Thanks for your post. Unfortunately it is my mum, my sister and my best friend who all want me to just give up... I kind of feel all alone really but another friend came round tonight and gave me a huge amount of support and said that she'll support me whatever I do which was really lovely. I do feel sad though that I can't ring my mum about things and have to pretend everything is fine on the phone - that's what she wants to hear and can't take hearing anything else. When I phoned my best friend last night about the text she just didn't say helpful things and I find it really hard when people say bad things about my husband as he is still my husband! Maybe on the plus side though I am bonding with new friends...
I am going to book an appointment with a solicitor though just to find out my position, that is a really good suggestion thank you.
