Hi everyone. A lot of you will remember me from my thread a while ago about my vile ExH and his abuse of me and the kids, and us ending up in a refuge and the subsequent court injunctions etc...life was pretty st. Well, it was a pretty black cloud but I've found a massive silver lining in it .
I've found the love of my life!!!!!! I met him shortly after H moved out, and since then he has driven down to mine (225 miles) 3 times, and I've just come back after a weekend with him, having driven up there on Thursday morning...and we're talking about the future already. We talk on the phone every single night, sometimes for 5 hours plus (thank God for BT free calls! lol)
I had no intentions of meeting anyone else, let alone falling in love, but I guess you can't choose who you fall for, or when it happens!
Just thought I'd post about it, as so many of you were so supportive of me and now I have good news to share with you too!
Take care

I don't remember your story, but I couldn't let such a happy post go unanswered!

Congratulations. Enjoy!

Did you have to travel across water to gain your sanity ??

Cross the water????

What a lovely positive post! Also don't remember your story but really pleased for you!

Hi all . My story involved an abusive H, emotionally and occassionally physical. He was awful to my children from my previous marriage, and social services investigated after I had to get the police to remove him from the house. SS wanted to put the kids on the at risk register at one point. He used to spend hours and a fortune on internet chat rooms exchanging photos/texts etc with other women, and we hadn't had sex for almost 5 years (most of the marriage). So it was pretty dire and I was dreadfully down on myself, no self esteem etc.
I finally plucked up the courage to get an injunction and he left (didn't even bother showing up in court).
Then I met New Man. He's unlike anyone I've ever met. After years of being abused he makes me feel like a princess...he spent a few days at mine, having ridden 220 odd miles on his motorbike. Then when he went back he missed me so much the next night he set off at 11pm and arrived back at mine at 3.30am! Spent a few more days, went back to see his son, and then came back again!
My self confidence is starting to build up again now all thanks to him, and the 'old me' is starting to re-emerge!
I know and he knows we won't have it all plain sailing...I have 3 kids and whilst my youngest 2 already adore him, my DD is coming up for 13 and at a very difficult age. At the moment she seems to be taking on the role my ExH vacated...ie being verbally abusive and downright vile. NM saw all this on one of his visits and still wants me . If it was isolated behaviour on her part I'd say it was because of my new relationship but it started before he came on the scene, when she started at a new school. So despite the problems, we are going from strength to strength .
If I can find a new life, then anyone can!

Lbt, well done to you, this is very inspiring as I need to start again myself. Long may you go from strength to strength x
