I think Giraffe has been incredibly strong this week, she has ended a relationship, i think she needs to talk about it too

She is such a wonderful woman ( honestly) amazing fab woman and she has had the gut to walk away from a man she love as it was doing her no good.

I think it would be incredibly cathartic for her if she could offload on here.

Remind her that if she needed to leave it, if she has been upset, if she has been confused, it's about time to leave anyway.

THankyou.

Is that why you are sick jealous and worried, sickjealos and worried, the name kind of gives it away.

FF I didn't realise she was going through this, that's why I had to double check. I'm sorry to hear it's her too, Giraffe is a great lady! I thought about her dd the other day, saw a fab Giraffe toy in a shop in town but for some reason thought she wasn't mn'ing for a while. I hope you're ok g.

Fireflyfairy2 · 12/01/2007 22:30

Oh I remember!! I think! Was it he went to his mums & left you with dd? If it was then I do remember.

Lots of support offered here!! You did what you had to do girl!

Fantastic news hun. Im not at all sorry to hear that you have taken the biggest bravest step you can in an attempt to make a better caolmer life for your daughter and you.

FF is of course correct in saying you are brave and strong, you deserve better and now you will put yourself into a place to recieve it.

FF your a fab woman and i hope that Giraffe and yourself are abel to councel each other and work through the bad times so that you can enjoy the good times together...i am certain there will be many to come.
