Upside down and inside out my life that is!

After 17 years of co habiting we finally seperated early this year. I was effectively made homeless as my partner bought the house (while i was pregnant) in his sole name.
After a few weeks in emergency homeless accomodation we are now rehoused by local authority and settling down well. The children see their dad by mutual agreement twice a week.

I am moving soon to be with my new parter and the children are moving with me as their dad has no parental responsibility.

As we were never married he was not entitled to PR by law and for reasons i cant disclose ( i am subject to a court order not to disclose) he is not able to successfully apply for it now.

I cant believe how my life has turned upsduie down in the space of a few months, some of the biggest upsets i have endured have turned me an attractive shade of grey lol

My children have witnessed violence and have had their eyes opened to the extraordinary lengths people will go to keep hold of material possessions.

I cant hold my head up high and say i never bad mouth their dad, i cant help it, every time they come back from a visit they are so badly behaved after listening to tales of how evil i am, how my new partner is also equally bad etc, and the tears etc (from dad) tear at their heart strings.

Hopefully distance will bring things calmer, we will only be visiting our old home on a monthly basis to facilitate visits as nothing has been to court regarding access/contact

I wish everyone newly seperated or thinking about it some luck in their lives to turn it all around

love to you all
