I cannot tell you how utterly devastated I feel tonight……I feel as though there is one big conspiracy theory going on. If I wrote the whole sorry tale down it wouldn’t sound possible. Words fail me……..I had to sit for one and a half hours listening to utter crap……whilst that man chuckled to himself! I honestly feel as though I am in a living nightmare! Tears rolled down my cheeks whilst listening to the latest judgement and more tears and smeared mascara ran down my face on the train home. When I walked in the door I broke down only to have to pull myself together to face the children who have no idea how cruel their father is being. I still cannot believe what is happening….I feel as though I’m being punished. Yet, the guilty party seems to walk away unscathed all the time. Nothing happens to him…he is getting away with everything.
Whilst I sat there I wrote down some of the feelings that I felt, words that were uttered and actions that happened, the laughs certainly didn’t come from me:
After all this time I am still in a state of shock that the man I trusted more than anyone in the world, who I loved with all my heart, who I thought I could depend on and rely on can treat me and ultimately our children this way. Will that ever go? Will I ever understand it? 
I just wanted to pop in and do a quick post….sorry for my absence recently. The end of the school year is always a busy time but the holidays are here and lets hope the sun stays shining.
I had a tough week last week…..I was quite emotional and then a couple of little accidents happened and that sent me over the edge, as it were. Sometimes the huge responsibility of bringing up the children on my own gets to me, not that I mind….it’s when they get hurt or are upset…there is no one else to do the worrying with me or to take some of the worry away. I get angry then that I’ve been left in this position with no say in the matter whatsoever.
The first stage of what will be, fingers crossed, the end of the legal matters hopefully later this year,happens this week….but because of changes in the legal team I feel a bit anxious as I haven’t a clue what is going on. I hate not knowing what is going to be said, used, who is going to talk….it’s been a battle for them to get documents. Everyone seems to work on a ‘last minute’ basis but this is mine and the children’s future and I find it very hard to put my complete trust in them.
I’ve recently started doing some other things too which takes up time….exercise, very important, I hate it but it’s good for me. That’s what they say anyway. When I get the chance I am reading a good book too…..I’m pleased that I can actually concentrate on something even if it’s only for a short time.
Anyway, now that the children are off hopefully I will be able to start catching up reading posts when the court date is over with. Take some time out for a week or so.
I am currently juggling too many balls at the moment, well dropping them would be more apt. I don’t seem to be getting anywhere fast. I feel exhausted too. I have so many ideas of projects that I want to start and yet normal everyday life gets in the way. The cheek of it! The house is an absolute tip…that in itself gets me down, but that’s another story. I feel as though I don’t have enough time for anyone…..then I feel guilty about that. I have demands being made on me for all the legal bits coming up and jobs that I really don’t want to do…..it also looks as though the house will have to go on the market very soon. I cannot bear the thought of yet another job, unwanted at that, added to the list. The idea of potential buyers viewing the house makes me go cold.
I so wish I could tell you all the information that I have heard in the last week….it’s unbelievable. I still cannot take it in. The deviousness and greed is beyond any understanding of mine.Why do I still try and find answers to it all……I so wish I didn’t. I really hate that I think so much…it makes my brain hurt trying to make sense of it all.
The next few weeks are crucial…..typical that it’s during the school holidays but hopefully I’ll get some breathing space with not having my day cut so short with school runs.
Please bear with me….thanks for all the support.
Have you ever stumbled across a photo or photos that aren’t meant for your eyes….would you then scrutinise them for clues….trying to interpret the body language, any hidden meanings…checking out clothes, jewellery ……wondering how much it all costs. Wondering if those looks are genuine….trying to imagine what is going on in those heads, the thoughts…..
The internet is a never ending vat of information……sometimes good, sometimes not so good. It has it’s benefits…….but sometimes too much information isn’t such a good thing.
Have you ever stumbled across information that you wish you hadn’t?
