Well all, I thought it was time I updated my position, it may give others in similar situations some comfort. Sorry I can't find my original thread which was started 7th October 2012, the night my H told me he was leaving me, and our two young DD's for a woman he'd been having an affair with for the past 2 years.
I received some amazing support and advice that truly helped me through the darkest of times. And it was dark. I don't think it could have got any darker.
The first 3 months were horrendous. He moved in with the OW immediately and started taking my DD's (3 and 6months at the time of the split) to stay with them. This was a struggle and I must admit I went out a lot got very drunk and often did things I would have regretted, had I been in my right mind. As t was, I didn't feel anything for a long time.
Anti depressants were prescribed, counselling was undertaken, and 'project new better life' was launched.
And now? God I am so happy. I am free of a mysogynistic, narcissistic control freak of a husband, my girls are growing up happy and healthy, and I have a lovely new man in my life who has made me see what I've been missing all these years.
If I didn't have such contempt for my ex and the OW I would thank them profusely.
So, to anyone else in this position, it may not feel like it right now, but you will survive, and not only that, you will live better. This is my ultimate revenge. Living well.
And to all those who supported me on my original thread, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your friendship and kindness.
