How does one even begin to deal with an ex-husband who uses his child to garner sympathy for himself? Who will stop at nothing to be divisive and try to slowly and secretly corrode the relationship you have with your child. My son has come back from two sleepovers by his dad with things that…
I feel so invigorated and alive. Running does that for me. It’s really warm today and after dropping my son off at school I took a run in the local park. I had my earphones plugged into my ear and I did six laps. That doesn’t amount to more than about 3km as its a…
I am trying desperately to find my centre, that place of peace and stillness and serenity amidst everything that is going on. I will be jobless by the end the week and my ex is staying with me. These are very emotionally triggering situations for me. He didn’t have a place to stay as his…
It’s not easy to start a new life in a new place, make new friends, find a new job. So much ‘newness’ in such a short time. All the comfort and the familiarity of the old path has disappeared. It’s so easy to feel like you want to run back to the comfort of the…
I haven’t been posting regularly because I still don’t have a wireless connection at home but will hopefully have one by this evening. Wanted to update you and say that I do miss being on here. I miss your voices of warmth and comfort. I need those voices today more than ever. It’s been a…

Hello everyone. It’s so good to be back and writing again. I have missed being part of the WordPress community and realised during the last three weeks how much it means to me. So much has happened since I left for London over three weeks ago and so I have decided to do a write…
The divorce proceedings are well on their way. I have the decree nisi which means that the court has approved the divorce. The next stage will be to make the decree nisi absolute and this will be done very soon, sometime in August according to my lawyer. Once I have the decree absolut in hand,…
I am going to stay where I am for the first time in my life. I am not going to uproot my son and take him away from his comfortable life to be closer to an abusive man. A man who hurt his mother and pretends that it didn’t happen. If he hurt me then…
My lawyer contacted me last week to inform me that he would be sending the draft petition to my husband this week. I feel edgy and nervous. What’s going to happen next? How will he react? This will be the first official document that he receives informing him that I want a divorce. I have…
