Dealing with divorce

I'm trying come to terms with where I am.

The last two years have been a nightmare.

I found out my husband was having an affair with a young girl. Not only that but he'd been having affairs behind my back for years, even with someone I'd considered a good friend.

I tried to repair it but there wasn't anything to repair really.

I ended up sofa surfing around friends in my church and drinking far too much. Finally the old friend who'd cheated with my husband told me to wise up. I went to a good solicitor and drove through a tough divorce.

My kids wanted to stay in the big house with dad and the new girlfriend. That was probably the most painful thing.

A few months ago I moved into a new house in a new city and was simply totally lost. I met a neighbour who's been just brilliant. She was the first person I didn't feel was judging me. She keeps suggesting here so I thought I'd try it.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I really know how it feels. When my ex cheated on me, I made the decision right then to choose my peace of mind, and I’ve never looked back. I’m lucky my daughter stood by that decision too. It’s hard to put the feeling into words, but I want you to know that in time, it will get better. Stay strong, you’ll find your way through this and come out even stronger.
