That's sounds like an awesome day!


Resentment occurs when we aren't doing what we need to care for ourselves, though we expect others to do it for us.

H came round this morning to pick up my son. He stayed for a coffee and all 3 of us sat there having a chat about Christmas Day. He even thanked me for his coffee and said it was a lovely cup of coffee. I've never been able to make him a decent cup since he left, lol.
When he left, he looked up at me and smiled. I've heard others say on here how their WAS/MLCers don't look them in the eyes anymore. Anyway it was the saddest smile I've ever seen. Maybe it's Christmas, but I think there was some regret behind that smile. I can't go back to how we were before though, too much has gone down. I've got to move on now, maybe in the future I might learn to love and trust him again but not at the moment.
I've been putting off telling you all this as I know I'm going to be hit by a 2x4. I rang up MIL the other day and I was complaining about my mum to her and how she'd upset me. I said I'd forgiven my H for leaving me and I had hoped that as a Christian my mum would've too. Well... That was the wrong thing to say - My MIL said there's nothing to forgive, why do you think he left you? I said I didn't know. She said all these years you've slept in separate beds and you've lied to me about it's because he snored. I said I didn't lie, H was overweight and snored loudly and either woke me up or kept me awake. She said that I've got to take the blame for things that have happened between us as well as H. Then she apologised and said that it's because he is her son. I hardly ever lie, little white lies maybe but I hate being called a liar. She really upset me and I don't think she knows how much.
Anyway she rang me and my son on Christmas Day and was all happy and jolly again.
I feel that this separation has caused a rift in our family. My mum, dad and sister would never accept him back and I know this isn't their life but I couldn't cope with the aggro. I could forgive my MIL for saying that I'm a liar, but could she forgive me. My family has never really accepted him back for the last time he left me, they say they have but deep down there was still an underlying thing going on. My H hasn't worked for a while because of his depression and he's built up a considerable amount of debt. I don't really want his debt back and he still hasn't got a job. We all want our families to be proud of us deep down and I want a happy life now, not the life I had with H for the last 4 years. I don't want to have to struggle with money anymore, struggle with coping with his depression and him being out of work. This is why I'm looking forward now to getting a better life for me, I want to go forwards not backwards.
Anyway, on a more cheerful note, I hope everyone here has a great Boxing Day smile I'm off to my friend's in the afternoon and stopping over. She's got some neighbours coming in during the afternoon and then when they've gone we'll have a chance to catch up as I've not seen her for ages! I'm looking forward to telling her all about my wish list and see what she thinks about whether I've got a chance. I've got a bottle of pink champagne chilling in the fridge that I'm taking round smile She said she had a box of wine, but I'm sure she won't refuse some champagne smile BTW, I did drink the rest of the champagne last night, I had a cup of camomile tea and a valerian tablet to help me sleep. I had a great sleep last night and woke up about 9am smile

Hi TTD, glad you had a good Christmas Day. Enjoy your day with your friend.

As for MIL, don't give her a second thought. You don't know what your H has been saying to her. It is only natural for her to side with your H. She isn't worth your stressing about. Rise above it and show everyone who the better person is.

Thanks NQ I will smile My friend texted me this morning to say that her plans have now changed and she's spending the day with her family. I had another invitation yesterday from another friend from Church, so I phoned up this morning to ask if the invitation was still open. I'm off round there later on for something to eat and drink smile
I was supposed to be going out with my gay friend later, but he's not well frown I went to see him and his unit was closed. I asked one of the others where he was and she said have I been going around with my eyes closed? I asked her what's happened and she said he's lost the plot frown Apparently he's been getting worse over the last 3 weeks, talking about committing suicide and getting very depressed. They have called in the crisis team now, so he's getting the help he needs smile I was so shocked, I hadn't noticed at all! I did notice he would say hello and then wander off, but he does this anyway as he's busy and he's working.Oh well, there's always a next time to go out and get bladdered, hehe smile That means drunk in case you didn't know smile

Sounds like you had a nice Christmas. I'm envious of the bottle of champagne and the great night's sleep! wink

Sounds like you've done a lot of thinking and have a great PMA going for the new year!

Keep it up!
