Its very funny the way the world turns, I wold not even have thought about going back to work this time 2 weeks ago, but you are right every cloud...

I need to start providing for my DC and showing them that Mummy doesn't just stay at home, but will always be there when they need me most.

This has really lifted my spirits, although I have not fully discussed it and tbh am not even sure the job is right for me, to be reminded of my "drive and skills" is just what I needed to remind me that before he truly wore me down, disrespected me and was a total twunt, I was a very strong person who people obviously thought a lot of grin

every cloud...
What is it with this world...
Just had a phonecall from an ex collegue who has started up a business and is sourcing old names who he feel would be perfect for the role. It would mean a little bit of study so I could return to practice, and I said I would not make any decisions for 3 months, but it would be a job I know I could do, school hours termtime only!!!!! I told him I wouldn't consider starting til sept 2010 as that is when ds starts school, and he thinks that would work perfectly.

I have not spoken to this person in 4 years!!!!! Amazing how opportunities present themselves when you least expect it.
Thanks minerva, I don't feel strong atm, but am getting there day by day. I have always been a very practical person, who looks for solutions and deals with them. I think it is this that has generally kept me going through life.

Unfortunately the emotional side comes out when practical things are done for the day, and the bottle of wine is open. It is in those times that Mn has been brilliant, and I truly believe I would not have got through this year let alone the last 2 weeks as well as I have without my MN friends smile

Norks,

I am not sure I can add anything but I have been lurking on this thread - there are much wiser women than me on here! I do have to say that I really admire you for the courage you are demonstrating going through this.

Stay strong and keep in touch!
