pops you did rel good girl you need to see that.you didn't slide to the floor behind the door clutching your chest wanting to die.In my book you did good.the girlfriend is revelling in it she won't be when your son says mummy doesn't do it like that, or my mummy says blah blah get the picture.alsoshe won't really want son in the way so effectively you get the better deal here.try and switch your thinking.keep strong you are doing good.
hope you slept it is difficult i know ,an afternoon nap and a book may be in order.get ready for son's return he may be a little monster as he will be confused.ignore any awful behaviour.look into his eyes and let him know by your smile that he is the most wonderful little boy in the world.

Hi Poppie. Poor you. I know the feeling. Its utter betrayal and hurt. This pain is like no toothache. Its deep inside you. Some people have no remorse. I could never inflict this pain on someone else but there are people in this world that can. One of them is yr ex. Looks like he is treating his son as an accessory. U should put your kids up as number one in yr life. After he helped make them. But he is all loved up with his new toy and as usual the kids come second. Thats awful.

But what to do? Just continue to be a good mum. Rebuild you and in time you will not feel this hurt. Twelve months is a small amount of time to get over someone. It also shows that you are not an utter bitch that you feel this way. Chin up girl. People like you are rare in this world. You are solid gold girl. Be good, Chris.

Thank you all for your words of support, I didn't resort to the wine Sun as I haven't had any for 12 months but I did eat half a tub of ice cream, felt a bit yuk later though. After early night and sleeping till 6.00 am which is good for me I felt a little brighter. Took myself off to see Mamma Mia today and laughed and cried then laughed some more. Its a real make you feel good movie. Love Poppie

Poppie,

Thats the idea, one day at a time, I try to plan my weekends without my children, so I am busy and dont dwell on how i am feeling.

12 months, isnt that long if you consider the scale of what has happened.

Dont be down on yourself for being upset about it, that is totally understandable, expect to be upset by him, then you will be better prepared and when he no longer gets to you, you will know that you are over him.
