Hi, I'm new to this website. My husband left me in June this year, I am living in the family home with my two daughters aged 6 and 7. We are only communicating via solicitors and it is very messy. I would love to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Hey Libra1975 (good star sign, great year... Both mine too)

This time last year, I was in a terrible place.... pretty much thought life was over.

One year on (with 9 months love and care from wiki) I am in a new home, living my life as I like to, I am stronger, happier and enjoying myself.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, I won't say it will be an easy ride on the roller coaster, but hey, we will all help as much as we can and get you through it.

Anything I can do to help, just let me know xx

Thanks Kiria

I wouldn't mind fast forwarding the next 6 months to be honest.

I appreciate all the support I get. Glad I found this website.

I owe it all to the Mail on Sunday, was reading You magazine yesterday and there was an article about how someone that you loved can act so vile during divorce and the biggest mistake you can make is expecting your ex to act honourably!

Hi Libra and welcome to Wikivorce

My husband left me June 2008. The first 8 months were the worst:(

I am much stronger now, able to see him without wanting to cry or kill him.

Not even got as far as divorce process yet, but coping with the fact he's had a sensitivity bypass and is clearly happier spending time with his ow's children than with his own.

You will get there, we are all here to help.

I left my X 3 years ago next month and I honestly thought my life was over. 3 teenage daughters, no family around, very overweight. Life stank. It really did, I just didn't want to wake up.

Nearly 3 years down the line, I am 7 stone lighter, through healthy eating and no more bullying. Girls doing great, one off to University on Saturday, one just got straight A stars in her 11 GCSEs.

My life is better than it ever has been in my adult life. Really, truly.

You will get through this, especially with the children, they keep you going, so you have no choice.

Take care.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. My ex left me 6 years ago now with two young children (then 7 and 2)and it was very hard to start with but you do get through. We had been together for 21 years and it came as a total shock! Focus on you and your kids and it will get easier.

My life is better now than it had been in years. Met someone else and we got married 4 years ago. Studied and got better job.

It is hard now, but you can get through and build a new life for you and your kids
