and it's shit, but I have never know anybody deal with a situation like this with such dignity and grace. I say this from the bottom of my heart, we have become friends through this awful ordeal that you are, thankfully, finished with, mine nearly...very nearly, and I am so grateful for your friendship and ongoing support.

I can't express enough what a lovely person WWK is, however, she's a feckin' vegetarian and now I have to stress over meal planning instead...a welcome distraction for me! See you next week lovely, I couldn't do it without you and tomorrow...well it's not just another day is it? It's your future, your new life. Time to grab it by the short and curlies!! Love you lots xxxx

Bogeyface · 18/03/2015 00:07

What?

She's a fecking veggie?! So she'll be spending her newly gotten gains on sprouts?

Fuck.That.

:o

CruCru · 18/03/2015 00:25

Ah well done!

TheFormidableMrsC · 18/03/2015 00:27

LOFL Bogey...bless WWK, the last two times she was here she bought pizza and Chinese...the time before that, DD cooked for us, a Quorn bolognese. This time she's getting pretend steak. Don't tell her :-D

Bogeyface · 18/03/2015 00:29

Schtum!

Actually I dont eat meat myself but I do eat Haribo so no veggie credentials here.

And more to the point, where do I get an invite to Chinese and Pizza nights?! :o

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 18/03/2015 00:29

I do hope that WWK does come back and tells us how freedom feels - but til then, I'm just going to make use of a new facility that I've just been made aware of:

StarStarStarStarStar

That's 5 stars for you, WWK - well deserved. Thanks

Bogeyface · 18/03/2015 00:29

Well done to you!
Your last post actually made me cry.
You've been through hell an back and then done it again and again.
But you got there..... eventually.... on your terms.
I feel extremely humbled and honoured to have been part of your long battle.
And also very privileged to have read how you have coped and how wonderfully you write. With whit and sarcasm screaming out of every line.
And the sorrow you have suffered is so clearly visible too.
You truly are an inspiration to women all over who will hopefully take some strength from what you have been through.
Keep posting to let us know how you are getting on.
And keep giving good advice to the others who are starting their journeys. Your advice on their threads is, no doubt, invaluable to them.
WOOHOO TO YOU!
