Thanks vanilla.

I've always been financially OK. I know I'm not good with money so I structure everything so I don't have to care. Basically it all takes care of itself and I have an allowance. It works for me.

Thats why the financial settlement was so important - without it my structure has a dodgy foundation.

She must know I don't have any savings (she had them all) so I don't get her stance at all.

She does see my changes she said she doesn't want to see them. At the moment I think she thinks I'm doing them to hurt her rather than the real story which is I'm doing them because I don't like who I became (which cost me her). To me it's a really important difference.

I'm just sad and hurt that shes actualky going. I also feel like its THE end when I know its only an end. I recognise all that and it will pass just may take a whike
