Its been a while so I thought it was time for a long overdue update whilst I have hijacked my brothers laptop and am able to post something!! Things are going pretty well. As some of you may know I have now graduated uni and I'm working full time in my chosen profession. Its a tough and challenging first year and keeping me on my toes but the distraction is welcome and it feels pretty darn good!! Daughter is settled at school and at home, has regular overnight contact with dad which seems to be working well. Their relationship is still pretty shaky but stbx is reluctant to make any

Part of me actually feels quite guilty that my blogs have taken a more positive turn recently, but i will continue to blog so people can see that it does get better!! A brief history: Married in April 2010 after 6 years together, stbxh left 3 days after xmas same year, found out a few months later he had been having an affair with a mutual friend who cared for our young daughter. At the time i was halfway through my second year of a 4 year degree. Life came crashing down. Everytime i felt i had hit rock bottom, something else would happen and i would slide even further down. Uni wanted me

Ok so I havent blogged in a while or as much as i have done in the past. As many of you know i have recently finished my degree and am currently busy applying and interviewing for my first post in my new career!! Things with stbxh are still pretty much the same. My solicitor is in the process of applying for the decree nisi so thats one huge step forward. We attended mediation recently and the change from the first time we went shortly after our separation was immense. Dont get me wrong, he was still the rude, verbally abusive twit he has always been, screaming and swearing about
