Hi to everyone! I haven’t been on here for a while and haven’t had a chance to read posts and comments as much as I would like to. Being a single mum and working full time in London is proving to be a challenge. The weeks are fast and furious with all I have to…
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…
What does it mean to be traumatically bonded to someone and how does it affect someone? I know this is a subject that has been well researched and documented, but I am trying to understand it for myself in the context of my relationship with my ex-husband. Although we are divorced, I feel a tug…
Ever since I started counselling, I have had rather vivid dreams, and last night I had a particularly powerful dream that I can’t quite shake off. In ‘Warming the Stone Child’, Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes talks about the need to pay close attention to your dreams as you walk the path of self-transformation and growth…
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…
Happy New Year to you all! I haven’t posted for a while because I have had very little time to myself at home. Ironically when I am at work, I have more time to blog! For those of you who have been following my blog, my husband (soon to be ex) left yesterday and so…
And so the saga continues. I was in tears at work this morning after so much emotional upheaval last night. It was stage 2 from the diagram you see above. The Incident! My husband arrived on Saturday night and the tension has been steadily building! We have been separated for eight months now and he…
Thank you to all my fellow bloggers, warrior men and women who are supporting me through my abusive husband’s crazymaking strategies! I am never going back to the madness. He keeps bringing out new tools from his box; victim, aggressor, pleading, begging, crying, insulting, ridiculing, belittling. This morning he brought out a new one and…
You push me to the edge, over and over. Do you enjoy seeing me mad? Losing Control? Is it the reaction that you want? You twist my words and contort your face to corrupt any good feeling in the room. My confidence and calm are personal affronts to you. My pain is your sport. Your…
