I don't know if anyone remembers any if my previous posts regarding dp's ex. Basically this time last year, even 6 months ago she was making life as difficult as possible for us. I won't go into detail as that's not what this post is about.
Well- it's all pretty much stopped! We're now in a situation where dsd1 is living with us (doesn't want to see her mum much but we're working on that) and dsd2 and dss are with us nearly half the time. All their decision, with the support of their mum. Also, her general attitude towards dp and me has completely changed. We've recently told her that I'm pregnant (it's been quite a difficult pregnancy so far) and she has been incredibly supportive and has been encouraging the dsc's to help me out while there here!
She's now accepting that she's been suffering from depression, dp thinks from long before they broke up. Of course things aren't perfect, if dp and her always saw eye to eye they'd still be together! But for now at least, I can honestly say that things are about as good as it's possible to be.
Just wanted people to know that there is hope. Think it's always good( and unfortunately unusual) to hear stories about things going right!
