Well its been a year tomorrow since ex left. Yes, he finally admitted his affair on Father's Day. I know I'm probably over reacting but will I feel the way I do every Father's Day from now on. This weekend I have only been able to think about what happened last year. My son has sent a card but didn't particularly want to see ex. I know I have come a long way in 12 months and been positive for my son but the pain and hurt from ex's deceit and lies doesn't seem to fade.

I can only imagine that the further you get from it the better it will get. but I feel for you Poppie, my wife told me on my birthday that she's having an affair, so that's going to be on my mind every birthday from now on.

Concentrate on how far you have come and how you've get better in the last 12 months, in the next 12 you'll go even further

hi poppie

your emotions and feelings are never over reacting, its how you feel isnt it, and thats real.

someone said to me recently a friend from work that you never truly get over whats happened but you learn to live and deal with it..

maybe next fathers day will be better for you hun...i truly hope so..

take care

Well it's been a week since my post and I woke up today feeling positive, I have survived all of the anniversaries, christmas, new year, and also one year without alcohol which I haven't missed so obviously don't need.

My divorce will be final next month and I know I am moving on be it very slowly. I feel at peace with my life and I am on a journey but don't know where it will take me. Hopefully somewhere good.

Good for you hun, and well done for having such a great attitiude in the face of what you've been thru. That shows the strength of character you must have, and I can only admire you for it.

Moving forward slowly is about the best we can hope for at the moment, and hopefully it will get easier now all the firsts are behind you.

Well done for giving up alcohol too, I can't imagine that has been easy under the circumstances and I, for one, am proud of you
