Been following your journey onit. I am in awe of your strength in the face of this awful situation you have found yourself in.
I really hope you are rewarded with much happiness and contentment in your new home.
Try to close your heart to the LCB, he does not deserve you and I don't think he ever did.
One day he will realise what he has thrown away. Not only has he deserted you but also, the DC he is supposed to love and cherish. He will find the guilt very hard to bare as time goes by, especially when it becomes apparent how much he is missing, by being a weekend dad.
I believe this relationship will soon flounder after the dust settles. He deserted his family and broke their hearts. It is built on deceit and his family's heartache. He will never find true happiness with this woman.
One day onit you will meet a good man who will love and care for you, and all this will be just a bad memory.
Remember hold your head high and be strong none of this was your fault.
