Hi Punkin,
It has been a very long journey and I'm still here. Many days I ask myself why? H has really treated me badly at times but underneath it all I could see a glimmer of hope, I could recognise that love was still always there. I've hung on to that tiny glimmer.

H and I were very happy for so many years but as business and family demands increased we lost our way and unhappiness set in. No decent communication about our feelings and a life threatening illness sent things into a huge downward spiral.

I want the chance to see if we can work towards a better relationship. Will I get the chance? Who knows but things are the strongest they've been for ages.

Christmas is a long way off!
