So my divorce came through a month ago and I''ve been on a high ever since.

I felt genuine relief. I felt free. I felt proud of myself for surviving the worst period of my life.

I threw a divorce party. It was one of the best night''s of my life!!! My friends pulled out all the stops and I was surrounded by the people I love and we laughed and we danced and drank pink champagne all night.

And since then I''ve busied myself changing my name back to my Maiden Name with so many different companies. I feel like I''ve got my identity back. I''ve joined a new gym, I''ve applied for new jobs, I''ve joined a dating agency and I''ve made plans to travel. A whole new start.

But then this wkend the ex upset me again.

Maybe I''m over-reacting but all I know is that it has set me back again.

I''ve just been out to the theatre and I drove home past the ex''s house. I really wanted to knock on the door and punch him. I won''t resort to that of course but that''s how I feel.

So I just drove home and I got in to an empty house and the silence is deafening and sometimes I just think life is so unfair.

Hey Patsy

I would have felt the same . I love my children as well , very much so . And , yes I would be disappointed with them if she did not treat them right .

You know what though , maybe he is not aware of the effect that his actions are having on his son . I know my ex used to get the cards and presents and do all that stuff .

I had to learn to do all that myself , I did , and I do. I realised the importance of making sure I connected fully with my children .



Patsy , your doing very well indeed . You cannot travel your ex journey for him he has to travel his own path now and realise he has a son that loves him and he needs to love him back . Or God forbid lose him .

All will be well x

I sympathise too, it does set you back when things like this happen. My ex is the same his happiness is more important than anyone else''s. Where as I feel if you love your children their happiness comes first.

Your son is lucky to have such a loving and caring mum, your ex may one day regret treating your son so badly as he is on the way to losing him if he carries on this way.

Carry on as you are Patsy you are doing a great job.
